I need help...
I'm thinking of my 12 year old cousins, being flowergirl and ring bearer. I'm having a no kids policy, so this would be great. Parents wouldn't have to worry that their kids are going swimming or something.Do you think that their age is a big deal?
Is it necessary to 3-4 year olds as fg rb?
Thanks.

Re: I need help...
I think you can have whatever you want. Our ring bearer will be 12 and he looks about 17, so go figure

Re: I need help...
i agree about the jr bridesmaid and jr usher. my god son was 10 and was too embarrassed to be the second ring bearer with dh 4 year nephew so i made him a jr usher and he felt more important and like a big guy lol

Re: I need help...
I would agree that you could do Jr. Usher and Jr. Bridesmaid. FH has two cousin's one who is 4 and one who is 9. The 4 yr old is our flowergirl and we thought that the 9 year old was going to be too old to be a flowergirl so we asked her to be a Jr. Bridesmaid.

At that age, they would appreciate 'jr' in front of their title for BM or GM. Makes them feel more special and grown up!

I think you can have whatever you want!!! My ringbearers are 10 and 8 BUT the 8 year old, my brother is TALL - I mean over 4 feet but I dont care what people say.

Re: I need help...
If you want them in your wedding, who cares what people will think.My brother is walking down the aisle with his 9 year-old daughter (my JBM), because we have a female shortage.
Some people tell me it'll look strange to pair an adult male with a little girl, but it is her FATHER. Get over it. People are strange. Ignore what anyone else thinks.

Re: I need help...
If you want them as you flower girl and ring bearer that is fine. I don't think there is an age limit.I'm having my 7yr old niece as my flower girl and my 2 yr old nephew as the ring bearer.
Since we also want have fh cousins in it we are going to have his 10yr old as a jr bridesmaid and his 12 cousin as a jr usher.
