Where should I place my daughter in my wedding?

I'm getting married next May and plan to have both of my children in my wedding. My son will be almost 5 at the time and my daughter will be 10. Should I have them be the the flower girl and ring bearer? I think my daughter is too young to be a bridesmaid, but thought maybe too old to be a flower girl. Any suggestions? Is there a role more special that I could have them be a part of??

it would be lovely to have your son and daughter both walk down he aisle together as ring bearers....she is not too old
Reply:She is not too old to be flower girl at all, and your son should be the ring bearer.

It's just that some people have really young girls be flower girls... so then others think a 10 year old is too old... when she is not.
Reply:Make her a junior bridesmaid. She's too old for a flower girl. Your son is a good age for a ring bearer.
Reply:I think having her be a flower girl would be fine, however if you want to do something different, she could be a miniature bride. Put her in a white flower girl dress, and have her carry a basket of flowers, but don't throw them. Keep your son as the ring bearer.



edit: Thumbs down? Hmm, I guess being a flower girl at 10 is just too touchy a subject...sorry I contributed.
Reply:Your daughter is old enough to be a bridesmaid, but being a junior bridesmaid would make her feel very special. Perhaps you could allow her and your son to participate in a special part of the service to swear your devotions to one another as a new family unit. The children will never forget the honor and it would solidify your new family unit. Have a wonderful wedding. And a wonderful marriage.
Reply:you can still make her your bridesmaids or a Jr. bridesmaid. She may not do all of the stuff a bridesmaid does but has a nice dress and still stand next to you. Please do not make her a flower girl i was one at 11 and i am still in threaphy
Reply:Ask her! Maybe she really wants to be the flower girl, maybe not.

I think a jr. bridesmaid is a really cute idea :)

At 10, she's getting excited about your wedding too, and asking her what she thinks would mean a lot to her...

Good luck!
Reply:she could be a junior bridesmaid
Reply:she can totally be a jr bridesmaid.. when my mom remarried i was 13 and was her maid of honor..



the only more special thing could be to make them a part of your wedding vows.. my cousin did this when he married a woman who already had a child.. there was a part of the vows where she joined them and they all promised to be committed to being a family together and he vowed to be there for her as a a father.. it was a big cryfest..
Reply:She would be fine a sa bridesmaid...I was my mom's MOH ( along with my aunt!) and taht was special for us!
Reply:She can be a bridesmaid she isnt too young and she can be a flower girl.

Its yourr wedding what you say goes.
Reply:personally, i'd have her be a jr bridesmaid and your son walk you down the aisle with your dad :)



just an idea
Reply:My SIL is getting married in Sept. and her 10 year old daughter is going to be a jr. bridesmaid with a jr. groomsman to usher her down the isle. It is nice that she will be apart of the ceremony and not have to sit in the pew and watch. She is very excited. she is getting a dress just like the bridesmaids.
Reply:I don't think she's too young to be a bridesmaid but definitely too old for a flower girl
Reply:I personally don't think 10 is too old for a flower girl but a JR. bridesmaid would be suitable as well. There are also many other places she could take part in at the wedding. She could pass out bubble sticks to all the guest, I have heard of people having a guest book attendant. They just asks the guests as they arrive to sign the book. She could pass out programs.

I think having your son as the ring bearer is perfect. Still so cute at that age but can usually get the job done without somebody pushing him up the aisle!
Reply:At 10 she can be a junior bridesmaid.
Reply:Here goes. Though ten is a bit old to be a flower girl, it depends on the child. If she is quite petite, it should be no problem, but at 10 my daughter was quite tall, so much that at nine she was a junior bridesmaid in my sister's wedding. Your son will be the right age to be ring bearer. Have you thought of making your daughter your maid of honor, even though she's quite young, it would be an honor for her. The dress deal I know would be difficult since you'd have to find something age appropriate that blended with the others but the effort might be worth it. She is rapidly approaching "that awkward age" and with a new marriage happening it might be just the thing to keep the two of close and would be a very special role for her.
