Including 13 year old nieces

Theresa, on June 25, 2019 at 8:35 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 9

I don't know how to include my 13 year old nieces. Their two bothers are going to walk my mom down the aisle, but I don't know what my nieces can do. I don't want them to be junior bridesmaids, we're not doing a reading, and the only thing I can think of is them greeting people and handing out bubbles. I want them to do something more where they can walk down the aisle as well. Any suggestions?

    You could have them holding “here comes the bride” signs, help roll out the aisle runner if you’re having one, or just have them walk with family

    There really isn't anything more for walking down the aisle other than flower girls or jr. bridesmaids. I think greeting / handing out bubbles might be your best option. Could they maybe walk your grandparents down the aisle?

    Sadly, my grandparents aren't around anymore. My FH has one grandmother that I was planning on having walk with his parents, but I could ask if my nieces would be comfortable doing that. Thanks!

    Thank you for the ideas! I'll see if I can find a sign that would work Smiley smile

    A sign, walking grandmother, walk with each other would even be cute.

    You could also just have them walk down the aisle , with no formal title or designated role— remember your processional can be anything you want it to be! I didn’t include my brother or SIL in our bridal party but still wanted to honor them as family— so I had them walk down the aisle right before my bridesmaids!

    My nieces are 11 and 14 and they will be greeting people. It's the only thing I could think of to include them. Because we are already not having a huge bridal party.

    They were just fine with it. I also got them a little gift so they can feel more included.

    I would also suggest just having them walk down the aisle as part of the porcessional. Typically that would include parents, grandparents, siblings not part of the wedding party, but it could be anyone. Maybe let them be escorted down the aisle by the ushers (if you're having them), that might feel a litte more special.
