When to ask Flower Girls and Ring Bearers and Guest Book Attendants

I've got my bridesmaids asked, and I allowed one til June to decide. (She is currently working in a different country.)

I have one guest book attendant, but I think a second one would be a good idea post ceremony when they pass out confetti to throw. Should I ask ahead of time, or wait til I know the girl I want to ask is coming?

When should I talk to the parents of my potential ring bearers and flower girls?
Potential ring bearers are sons of my MOH. And I'm allowing her the opportunity to decline. (I mean, anybody can decline, but I'm going to be upfront about it.) Because I want my bridesmaids on the party bus to be in photos after the ceremony. And their husbands/dates are welcome on the bus too.

My potential flower girls just turned 2, they'll be a couple weeks shy of 3 at the wedding. They belong to my mom's cousin, who happens to be my age. And I know she is already planning on coming. But when should I ask about her daughters being flower girls.

You're less than a year out so I think you can really ask whenever you want and are comfortable. You definitely don't have to do it yet if you don't want to because you do still have a lot of time, but if you are ready now then I definitely think you can.

With being less than a year out I would say for sure think about talking to the ring bearer and flower girl parents soon. Especially if their parents are a part of the wedding party. That's just another finance you want them to be aware of soon. Most likely they won't get their attire until much closer because they are still at an age where they grow a lot from a month to month basis but still, if you are confident you want them, I would ask! As for the guestbook or ushers, or any of those extras, you probably have some time with them!

Hi Mandi!
I would definitely echo the responses from the previous posters!
It would make sense to ask the ring bearers and flowers girls parents as soon as you can so they can factor in all the costs into their planning if they are also in the wedding party.
How many flower girls and ring bearers will you have?
