Family/wedding party

Hi. I am seeking ideas. So, between my fiancé and I, we have 5 kids. Along with a few other on both sides of the wedding party, we want the kids in the wedding. We have 2 15yr old boys, 2 13rd old girls, and my youngest boy, who will be 8yrs old at the time of wedding. Obviously the older ones are going to be brides maids and grooms men. I was going to have my youngest be the ring barer, but now I think hes too old and too big for that role. So what role could I give him? Other than the flower girls, there is really no one else to walk down the isle with him.

    8 is fine for a ring bearer if you want him to be one-- it's your wedding!

    8 isn't too old. Have you asked him about it? My fiancé and I have 6 kids between us and I'm even having my 13 yr old be a flower girl. Originally she was going to be a bridesmaid but then she made a comment on how she thought she'd be the flower girl so I went with it. My 2 youngest sons are both going to be ring bearers, they'll be 7 and 8 at the time of the wedding. I like that they're older because to me, I feel like there's less of a chance of something going wrong-having a fit, a meltdown, missing nap time that day, late nap time, gets too shy, etc.

    My FH and I have 2 kids. Our son will be 9 at the time of the wedding and he will be our ring bearer. Our daughter will be almost 3 and will be our flower girl. Maybe come up with a unique(i.e. cooler) way for him to hold the rings??
