Flower Girl Help!!

Alexandra, on September 26, 2019 at 2:53 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 4
I’m really struggling on my flower girl situation.
Short story- I run a daycare, one of the little girls I have is one of my friends kids. I’ve had her her whole life ( she’s about to be 3) the mother and I used to be very close I planned her whole wedding and was in her wedding. We’ve drifted apart, I still want her daughter to be there with me but I’m also nervous that her mom will be upset or petty about the fact that we didn’t ask her.
Another little girl I watch I would like to ask too. My fiancé and I hang out with her moms and we call them our friends. I mentioned something this morning about how I was going to ask their daughter and how it was in PA her mom seemed very thrown off by it. My sister also brought up the fact that the one mom has horrible anxiety and she will most likely be freaking out all day about the daughter being difficult( which is fine with me, she’s a kid, she’ll be two when our wedding comes around, I wouldn’t expect anything less. )

I’ll have two ring bearers, my godbabies. I just don’t know what to do about the flower girls. I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do. Any advice or help will be appreciated !

    Just ask. All they can do is say no. If the first mom is uncomfortable because she's not in the wedding, she can say no. If the other moms are uncomfortable with their child being in the wedding, they can say no. It doesn't hurt to ask.

    I guess I could. I never thought to ask before because I feel like when you ask it’s an automatic “ yes of course we want to do it “

    Hey there Alexandra! I would agree with Caytlyn, there is no harm in asking. If they’re not comfortable having their girls involved with the wedding, they will simply say no.

    At my engagement party I will be proposing to my bridal party, I will not be proposing to any flower girls. I figure if I want to do it I can wait a little longer but I know that it’s not something I need to worry about now. My wedding is next September so I have some time lol
