Don't know any children what do we do about flower girl/ring bearer?

Stephanie, on May 11, 2017 at 2:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 26

FH and I don't know anyone with kids appropriate age to be our flower girl or ring bearer. We don't want to incorporate animals into the wedding. Is there anyone out there who isn't having a flower girl/ring bearer? Or any alternative ideas that don't involve animals? Thank you!

    Don't have them? Have the best man carry the rings.

    You don't need either. But if you're willing, I have a couple ring bearer aged grandsons that I could rent you for the day!

    If you want, you can have some friends/relatives acting as FGs.

    One of my friends had 2 of her friends wear a different dress than the BMs and threw petals. All in their 20s

    Skip them. Your BM or your moms can bring the rings forward.

    We are not having them. All the weddings I've been to, the best man holds on to the rings anyways. The ring bearers usually just have a fancy pillow maybe with fake rings. I wouldn't trust a preschooler to actually hold on to them.

    Same here, I am not going to have them. MOH or BM can carry them, or have someone just give them to the officiant before the ceremony starts.

    This is great! Thank you! I think we will just opt out of having a flower girl and ring bearer. It saves us the headache. I didn't realize it was such a popular thing to not have them. This was my first official post on here and you guys were a huge help!

    Don't need them. However I love the idea of flower grandmas.

    We're not having either. I feel like a lot of people are moving away from flower girls as a prerequisite and only incorporating children they're genuinely close with, which IMO is how it should be.
