Sand ceremony... with 6 kids

We just picked our favorite colors and are using them lol orange for my step son, blue for me, and green for FH.

I would suggest not doing a sand ceremony with 8 people, that sounds like a mess.

But if you are, you can either let everyone have their own colour, or do shades of two colours, be it your wedding colours or other. (Ex. Mint, sage, and dark green for your side, and aqua, teal, periwinkle, blue, and dark blue for his side).

FH and I have 4 kids between us. We let the kids pick their favorite color sand on Oriental Trading company. They have tons of different colors. We ordered a monogramed box that came with 2 pouring glasses and will be getting 4 more pouring glasses from the dollar store.

I recently did one with 10 grandkids. Let them pick the colors and have your officiant talk about the rainbow of personalities that make up your family. It'll be a mess but hey, life is messy. I like it.

I also encourage my families to include little charms, favorite rocks, even army men or action figures (small ones) and to give the vessel a shake every year so the pattern changes as the family evolves....
