My nephew who's 10 years old is going to be my ring bearer. Actually, he'll have just turned 11 by my wedding. Is that too old for a ring bearer? Should I have asked him to be a junior usher instead?

i think it depends on your thoughts, because it's YOUR wedding. i chose not to, because he's 10, and want to make him a trainbearer instead (I just posted a ? about this!) but it's not a big deal if he's 10. It's YOUR wedding! you decide! good luck!

Oh, I have you beat! My ringbearer will be 12! But I don't care. That's what I want him to be and I figure we'll actually let him carry thing rings, since he'll be old enough that we can trust him with that

In my humble opinion, he's not too old to be a ringbearer unless he's shaving already. As long as you & he are happy, go for it. Either way, as a ringbearer or jr. usher, it's an honor for him to be in your party & an honor for you to have him.

my brother is going to be 10 when i get married and i asked him to be an usher - he's almost as tall as my mom now - my OPINION is that ring bearers should be small cute little boys with big ass smiles that everyone finds adorable - my 10 yr old brother fits as an usher - but thats just MY OPINION!

11 is fine for a ring bearer

Do whatever makes you happy. I'm breaking 'tradition' by having both parents walk me down the aisle and by having my brother as my Man of Honor, b/c - that's what will make me happy!

I don't think so. It's your wedding so do whatever makes you happy! :) I was having the same doubts. I was worried that my 10 year old brother would be too old also. But I know I can trust him with the rings and he'll walk down the aisle with no problem. One of my bridesmaids was the maid of honor in a wedding where the really young ring bearer threw a tantrum and started hitting his mom with the pillow...in the middle of the processional!
