3 Flower girls too many?

Charelle, on January 6, 2018 at 3:08 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 18

I'm going out on a limb by asking this....This is my first question on the site/app, so please BE NICE.Smiley smile

Would 3 Flower girls be too many? They are ALL the same age (6-7yrs) and all dear sweet cousins of both my FH and I (two from my side, one from his). My only other thought is to make one a BELL RINGER to announce my arrival coming down the aisle, but those seem to be looked at as weird roles in the typical wedding ceremony today.

(Just a yes or no, and a quick positively stated reason why or why not would be most helpful) THANKS Smiley smile

    You really can have as many flower girls as you want, and if they’re all important to you then go right ahead! Just make sure you treat them all equally and realize that it could be an extra expense for the parents getting them to the wedding if they weren’t originally planning on having them attend, that you are factoring in cost of outfits, hair, makeup, baskets, petals, signs, bells, whatever you’re thinking.

    I think 3 is great! Just because of how little kids act, I think having the three of them share the same responsibility is better than giving one a different task. You don't want one girl acting up because she thinks ringing the bell is better than flowers. Kids love fairness!

    I'm having 2 flower girls, and I don't think 3 is too many. It's your wedding you should be able to do what you want.

    I had 3 flower girls and a ring bearer. The ring bearer didn't actually carry the rings, but rather, a sign that said "Here Comes the Bride"

    3 Flower girls too many? 1

    Absolutely! I had 5 at my first wedding because I had too many little cousins that would have hurt feelings (consequences of living in a big Mormon family). Everyone thought they were so adorable!

    A gentle suggestion would be to avoid saying things like "be nice" and "positively stated reason". They can come across as telling others how to post. In the most positive way, I'm saying that people could get turned off when they see that.

    I think three flower girls is fine.

    I have three! It's definitely not too many.
    They are my two youngest nieces, 4 and 5, each from a different brother, and Fh's only niece who is 5. We can't wait to have all three of them in our wedding.

    I'm a teacher by trade, and I like to give instructions. Plus I have seen how cruel and down right mean people could be on these message board. I'm 180 days away from the BIG DAY, and trying to do the best that I can here to remain as positive as possible....but thanks for the "gentle suggestion"... Smiley smile
