how to incorporate godchildren?????

just found out that my god kids all 3 of them are making the treck from va to the wedding - i know i would like them all to be in the wedding party but since i didnt think they were comming i have pretty much amassed the bridesmaids etc already - my 11 yr old goddaughter was like aunty amy can i be in your wedding pleease - what was i suppose to say ??? geesh -
so now i have my 11yr old goddaughter
9 yr old godson and 1 yr old goddaughter to put into the bridal party - what in the world do i title them as????
need suggestions here big time !
i have 2 flower girls 5 and 6 yrs old
2 bridesmaids 14, 30
maid of honor and matron of honor
on the grooms side is 2 ushers
one junior usher/ ring bearer ( he is 12 a bit old to be a ring bearer but i dont really have younger males in my family or in his )
not sure what to call them -
my mom suggested i dress them all in ivory and have the 2 older ones pull the little one in a wagon with the rings in it - ( i dont think a red wagon fits into my renaissance theme )
thoughts and suggestions needed i have been racking my brain all night!!!!

Re: how to incorporate godchildren?????

ok lets see I am trying to figure this out.
your bridal party is
2 BM
2 MOH
2 Ushers
1 JR usher
1 ring bearer
2 FG
and you need to fill in 3 more

would you consider having the 9 yr old as your ring bearer and bumping up the 12 yr old to a jr usher? this way it is even. the 1 yr old I think is too young to be in bridal party, but she can be dressed up like the FG so that she stands out to the guest, and lets see the 11 yr old if you are having programs/ bubbles/petals you can make her in charge of those things. Making sure every guest gets a program and bubbles or which ever you are using to make her feel just as important . I hope this helps.
