How many Brides out there are using your children in your bridal party, especially step children?

My cousins and nephew are in mine! They are ages 3-10. We are having the ring bearer, flower girl and then jr bridesmaid and jr groomsman

I have two boys 6 and 4. FH has 4. 3 boys 9, 6, and 3 and a daughter 12. His daughter will be a JBM and his oldest son will stand with him. My two will walk me down the aisle then sit with my parents, his younger two will be ring bearers then sit with his aunt. I'm not having a flower girl. Other than that his has one friend standing with him and I have one standing with me. Super small bridal party, but this is a second wedding for both of us so we want to keep it simple, while still including the kids (we almost went to the courthouse, but I wanted to include the kids)

I have a 4 yr old daughter from a previous relationship. Her biological father was abusive and suffered with drug addiction. He has since gotten treatment. (He wasn't involved until my daughter 2.5 and he was clean) I met my FH when my daughter was 1. He is her daddy. He stepped up in every way and I honestly forget that he isn't her biological father sometimes! My daughter will be walking me down the aisle. FH is going to give her a necklace. Either a pearl necklace or a locket.

They aren't saying any vows or having any type of ceremony. We want to surprise her with the necklace.

Our son is going to be our ring bearer

My 3 stepchildren are in it as groomsmen (2) and a bridesmaid. My niece is a flower girl, one nephew ring bearer and one nephew will carry hand fasting cord.

My youngest son and J's youngest son were our witnesses. My older son and his wife carried and brought up our rings and did readings. My dil and son also gave toasts at the reception.

I have two, he has two. His son (14) and my son (9) will be standing beside him holding our rings and our letters for our ceremony, his daughter (12) and my daughter (7) will be standing beside me. All the kids are excited and have no problems with any of it

I have twins(18) and they walked me down the aisle and were groomsmen. My SD(20) walked her dad in and then was a BM. We did a sand ceremony with 5 different colors of sand and mixed then together. Our JP had a speech she gave about combining families.

Then our kids gave speeches at reception to welcome the other into the family.

We have 2 boys. Our oldest is "mine" from a previous relationship and he will be escorting our mum's down the aisle then co-mc'ing with my brother at the reception. He will then stand with the guys. He's 11 and our youngest (with fh) is 6 and will be our ring bearer. He has the option to stand with me or sit with grandparents.

We have chosen not to do a ceremony that binds as a family because we are one.

My FH's 10 year old daughter, my future stepdaughter, will be my junior bridesmaid. I love her and want her to be apart of the day with us. I think its totally normal to incorporate children into wedding parties.

My 14 year daughter will be my maid of honor. His 14 yer old daughter will be a bridesmaid. My 12 year old son will walk with me down the aisle and then stand with FH. We're hoping his one son will be able to make in in from Hawaii, where he is currently stationed, to be a groomsman as well. His other children won't be able to make it.

My daughter will be six and my future stepson will be four when we get married. My daughter will be flower girl and my future stepson will be ring bearer.

A couple of things we're doing to include the kids:

1. Music is very important to me and my daughter, we each have our own "theme songs." As a gift to my future husband and future stepson we are gifting them with a "family song" to be played after we are announced family (the song is "Try Everything" by Shakira and was picked by my daughter). The idea behind a "theme" or "family" song is a confidence booster. When my daughter or I are in good or bad moods and our "theme song" starts playing we both instantly feel (more) amazing, the goal of the family song will be to give FH and his son the same positive feelings.

2. After my future husband and I exchange wedding bands the kids will exchange toys (this was my daughter's idea).

3. We are doing a variation of a hand fasting with the kids. My daughter and I will pick out one color of ribbon, my future husband and his son will pick out a second color ribbon, and the four of us will pick out a third color ribbon together. We'll hold hands and then be "tied" together momentarily with the three ribbons. Afterwards we'll all have braided bracelets in the colors we chose.

4. I have entertained the idea of doing a "family kiss." After FH and I kiss, he'll kiss his son on the cheek, who will kiss my daughter on the cheek, who will kiss me on the cheek to complete the circle. I'm not sure how well this will work considering the fact that my future stepson claims he hates kisses. If not a family kiss we'll give a family hug, which we've done before.
