This is a long shot but if you have long dress maybe she can hold the end of it or you can always have her as a jr bridesmaid.

I don't know, but IMO, since your daughter is so young and probably unable to walk down on her own (without encouragement) and drop flowers, I would have her and your sister go together. I can't imagine the hurt your sister will feel if she is the only one excluded. At six, she would be a perfect choice for a flowergirl who could walk escort your daughter down the aisle. I just think that you shouldn't exclude your sister. She is old enough to feel the pain. (JMO)! Good luck, its a hard decision and i know you can't always have everyone involved in the wedding, but if she is the only one left out, it is a wound that will be difficult to heal.

I went to a wedding with 2 FGs, and it was the cutest thing. But if you only want to have 1, you can make your sister a JBM. She may be considered to young for that, but at least you are including her.

Re: PLEASE HELP (LONG)
I would definitely try & include your sister. She's probably too young to do a reading, right?
I like the 2 Fgs, especially since your daughter is so young. You could do the trista & ryan thing & have her pull a wagon with your daughter in it
If you REALLY only want 1 FG, then have her as a JR BM. It doesn't matter what they look like.
You also have her hand stuff out instead, if you are having programs or bubbles/rose petals, etc, but she prorbably wants to wear a pretty dress like the other girls.

I like the Ryan and Trista idea and the train bearer. Having lost a younger sister, I'd do anything to have her in my wedding.

How about you have your 6 yr old sister pull the flower girl in a little red wagon? I saw that on Trista and Ryan's wedding...sooooo cute!

I agree, I think that with your daughter being only 2 that having another FG would be fine. 2 year olds arent the most reliable at getting down the aisle, therfore having someone she knows walking with her to encourage her might be helpful. Also you could have your older sister walk first alone, then your 6 year old sister alone and hten the FG and RB. Both your sisters could still be the Jr BM but just walk alone! I think b/c you have included all the rest you HAVE to include her otherwise her feelings would be really hurt.

Re: PLEASE HELP (LONG)
my sister had 2 FG in the wedding... it was the talk (1 of many) of the wedding. it was great..they were 4 and 5. and they were both pretty.
Trista and Ryan wagon bit i might pull off in my wedding. We are having a age cut off and pretty much a few kids won't be invited (like they will remember it) so i might add an older couisn 8 or 9 and pull down another relative 2 or 3 (very clumpsey walking) in the wagon
OMG, those are the two cutest little girls!!!! I dont have any lil girls in my family so I wont be able to have a flower girl. Can I borrow those two cuties?

Those are adorable girls!
I have to agree with the young FG thing being an issue. My FBIL has two 4 year old twins, but at the last minute they decided they couldn't do it. Their mother had to walk them both down the isle, spreading the flowers for them!
Definetely have your sister help your baby. It'll be so cute!

Re: PLEASE HELP (LONG)
I think you should definately include your 6 yr old sister. She would feel very left out and eventually grow up, looking at the wedding pictures, seeing how she is not in them.
I think having 2 flower girls would not be a bad idea. If you want to single your daughter out, you can have the 6 yr old walk first, throwing flowers, than the BP and than your daughter FG, and than you.
Or you can make her a JBM.
