Answer 2

Since the odds of you having a "family coat of arms" are pretty slim (they really don't pass to everyone in the family, which is the misnomer to the idea and most families never were royal enough to have one), why don't you copy all of them, as well as the real coat of arms your family would have, which is the one for the royal family of the part of Spain your family originally came from?

In fact, if you really wanted to make it fun (and more legitimate) there are software programs on the internet that let you design your own coat of arms. You could have a nice laptop/color printer set up and let everyone spend a little time at the party designing something special to your family, then vote on which one everyone wants to adopt.

There's a lot written on this site about why the coat of arms peddlers on the internet are a sham, but if your family created its own, not only would it be fun, but you could legitimately pass it down to everyone in the family for centuries.

The most common Narvaez coat of arms is the one shown at:

there are others:
Arms: Gules, on a mount vert, a castle or, issuing therefrom a standard azure, a cross or, at the port a lion passant of the last; on a bordure azure, eight mullets or.

granted by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in Valladolid, 9th May 1545 to Don Andrés de Narváez, Governor of Peru.

and

Arms: Azure, a castle or between three fleurs-de-lis argent.
