    I don't think there's an age limit, but 10 years old is definitely not too old IMO!

    Some will say yes and some will say no, however it is your wedding. Honestly do what you want. We will not have any young females in my family by the time of my wedding however I always promised my daughter, and my nieces' they would have a role in it. By 2020 my daughter and neice will be 11 and my other neice 12, if I want them to walk down the aisle dropping flowers, which I doubt I will lol, that's what I'm going to do. It's your wedding.

    Correction, I mean VERY YOUNG like single digits, because 11 and 12 is still young. Lol.

    Ask your sister if she rather be a flower girl or a bridesmaid. She'll let you know 8f she thinks she's too old to he a flower girl. As far as the baby goes, I'd advise not having her walk down the aisle, that too much pressure on a little one. Get her a pretty dress and take lots of pictures.

    FWIW, my eldest was 18 months old when I got married. She wasn't at the wedding, she spent the day playing and napping with a sitter. We did get a pretty dress and take pictures with her at a nearby park, but the rest of the day she spent being spoiled

    This is fine, there is no rule or age limit that says she cannot do this

    If it makes you feel any better in your decision, my two flower girls are 12 years old. 10 is not too old at all!

    She'll have no direct memory of the day. Some great pictures will be great to have after though. Save yourself the stress of a (potentially) cranky little one, find a sitter for most of the day. You'll have enough on your mind

    My niece is 10 and I thought she was too old to be a flower girl so she is Junior Bridesmaid!

    My daughter will be 11 when our wedding rolls around, so I asked her if she wanted to be a flower girl or bridesmaid. She chose bridesmaid. You can always ask your sister 😊

    There really isn't an age limit, just what the chosen person prefers. There have been grandmothers who were flower girls! I had 3 flower girls and their ages were 11, 9, and 7. I thought they were all adorable.
