The best gift is to include all three children in the wedding ceremony. You are forming a new family, not just getting married. Young children need the reassurance that this new person is an addition to their lives, not taking you away from them.

Wooden baseball bat wth their names engraved on them, a car shaped alarm clock with their names on it, an engraved yo-yo.....
Check out www.customweddingsolutions.com/attgifts.html and scroll down almost to the bottom. They have ots of great ring bearer gifts that would work.
My husband has children and we had them stand up with us during a special unity ceremony and we each read what family meant and then made a promise to always love and support one another. It was very sweet. Not a dry eye in the house.

We gave each other's children gifts as part of the wedding ceremony. Boys are more difficult to shop for. My son was 8 and we gave him a watch which was engraved. He likes it. The girls got an engraved silver jewelery box and an engraved silver mirror. Talk to whoever is performing the wedding ceremony, they may have good ideas too.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Well, gifts depend a lot on how close he is to your boys
How about watches? All same so that dad and boys match, its useful and is a manly way to show their feelings for their new dad.
Engraved w/ each persons name and date.

I thought it was a fact that children came after the wedding day....however give them plenty of love and care.

The Family Medallion has some nice tie tacks, key rings, watches, etc, for boys, lots of jewelry choices for girls and there's a nice ceremony that goes along with it. They make nice keepsakes.

That is a tough one, they are too young to appreciate anything sentimental.
My first thoughts would be to give all three of them their own savings account, boring yes but it would be fair all the way across the board and they can add to it everytime they earn money or they receive money as a gift, best idea I could come up with

IF I WAS HIM I WOULD LET THEM STAND UP WITH HIM AS HIS BEST MEN AND LET YOUR DAUGHTER BE THE MAID OF HONOR. THAT WAY THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE A BIG PART OF THE MARRIAGE, NOT JUST THE KIDS THAT HIS WIFE HAS. AND IF THE BOYS REALLY NEED SOMETHING JUST THINK THEY GAINED ANOTHER FATHER HE HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO DO OR BUY THEM SOMETHING. MAKE IT SOMETHING THEY MIGHT HAVE WANTED FOR SOME TIME.

I don't understand why you want to give your children gifts on your wedding day; that seems inappropriate to me.

Teddy Bears with their names embroidered on them
A cross on a necklace
