Title for a 9 YO's special role: flower girl, jr. bridesmaid, attendant, or ?

Mrs. F-u-..., on August 12, 2014 at 6:45 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14

FH's niece is 9 and has been a flower girl a few times before. I wanted to have her doing something but have more of a big-girl type role since she is 9. My niece is planned to be our flower girl (she may be too young to pull it off, but we're going for it anyway, lol).

We are having a rose ceremony so I thought maybe we could have FH's niece carry the two roses down the aisle and hold onto them until it is time for us to exchange them.

What title could I give her for the program? She is carrying flowers but they are for our rose ceremony, not to sprinkle. She's not quite a jr. bridesmaid. What is the best way to categorize her role? Is there a special title I could give her? I'm tired and my creative juices are not flowing right now. Any ideas?

    As one who had a dude of honor and a fluffer in my wedding, I say give her whatever title (traditional or made up) you want. For example, she could be a "rose bearer." It's the honor that counts, not the exact title.

    Oh I like rose bearer haha! I am having my cousin, who will be almost 9 at the time, by a jr bridesmaid. But you are right, her job is not a bridesmaid or a flower girl.

    Maybe just ask her? My 15 year old has her heart set on being the flower girl so fine by me

    Rose bearer pretty much nails the position!

    Should I have her wear the same color as the bridesmaids? I haven't decided what color the F will wear, but either navy or blush pink.

    My nine yr old niece is a jr. bridesmaid. She is very excited to "match" the dresses of the other BM's.

    I like Jr Bridesmaid and a matching dress for her... but a 9 yr old will give you their honest opinion on what they want... so I would ask her!

    I'd probably have her wear the same colors as the flower girl, unless that clashes with your BM dresses (considering she'll be standing up there with your bms until you're ready for the roses right)?

    I don't have much pink being used for the ceremony so we're thinking blush pink for the flower girl. I'll let FH's niece choose between matching the FG and the BMs.

    I've got an 8 & 10 yo in our party-we're calling them Jr Bridesmaids. They're so excited to match the girls and ride in the limo bus without their parents!
