Flower Girl yes or no?

Go without or have someone else do it. I don't know any little boys to be a ring bearer so my daughter will be a ring bearer.

Go without one. My H's niece was supposed to be our flower girl, but fell ill, and couldn't make it. I was so bummed. A few months later she was the FG for my BILs wedding, and while she was cute, I can say I am so glad she ended up not being my FG. She was a piece of work; pouting and angry faces when facing forward, and most of the photos she has her back to the camera throwing a fit. So yeah, FGs definitely aren't needed.

Go without. They are not necessary.

Go without. It's a nice way to include children you are close with but if you don't have anyone that fits that description there's no reason you must have one.

My FH and I aren't having any kids in the BP (no flower girls or ring bearers). We do have a few we could ask, but no one extremely close to us, so we just decided it's not worth the hassle. I don't want to have to worry about little kids trying to follow directions or even putting the extra costs associated on the parents or on us. I would say definitely don't look for someone if you don't have your heart set on having one. I feel like for me it is a bit of stress off of me to not have to worry about!

P.S. to what Nas said - I've seen a flower girl do the same thing, even doing twirls and jumps up at the front of the ceremony. It was really funny, but definitely took away attention from the bride and groom during their special moment, so that's something else to think about.

Oh no, it's not weird!! We have 4 little girls in our family and decided to save hurt feelings by going with ringbearer only... well 2 since they're 4 yr old twins!

Not weird at all! Most weddings I’ve been to haven’t had one. The only reason we are having a ring bearer and flower girl is because they are my niece & nephew.

I'm not having a flower girl for the same reason.

Not weird at all, I would actually think it was weirder if you had some random kid you weren't close with, in your wedding just to check off a box. We aren't having a flower girl or ring bearer. We don't know any little girls and while our best friends' son is adorable both parents are in our wedding party so we thought it might be difficult to include him.

Flower girls are not required. If you don't have one, you can just do without one.

Have the grandmas be the Flower Girls!

Thank you all for the advice! I think I’ll go without one! I really appreciate everyone’s input!

You dont have to have a flower girl or ring bearer at all! We are having neither. The Best Man will hold onto the rings for us. Even though we could have had one of our nieces and nephews do it, and I'm sure it would be absolutely adorable, we are not having any kids at the wedding.

We don't have a flower girl or ring bearer. The only kids we knew to do it aren't best behaved so we decided to skip it all together and save ourselves from the headache. We aren't having children at the wedding anyway.

I have the opposite problem. My mom's side of the family has a ton of little kids that my mom wants to be in the wedding. Honestly, they are not my favorite kids. They are not well behaved and too spoiled. We ended up asking my FH's groomsman if his daughter would like to be our flower girl. We don't know her super well, but we are excited to spoil her with little gifts and let her hang out with our dogs for the week because the family isn't wealthy like my mom's nieces and nephews.
