How to include my Godson in the wedding?
So FH and I want our oldest nephew to be our RB, but we also want our second nephew (and godson) to have some kind of role. He will be about 2 1/2 at the time of the wedding.What would you suggest?

I'm guessing you don't want 2 ring bearers.

i like the idea of two ringbearers
but if you really dont want that, you can have the older one carry one of those 'hear come the bride' signs since they are bit too heavy/cumbersome for a toddler. and have the young one carry the rings.

I have two little boys being pages/trainbearers. They hold the train of your dress as you walk down the aisle. I wanted to incorporate them into the wedding party, but we already had- and only wanted- one RB. So they are both being pages; they'll be 4 & 3 and I think they will look absolutely adorable.

I am having my 2 nephews in the wedding The younger of the two is the actual RB & the older is going to start the ceremony by walking down w/a light candle in memory of my brother (his father).

I was afraid 2 1/2 was too little!!!
I would totally do that if other people thought 2 1/2 was an OK age!!

Re: How to include my Godson in the wedding?
I think 2 1/2 is fine for a ring bearer

Re: How to include my Godson in the wedding?
My oldest nephew will be 7, so he will be the ring bearer. My godson, and his twin brother will be almost 2 then. We're going to wait it out for now, to see what their personalities are like at that point. Ultimately, I'd like to have them walk down and hand out rose buds to the people on the aisle. But kids are unpredictable, so who knows!

I dont think 2 1/2 is too young to be a RB....but if you really thnk it is, have him give out bubbles or programs or something.
