Except for my sister, the MOH, and my adult chuppah bearers, my bridal party was all kids. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a good photo of all of us on this computer, but here's one of me with the kids from my side of the family, and then one of my husband and I with the kids from his side. Only the girls were in matching outfits, though. The boys just wore suits. Or, sort of matching on the girls: the two older girls, who are sisters, wore matching navy dresses, the youngest bridesmaid and the flowergirl wore the same dress, but one in navy and one in palest yellow.
I'm really happy about my decision to use all kids--they loved it, I loved having all my nieces and nephews in the ceremony, and I didn't have to try to talk my friends into being bridesmaids. I was an older bride, and my friends are a bit 'over' the whole bridesmaid thing, although they would have done it if I asked. It just seemed like a better idea to get the girls to do it instead, as they all loved the opportunity to dress up in a pretty dress, carry flowers, wear a tiara, and get all the attention.
I luv it. That's exactly what I was picturing in my head. It's a good number of girls. I have about 8 so far, and then the one ring bearer - my nephew
My family loves the idea. My FH is still on the fence about it. I'm happy either way.

Re: Bridal Party -Kids
I realized recently that my entire BP, except for our BM is under 18 yrs old. Not really that we planed it that way, it just happened. I think it will be nice though.
