Re: how do you pick out of 6 nieces and nephews?
i have 22 nieces and nephews...so...i put all my nieces in and i put my two nephews who are also my godsons in. (some of my nieces are older, like 19-20, so they are bridesmaids, and some are junior bms, and flowergirls...however, i now have a bridal party of 34 people!!!

that is a great idea- but doesnt work for me- i'm godmother to the 13 year old - of course- since that doesnt really help on picking the ring bearer and flower girl- he's too old for that....

Re: how do you pick out of 6 nieces and nephews?
This is what I have... One sister has 2 daughter... 8 and 14 and a bridemaid and the other junior.. My other sister has 2 daughters also... 6 and 8...both junior bridesmaids..AND 2 sons...one is 3 and the other 17...so one is a groomsman and the other the ring-barer... But, doesn't end there. I'm real close with my future sis in law...and she has 2 daughters....3 and 5... so they are my flowergirls. It wont seem like that much for me b/c the 3 juniors will walk together, as well as the 2 FGs. I'm super close to ALL of them...i'm their number one aunt...so I neeeded them there. And believe me, seeing their faces light up to know what role they played in my wedding was amazing..
If you don't want to have a large party though, I would choose by who you're closest to. Like, if you only see certain ones during hlidays and birthdays only, then don't have them in. That's the best advise I can give...sorry...I'm a kid at heart and I know taht when my sister got married when I was 8 and I wasn't in it I would have been heart-broken... again, I was always close with her. So, it all depends. Go with your heart....

if you really want to include everyone, and it seems like you do, you could have the 7 and 8yr olds as junior bm and junior gm... i feel like that's just pushing it a little age-wise for flowergirls/ring bearers anyway....and then you can have the 2 youngest boys be the ring bearers with the 1yr old niece as the flower girl.

I would just not have any of them in the wedding, so it is fair to all

i agree, if they are 7-8 years old make them Jr bm and Jr gm...then the youngest ones can be FG/rb

I have 3 nephews and 1 niece. FH has 1 nephew. I couldn't imagine having to choose, so they will ALL be in the wedding. We will have 1 FG and 4 RB!

maybe pick out of a hat and then have the others hand out programs? Or give them another job to do. If there will be hurt feelings, maybe have all or non? Itshard to say without knowing your exact situation.

we had all our nieces and nephews in the wedding except for the 18 month old and the 5 month old. we had 6 flower girls and a 11 year old ring bearer. another niece was a bridesmaid and my nephew was an usher.

Re: how do you pick out of 6 nieces and nephews?
I have the same issue!
I just decided to use all of them and throw out the bridesmaids and groomsmen!
I'm so happy I did this, and my whole family aplauds and my friends think its the cutest idea ever. No one was offended.
Im just not sure what to call the boys, will they all be ring bearers? hmm... I need more jewlerly

So ONLY your nieces and newphews are in it? how old are they and how many do you have? thats a really cute idea- call the boys jr groomsmen
