No Ring Bearer????

My FH and I don't have any young boys in our family to be the ring bearer so we were going to ask our close friends if their 3 year old would like to be a part of our wedding (his mother and father are both in the wedding).

Well last night I was visiting with my maid of honor and her daughter, the daughter is my junior bridesmaid and very close to my heart. The JB was telling me how excited she is to be in the wedding and how she tells everyone she it the 4th most important person in the wedding. First me, then the groom, then her mom(MOH) then HER! It was adorable and I started thinking what if we just nixed the ring bearer and gave her the responsibility of the rings?

I know its my wedding and I can do what I want but I would like opinions because I don't want to look back in a few years and regret it.

We aren't having a ring bearer. If FH wasn't giving the rings to one of the best men, we'd give it to our adorable FG. They would feel so special.

Thats not a bad idea. Yes u guys should let her do it. or U can have the Best man hold your ring and the MOH hold FH ring. all of your options are good.

I didn't have a ring bearer and I think it would be so special to the JB. I vote let her do it! Not to mention the 3 year old won't know the difference and parents will prob be relieved they don't have to get another outfit

That's a sweet idea and it would make her feel even more special. We're not having a ring bearer so BM will have the rings.

You definately dont need a ring bearer. Especially thats someone youre using to just fill the position.

Were not having a FG, just a ring bearer, but he is our son. And there is no way i spent 2k on wedding bands to let him be responsible for them. They will be in the pocket of my dress or with the BM.

We aren't having a RB or FG at all. Our kids are both 7, so they will be our JB and junior best man We plan on giving the rings to our son and he is SOOO proud and excited.

We aren't having a ring bearer or flower girl either.

I have actually never been to wedding with a ring bearer. No one will miss them.

I am not sticking to the traditional little boy ring bearer. I have never been married but I have a son from a previous relationship. My only child and he is 18. He is my ring bearer. I couldn't imagine it any other way. I say you go with what your heart tells you not what people expect. The beauty of YOUR wedding is that YOU are the writer of your dream wedding and you can have it any way you like Good luck!

Ring bearers, if perfect, make for good ooh and ahh moments, but depending on their age, you're on pins and needles wondering how they are going to perform (and if they act up, it's horrible). If you don't have one, nobody will care.

I think it's a great idea to have her do it. Personally, I'm not having a ring bearer at all.

If you trust her go for it! weʻre not dead-set on a ring bearer either and if our FG is as cute as yours, we just might give it to her

I think it would be cute, go for it. Then let her know how much more important her job is, she'll love it.
I've got 6 yr old twin boys I'm hoping will cooperate and participate, and a 3 yr old daughter for my flower girl. They will all probably decide they don't want to play along, so I will probably not have a flower girl or ring bearer haha
