Flower girl age

Mine will be a month from 3 and I almost feel like that's pushing it.

View Quoted Comment Omg really? I’m so nervous...as soon as we got engaged she said she “had the perfect flower girl.” I couldn’t say no but now I’m having anxiety that she is just too young

My niece will be one month short of two and I haven’t worried about it at all. If she cries, oh well! It’s something I can hold over her head when she gets older 😉 But my sister (her mom) is going to help her and we aren’t having her throw flowers because that’s too many things for her to remember!

My niece is 15 months and she will be one of my flower girls. We're having her walk with my other niece who's 8 as the other flower girl so she has a hand to hold and her mom is a bridesmaid so she'll be down at the end of the aisle waiting for her which should help her get down there

My flower girl had just turned two - but her mother was one of my bridesmaids so if there'd been an issue she could have easily walked down with her. As it was, she walked down with her brother, who was a page boy, and behaved beautifully! She's an independent little thing though and has been since day 1.

As long as you have someone there to guide her down you should be fine. Another solution is to have 2 flower girls one a little older to walk the younger one down with her.

I think she should be ok, I was a MOH in a wedding where the flower girls while under hoop part of her dress fell off her as she walked down the aisle & everyone just kinda giggled until I could pick her up & fix her lol I think little kids bring the awwwws or laughs in otherwise serious ceremonies. I would have another to help walk her down & that way if she decides during rehearsals that she doesn’t want to do it you have backup (that happened to the ring bearer)

Kids are always risky. I was a flower girl at 4 maybe... practiced and practiced and was really excited (or so I’m told) and I screamed and cried the moment I was to walk down the aisle.
If she is your kid, she may be really happy to see dad at the end of the aisle. Otherwise maybe have mom and dad sit towards the end of the aisle so she can see them.

I don’t think there’s any right age. I’ve seen a woman who was in her 80s as a flower girl.

Honestly, I'm more worried about FH's 8 YO nephew than I am my 3 YO nephew lol. We are have the 3 YO walk down with his 8 YO brother and FH's 8 YO nephew. I would say to have her mom sit toward the front on the end so she can spring into action in case of a melt down without having to climb over people to get out. I wouldn't be worried about it though, I feel like when that kind of stuff does happen everyone just thinks it's adorable and laugh about it when reminiscing

My nephew will be 18 months when he will be our only ring bearer. My sister (his mother) is one of my MOH and will the last bridesmaid to go down the aisle so most likely he will hold hands with her.

It's always risky when kids are involved, despite their age. My 5 year old and almost 2 year old are our flower girls. I'm fully predicting the almost 2 year old to cry, but it is what it is. If she does, I'll just instruct my mom to run down the aisle and grab her lol.

My niece just turned one and she’s going to be our flower girl & walk down with my mom. I’m planning on just having her be carried if she starts to get upset (both her parents are in the wedding party so I’m hoping she’ll see them at the end of the aisle and just walk to them 🤞🏼) I’m also planning on packing her and my son (ring bearer) a goodie bag with snacks and stuff so they can munch on them during the ceremony.

That seems a little young, but honestly any kid could have a meltdown.
The girls I'm asking will be 1 month short of 3.
The boys I plan to ask will be 4.5 & 6.5. Either of them may just choose to have a meltdown at any moment.
It is what it is. 🤷‍♀️

My FH's niece is our flower girl. She just turned 3 and we're pretty much just playing it by ear to see if she will walk down that day. If she doesn't we'll at least have cute pictures of her with her flower girl stuff
