Too many Ring Bearers!

So between mine and FH's family there a 5 little boys, my sister has a 2 year old, my brother has a 3 year old. FH's sister has 3 year old twins and his other sister has a 5 year old! We have no idea what to do about a RB!! We don't want to insult anyone and we have no idea how to decide and I think having 5 RB's is just way to many...what do I do?!?

I have a similar problem, but in my opinion use the oldest boy. At 5 years old he can take direction and behave himself, whereas the others are still toddlers and may be a little harder to manage in the role of ring bearer. My girlfriend had her 3-year-old be hers, and he ran down the aisle the wrong way and dropped both rings, causing quite a commotion and search for them in the middle of the ceremony! And afterward he refused to sit still and behave for pictures so they're all of him fighting with his mother and crying. Use the 5yr old!

i agree

use the 5 year old but you can still have the rest of the boys included

how about buying a cute 'here comes the bride' banner for the four of them to hold walking down the aisle?

like this?

I'd go with FH's 5 year old. Have the ringbearer part of the grooms side of things (so that would cut out your sides' boys) and the eldest so that no one is insulted, including his sister with the 3 year old twins. ???

I've cut out all the boys on my side thus far but kept the girls so tons of flowergirls.


This is tough! Good luck!
Edit: Oh I like the sign for the twins!!!

I would def go with the oldest but I would still have the other ones dressed in tuxs and walk down the aisle in front of the RB/FG. My FG is my daughter and my RB is my son but I have nieces and nephews that are all being included so that no one feels left out or mine or my grooms siblings get upset.

i'd go with the oldest, and have the other boys' stand with their mom or dad or family member to help hand out programs, bubbles, etc. I do really like that sign idea, too.
