Hi friends, Is a 6 year old too old for a flower girl? I informally asked a relative to have her daughter be our flower girl immediately after getting engaged without really thinking about it. Then my mom mentioned she might be too old by the time we get married. She'll turn 6 two months before we wed. How old is too old?

    One of mine is 7. The other two will be close to 4 by the wedding. I'm a little nervous about them, but the older girl can hopefully reel them in! One of the 4 year olds is her sister and she wants to copy everything she does. Hoping they cooperate!

    Not at all! I was 8 years old when I was a flower girl in my aunt's wedding. I wore my holy communion dress.

    That's pretty much the bull's eye age for flower girl/ring bearer. Old enough to enjoy it and remember the experience; not too old to think it's lame.

    I was a flower girl at age 8 so I'd say no.

    6 is perfect! Any younger and she probably won't remember it, this way it is something she will always remember!

    Anyone under the age of 11 or 12 is perfect for a flower girl. Up until the last 10-15 years, a 6-year-old would have been considered too young. The toddler flower girls are a fairly new thing.
