Ring logistics

?

Your officiant will instruct you.

There are lots of versions of this so if you think of something you like, mention it to him/her.

Usually the rb carries a facsimile of the rings.

Agree - just let the officiant help with this. But to answer your question, my plan is to just have BM holding both rings. Our RB is 3, so that's not gonna happen...

At ours we gave both rings to the Best man. I think the presentation of the ring bearer is good, with the empty box on the pillow. My son was our ring bearer and he barely made it down the aisle let alone would hold the rings well. So we felt it best to give it to the best man.

I gave them to the best man. Less stress over keeping up who has which ring and who gives to who. Our ring boy was 7 so he carried a empty box haha

Same as PP's! My RB had the tough job of looking cute!

Whatever you want.

Husbands best man held BOTH of our rings. We had a ring box that held two bands, so it was no big deal. As we said our vows the best man handed our rings to the officiant who read as he held them, then handed them to each of us.

I think I'll have him hold an empty box and just have best man hold both rings. Thanks!!

We're doing little boxes that the ring bearers can carry. The boxes will have the actual rings but the lids also clasp so there's not much risk of them losing them.

For the last wedding I was in, the RB took the pillow to the BM and he took the bride's ring. Then the RB brought me (MOH) the pillow and I took the groom's ring. We just held them until it was time for them to exchange.

Our plan is the best man and MOH will hold the rings.

@Andreya I really like your plan. My nephew is 8, so I definitely trust him to carry the rings, but I was worried about him standing there the whole time holding them.

You need to talk with your officiant, because the answer to your question depends on the design of your ceremony. On a related note, do you even want the ring bearer carrying the actual rings? A lot of people opt for ring bearers to carry fake rings because young child + small and expensive objects + slippy slidey pillow top = good chance of something bad happening.

My future step son will be almost 12 and we designated him Ring Master. He will be in charge of the ring warming and will give them to his father at the appropriate time.

At ours, our ring bearers just had a pillow. I hadn't decided what I wanted to do until the rehearsal when I gave the pillow to the ringbearer and he started using it as a Frisbee. So I just gave them to the BM and MOH who held onto them until it was the right time in the ceremony. Then I just had DH put the ring on top of my engagement ring. He was so nervous he put it on upside down. lol.

We actually have 4 rings (a set for work) that FH wants blessed during the ceremony. After getting my pictures with the gold ones taken on the "props" (different for each of us, we have 2 RB), I'll probably put the "spare" rings on them (tied with a ribbon) for them to walk down the aisle with. They will then hand them to BM and MOH and go sit with their parents. I don't see two 4 yr olds standing during the entire ceremony and completely behaving, so I'm not even going to expect it.

I think we'll charge the Best Man with this duty. Picked up one of those little macarons from an Etsy shop which should be a good pocket size - just hope it doesn't get lost!

Our best man will hold the real rings- our RB will carry a box. Haven't decided yet if it will be empty, or have our 'travel' rings in it.

I don't have a ring bearer and I think the best man will carry both rings. Although I really want to carry my own ring, is that bad? I'm so scared it will get lost.

I didn't think about a ring box to put inside the best man's pocket but now I think I need one. I've been worrying about them sitting loose in the pocket of a rented tux. I kind of like that macaron that you have @Mrs.T.
