Junior Bridesmaids or attendants?

I THINK SO!

You say they are a handful, in what way? If they really are very difficult are you certain you want to give them responsibility in the wedding? Handing out programs sounds like a good job for a child but I think I would need to better understand what about them you are worried about before I can really address the question.

If you would like to include them, have the be jr bridesmaids. Those other "jobs" aren't really exciting, and don't need to be an official job.

You say you want to involve them, but you don't want to give them anything more than small tasks. Just let them attend as guests. I know at 13/14 I'd have been pissed that you had me doing some "job".

Just have them be guests. Sure they can hand out programs,but I"d avoid anything that requires more involvement from you that teling them when to show up and telling them what to do.

They just talk about and try to take all the attention. When I'm hanging out getting ready I don't want to have to entertain them haha I think they would really want to be included. They would probably be hurt if they weren't. I really think they would be really proud to do any job. I just don't know what to do.

Idk, still voting for guests. They're teenagers. Let them not worry about having to do anything. And you not worry about them doing it.

My cousin and I did that a lot from ages 10-14. We handed out programs, were candle lighters, were personal attendants, and were junior bridesmaids.

I would honestly either have them be junior bridesmaids or guests.

The only thing with junior bridesmaids is I'm not sure their parents would want to commit to buying a dress and I (am vain) and don't want my FH and I's parties to be uneven for pictures.
