No Flower Girl or Ring Bearer?

Brooke, on May 14, 2019 at 11:25 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 16
So I am thinking about not having a flower girl or a ring bearer, as most of my extended family and friend's kids are either too young or too old. Is anyone else not having a flower girl or a ring bearer? If so, are you doing anything different?

    No flower girl or ring bearer for me. We are having 0 kids at our wedding. Plus, I wasn’t going to risk a meltdown temper tantrum in the middle of my ceremony. I’m not replacing it with anything. Will just have a professional with my bridesmaids followed by my entrance.

    We aren't having one either.. Not sure what we'll do if anything. I wish we had one of our grandmother's to be a flower girl like I've seen but unfortunately our grandparents are no longer alive Smiley sad

    We are having a kid free wedding. We don't have a flower girl or ring bearer and are not replacing it. I have see people ask their grandmothers to throw flower petals though.

    We're not having a flower girl, and we're not technically having a ring bearer either. We're hoping to have our dog act as our ring bearer instead! We didn't see much point in asking people in our family that we aren't that close with to have their children in our wedding.

    We would love to have our dogs be the ring bearers, however there is no way they would be able to do that with all the guest we will be having haha.

    We did not have either. I wanted to have our dogs do it but ummm they would either be super friendly and climb on everyone or would bark insanely at anyone that came close to us! I didn't feel that anything was missing.

    I'm not having any because I don't want children there for my wedding. We just are having the best man carry the rings.

    I've been to, or been a part of, weddings that didn't have kids and it wasn't a big deal.

    I had asked my friend for her daughter to be flower girl, but now we are not having a church wedding and are scrambling to find a new ceremony space. I asked her to hold off on any flower girl things, since we are revamping the entire ceremony idea.

    I would still like to have at least one kiddo in the wedding party, but things are super in flux right now and I don't know what's going to happen.

    We are having a kid friendly wedding.

    I've been to a wedding where the couple's grandmas were the flower girls.
