Flower Girl Dilemma

Kja, on February 11, 2020 at 11:15 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

So we are working on asking family members to be a part of our wedding. There are quite a few young girls in the family who could do the job wonderfully! Out of them, there are a couple (C & L) we are closer with, but they will be in their aunt's wedding 8 months before us. I was unaware if they would be, so I asked their mom if they were in the wedding, stating we would love to have them in ours, but would understand if it was too much commitment.

She said they could be in our wedding too, but I am worried it may be too much for the family (multiple dresses). The rest of the family will be at Aunt's wedding as well and will see that C & L got to be in two weddings. Like I said there are a couple of other girls in the family we could use instead, but I don't know how to go about this now. Should I stick with C & L since I'm close to them, or switch out to other cousins (who I'm not not close to, lol, just not as close).

Another note is that on of our ring bearers is really close to some young cousins who could be flower girls; they all get along really well and could be a cute group.

Any advice would be appreciated. I just don't know where to go from here. Or how to address anything lol.

    I think since you already basically asked their mom for them to be in it, I’d stick with them.

    I would go with whoever you want as your flower girls. Flower girl dresses really don't have to be that expensive, and you could consider just letting them reuse the dresses from the first wedding or paying for them yourself if you're truly that concerned.

    Pick the two you know in your heart you want to be flower girls. Don’t let family guilt push you to pick people you wouldn’t care to have as a big part in your wedding.

    Thank you! I was worried about family drama with it. I need to just let go a little.
