Little sister too old to be flower girl but too young to be bridesmaid....Any Ideas?

@futuremrslav A guestbook attendant greet guest as well as keep an eye out on your "card box". Guestbook attendant sounds better than Guarding of the money (said with a smile and a giggle).

I do think it depends on this young lady's personality as to what role she should play in the wedding.

Is she girly? Is she Shy?

Do whatever works and makes you ALL happy - flower girl, junior bridesmaid, bridesmaid. It doesn't matter in the end and you will be sisters for a lifetime. Our daughters 13 and 15 are our bridesmaids-ish, and our sons, 17, 15, and 10 are our 'groomsmen' - that is who we want involved and front and center to blend our family - no worries 2 vs 3, aesthetics, ages....we did what we wanted. Since they are all minors, my sister and FH friend will sign our license.

Do what you want, no stress, listen to your gut, talk with her, or your mom, etc! HAVE FUN!

When I was 11 I was the candlelighter in my aunt's wedding.

Why not a 11 year old flower girl who just walks down the aisle in a complementary color to the bridemaids before you come out? She doesn't have to wear a white dress, flow flowers, but she could have a flower wreath in her hair and just walk down holding some flowers?

ETA my 16 year old sister is a flower girl in my wedding, why don't you ask her what she wants to do?

I have a 13 year old sister that I am very close with. I faced a similar dilemma. I didn't like the idea of a jr bridesmaid. Does your sister have any talents? My sister plays piano and sings well. She will walk our dog (who is like our child) down the aisle right before I walk down. She'll hand Marley off to someone up front and then go sit at the piano. We have a CD for the whole bridal party, including my sister, to walk down to. Then she will sit down and play and sing a different song, the one I am walking down to. She's super happy with it and I am excited to walk down the aisle to a song my sister is playing.

My flower girl is 12 so I don't think 11 is too old for a flower girl. If you don't want a flower girl, thats a different story then.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I think I will make her a Jr. Bridesmaid and have her walk down the aisle alone in the opposite color scheme as my bridesmaids. She loves being the center of attention and will welcome the spotlight of walking alone haha. I also decided she will act as ring bearer and will be the one who will run notes and pre wedding gifts between my fiance and I

I am in a similar situation with my fiancé's two younger sisters (14 and 16). To make them feel included, I got them shirts, like I did my bridesmaids, but theirs said "bride's entourage" (it was the only wording available other than bridesmaid. I explained to them that the day of my wedding is going to be very hectic and that I will need a lot of help (ie. the guest book, creating table decorations, etc). They LOVED it and the idea of being apart of the wedding. I am going to have them wear dresses that are one of my colors that way they are still part of the wedding!

Junior bridesmaid. If you don't want her standing up front you could have her walk down the isle and then sit in the front row. You could also seat her with the parents and not at the head table.

My sister is 14, and I just asked her to be my junior MOH. My adult best friend is also my MOH and I don't actually expect anything at all from my sister. However, this was such an amazing experience, she was so genuinely happy and touched (bawled her eyes out!) and cannot wait. I'm having both of them walk down with the best man

My 10 yr old daughter is playing what is traditionally the flower girl role. However she isn't going to throw out flowers. I am creating a banner for her to carry that says "Here comes Mommy" you could do a similar idea that says "Here comes your Bride" or something if it fits into your theme. You could also do jr bridesmaid.

We are thinking of having my sister, who will be fourteen at the time of the wedding, carry a sign down the aisle.

Just make her a bridesmaid

My 12 year old cousin will be a Jr Bridesmaid. I went through the same issue didn't know where to place her and didn't care about a flower girl so I made her a junior bridesmaid.
