I have two little boy cousins who will be 6 and 4 when the wedding roles around. I was planning on having the 6-year old walk down with the flower girl who will also be 6. But what should I do with the 4-year old? What other things could he do as he walks down the aisle? Should I get another flower girl his age?

Re: Ring Bearer Alternatives
If you have another little girl than I think that's fine. I have 2 FG's and a RB, but I also have a Jr BM and Jr. Usher. Couldn't leave out the 10year olds
Anything will work, it's your wedding!
They also have a thing called Pages, not positive as to what it is, I'll see if I can find some info for you.

Here you go:
Pages: Duties & Tips
If the bride in your wedding (maybe it's even you!) is planning to wear a gown featuring an extra-long train, keep fears of an unplanned stumble at bay by enlisting a little train-bearing help. The solution? Pages to the rescue!
DUTIES Pages walk behind the bride and carry her long train. In fact, they're sometimes known as train bearers. Because many brides opt for shorter trains these days, pages are often unnecessary. But if she's set on sporting a 25-foot train, it's a good idea to include two young pages (traditionally aged six to nine) in your wedding party.
WHO TO CHOOSE? You'll probably want to choose a young family member. If you've already chosen a tiny tyke as ring bearer, why not let boys who are a little older act as pages? Perhaps your cousins have children you can enlist, or you can choose a godchild or a family friend.
WHAT THEY WEAR Pages can partake of many style options. Check out our ring bearer's attire article for suggestions. Ring bearers and pages needn't wear exactly the same outfit--remember that pages may be a bit older than ring bearers, so don't embarrass them by shoving them into the same sailor suits the little tykes are wearing.

My cousin had 2 RB and 1 FG for her wedding. She had both RB walk down side by side...then the FG walked down behind them alone dropping rose petals. I looked fine and so cute!

Re: Ring Bearer Alternatives
Why not have one boy on each side of the little girl? That would be so cute! They could each carry one ring pillow. Or, you could have one be a mini usher and walk up the aisle with one of the ushers close to him or with a bridesmaid close to him!

I am having 1 FG and 2 RB. The FG will walk inbetween the two RB. I think it is going to look so cute!
