What role in the wedding can my younger step sister play/do?

Miranda, on July 22, 2019 at 2:36 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 8

I need help, I have a step sister, freshman high school age. I love her but my fiancé and I are trying to keep our groomsmen and bridesmaid numbers down. My dad & step mom keep pushing me to make her a bridesmaid I love her but I already have my bridesmaids. I suggested having her walk the flower girls down, since they'll be 2, but I don't want to offend her. Any suggestions for what role I can give her that won't offend her?

    I thought about it but we have 2 other people we want to do them. We have my fiancé's little cousins as flower girls, my little cousins as ring bears, and then my 2 sister-in-laws as readers. I might ask her if she'd rather walk with the flower girls (like she could wear a JR bridesmaid dress, i don't care bout that, or if she'd like to do a reading.

    -Thank you Smiley heart

    Maybe she can help fluff your dress before you walk down the aisle? At one of my dress appointments I brought my little sister (14) and family to see my dress for the 1st time and my little sister was so in love with my dress she wouldn’t allow my maid of honor to touch it or fix it because she wanted to do all of that. Just an idea she can also do a toast or make a speech, read a poem during the ceremony you should talk to her to see if there’s a task she would love

    What about just a junior bridesmaid? She can still escort the flower girls but gives her a nice title!

    Ahh haha that's sweet, I could see my sister wanting everything to do with the dress. I know she wants to be a bridesmaid, she made that clear from the day I got engaged, but I have my 3 best friends. I'll talk to her and see if maybe she minds having the title jr bridesmaid and one of her duties will be to help make sure the flower girls get down the aisle.

    Thank you!

    What about having her as your personal attendant for the day? She can fluff your dress, help you get ready, and be a general gopher when you need it. She can be the go-between you and anyone who has questions, needs help with something. It would make her feel important on the day, and in fact is an important role, especially if you don't have a DOC.

    Have you spoken with her about it? She may have an idea of what she would like.

    Could she hand out programs or attend to the gift table or guest book?
