How many ring bearers is too many?

I have a bit of a dilemma. My 8 year old daughter is obviously going to be our flower girl. But I also have a nephew (4 years) and 2 little brothers (7 years and 3 years). FH has 4 nephews (9, 7, 5, and 4 years). I love each and every one of these boys and really don't know how to choose a ring...

So I guess my question is... is it too weird to have all 7 of them escorting my daughter down the aisle and maybe just have the oldest hold the rings? Not sure how to go about it lol

    Not sure how comical you are or how much practice time you will have however maybe the 3 youngest (3,4,4) can walk out first acting like there checking the scene making sure the coast is clear and when they get close to the front motion for the others as the coast is clear, then the 2 7 year old's come out each carrying one ring while the 2 that are left come behind them with shades on with signs around their necks or something similar that says Ring Security

    7 RB seems like a lot to me. How many BMs and GMs are you having? It just sounds like you will have a super large bridal party, which means more money and likely more stress. I would go with your two brothers. Or choose the two 4 year olds since they are the youngest.

    @capri I'm actually in love with that idea! I'm a very comical person (obviously, I'm considering 7 "ring bearers" lol) I have to run that idea by everyone

    IMO if you have to ask, then it's probably too many.

    I would just have your daughter and 2 brothers in the wedding. It's probably too much for kids otherwise.

    Use your nephew as a ring bearer

    7 seems like a lot of tiny humans to manage down the aisle. I'd be inclined to have just your daughter and brothers but the choice is up to you and FH.

    When my cousin got married he had his twin brother son as his ring bearer he wasn't even 1 yet so I pulled him in a wagon. If u want to use all of them I would suggest not having them all walk with the flower girl. Maybe have them walk with some of the bridesmaids or you could do like my cousin and have the groom's party walk in with the preacher and groom and let them tag along before your girls walk. or have them as little ushers before the wedding that way they feel included
