Ring Bearer's Age

I don't know who to chose as a ring bearer. His mom feels FH cousin from PA who is 4 years should be the ring bearer. We barely see him and when we do he's shy around.

I want FH's nephew, who is 11, to be the ring bearer. His mom feels his nephew is too old.

What do you ladies think?

I know this post is old but I am had the opposite problem with my flower girl. My fh cousin will be 11 at the wedding and really who cares how old they are, they are just kids. What's the difference between a fg/rb or junior gm or bm? Really they just arent holding something down the aisle. I doubt any of ur guests will think twice about it and if they do they have problems lol

Their is not a right or wrong age for RB or FG... If that's what you guys want go for it....

I think 11 is more Jr. Groomsman age. I think 8 is pretty much the upper limit for a ring bearer, but it's up to you

I agree with this. Our ring bearers will be 6 and 8. Can't you make the 11 yr old a Jr. Groomsman?

Re: Ring Bearer's Age

My RB is my 10 year old brother. He will be helping the FG get down the aisle, because she will only be 18 months at the time of the wedding.

Re: Ring Bearer's Age

My RB is 8 and my FG is 5

I dint believe I saw a rule book on how young you must be to be thrown down an aisle with 100 people gawking at you.

Do whatever YOU want and choose WHOMEVER you want in YOUR wedding party.
