They took one of the flower and left the other one on top of a plaque for their little. The plaque had their family poem on it. Once all of the bigs had picked their flowers and left their matching flower for their little...the rest of the sisters took all of the remaining flowers. All sisters also had a lit candle.
We had a table in the front of the room with a big bowl filled with floating unlit candles. (we were big on the floating candles!! LOL!!!) All of the sisters stood around the room holding their lit candles and their flowers. The little sisters would read their family poem and then pick up their flower. They would them walk around and look for their matching flower. When they found it that was their big sister. We had a lot of fun with it...and it was so pretty!! Then the big sister and the little sister walked up to the table. The big sister lit the little sisters candle..and then they both lit one of the floating candles together. It was really very pretty!!!

That sounds so pretty. When I found out who my big sister was, we had yarn strung through our house and throughout the yard. At the end there was a gift. We had to open it to find out who our big sister was. I had such a good time.
I'm such a stick in the mud about some of the terms though. I find it confusing to call your big sister a mom and I'm glad we didn't use it.
