What can I have my step son do in the wedding?

I think that being an usher is an awesome job. Not only are they seating people but if your venue has a door to the ceremony, he gets to be the one that holds it for you as you make your grand entrance!!

My 2 boys (ages 10 and 13) loved being ushers and the only thing that they said negative was that they didnt get "team Groom" bracelets like the bridal party had. lol

We are having my FH's 12 year old nephew light the candles for the unity candle and read a poem.

if you arent doing unity candle, you can have him read a poem after the officiants opening. ive seen that at a lot of weddings.

I definitely think being an usher is a great job. My soon to be nephew(my FH's nephew who is bit younger, he'll be 11 by the time the wedding comes around) is going to be an usher at the wedding. He will also be walking mine and FH's daugter(who will be 21 months by wedding)down the aisle.

I would ask him if he wants to be in the wedding and if so then what he may like to do. My FI and I did that with my son and my son decided he wanted to "pass" me to his future stepfather as a sign of his accepting the marriage. I thought this was very sweet. Maybe your stepson could give you ideas of what he is comfortable doing?

I think an usher would be a good job. I don't know what kind of ceremony you are having; but have you considered having him doing a reading for your ceremony. Also, I went to my FH cousin's wedding last year. She has a son and the man she married did not. They did the knot tying ceremony (I think that is what it is called, the one where they tie the fabric around your hands). Her son went up to the altar for this and all three of them had their hands tied together to signify that they were all becoming a family. Again, don't know the whole situation or what type of ceremony; but just some suggestions. Good luck!

Theres nothing wrong with him being a groomsman or even the best man... My 16 yr old son and 19 yr old stepson will be our groomsmen

My 9 yr old was a Jr groomsman and that was DH's choice because he knew how much it meant to me. Why doesn't he dad want him as a Jr groomsman by his own choice? I think if you knocked him down to usher, he may be offended. I know that if my dad did that to my brother, he'd be very hurt.

You all are awesome! Thanks for the ideas. I will ask him first to make sure he even wants to be in the wedding. FH and I have 2 boys a 4 and 5 year old and they are carrying the rings down, so he can accompany them he loves his little brothers and being the usher would be great job since you all put it that way.. Thanks so much !

I would say be a groomsman at least especially if he happy your marrying his dad. My 12 year old is walking me down the aisle, My 14 year nephew and him will be ushers at the beginning of the ceremony and Nephew will walk my daughter who is a bridesmaid down the aisle.

My FH wanted him to be a groomsmen but we just didnt know how the whole process worked, if he was too young or what not, but now that you all bring up jr groomsmen we would definately be open to that if he wanted to. So I will ask him what he wants to do in the wedding. I just want him in it lol Thanks!

We are having all the kids in the wedding party My best friend is my matron of honor my 17yr old daughter is my maid of honor 15 yr old (I have guardianship of) and my well be 13 yr old step daughter and my 13yr old niece (it's her birthday) will be my bridesmaids my 15yr old son is one of the groomsmen. We want the kids to understand it is just as much their day as it is ours. We are doing a twist on the sand ceremony all 6 of us will pour the sand in to the larger vase and then it will be sealed with the wax from the unity candle that FH and I will light.

My 17 year old and my 10 year old sons are my FH's groomsmen, and His 17 year old daughter is my Bridesmaid.

My dauthers are my MOH and his son's are his Bestmen.

all of our grandbabies are the FG's and RB's.
