is it stupid to...

get a ring pillow if there is no ring bearer? Like, just have the best man hold it or something?

I'm trying to figure out how to do this... I feel like I want the rings to have a special place in the ceremony, not just be shoved in the best man's pocket because we don't have a ring bearer. I thought maybe we'd have the pillow displayed somewhere...

How are you handling the rings, if you don't have a ring bearer?

Personally, I think the BM would look weird holding the ring pillow. I didn't have a ring bearer either, so the BM just kept the rings in his pocket. JMHO

We have a ring bearer but Im not putting the real rings on the pillow anyway. I think most wedding the BM holds them

I wouldn't have the pillow....but maybe you can have them in a special box of some kind that when the BM takes em out they will be seen in it??? I got my engagement ring in a long stem rose that was a ring box (the top of rose)???? Just an idea.

The best man does not hold the ring pillow. They usually just hold the rings (inside pocket) if there is not ring bearer.

The ring pillow is just 'cute' with the ring bearer.

Yeah I think it would look pretty silly. Theres no written rule that says you HAVE to have a RB.

We're actually having fake rings attached to the pillow (Love my nephew, but just don't trust a 4 year old to carry expensive rings that are tied to a pillow) My brother (aka the 'Best Man') will have the real ones. When we ask the RB to give us the rings, we'll just do a little switch-a-roo real quick. He's so proud to have such an important job that I can't tell him they're not real.

Sara-I think no pillow..you don't really need it. If you have your heart set on it, maybe it can be placed somewhere ahead of the ceremony so it's in reach but no one has to hold it?

We don't have a ring bearer either
So that means our BM will be holding on to them as well.
