How to incorporate my 7 yo cousin in the wedding?

Shelby, on March 7, 2020 at 10:37 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15
Hey all! I have two cousins that I would love to be included in my wedding. The girl (10) is going to be my junior bridesmaid. But I’m having a tough time figuring out where to put her brother! He is 7 years old, which is too old for a ring bear, but too young for a groomsmen. Do y’all have any suggestions? I really want him to be included so that he doesn’t feel left out! Smiley heart

    He can be a jr. groomsman or assist the ring bearer down the aisle if he’s very small.

    7 isn’t too old to be a ring bearer at all. Most weddings I’ve gone to the ring bearer has been between 5-9.

    He is not too old for a ring bearer. He is finally at an age where he would understand what he is doing, and follow directions. Younger ones are usually chosen only for cute.

    He can also be a page, a young assistant to the bride who helps with a long train or veil to keep it from dragging up and down church steps or going out to a ceremony area in an outdoor setting. Or a page ( think young assistant to the royal court, not a much used term) can give out programs, or take the bride's bouquet and place it on a stand while bride does vows and ring stuff, I stead of a MOH holding 2 bouquets .

    I think he can be a ring bearer! My niece will be 8 and my flower girl. Or maybe he can hand our programs or help greet guests if he isn’t shy?

    I think 7 years old is a fine age for a ring bearer.

    He could help escort women down the isle of you already have a ring bearer. I think that would be super cute!

    He could be in charge of the guest book or an usher if you’re dead set against using him as a junior groomsman or ring bearer. He could also do a reading or prayer, but he may be a little young for that.

    I think 7 years old is a perfect age for a ring bearer.

    Girl, he can be a ring bearer. It’s your wedding , your rules . If he was like 30.. honestly it doesn’t matter . Weddings are modern now and we’ve all bended some rules and made our weddings our own. Plus you don’t want a ring bearer too young , I always worry about them missing the ring or dropping it lol 😂

    My 2 Year Old Son Is Going To Be Our Ring Bearer, He'll Be Almost 3 By Then. And Will Be Walking Down The Aisle With The Flower Girl Who Will Be A Year And 4 Months Old So That He Can Assist Her. I Don't Think Age Matters Honestly When It Comes To A Role.
