Ask a Question
Are you a mom?
What role will your children have in the wedding?


I have 2 kids and a step-daughter. My step-daughter will be our flower girl and my son will be our ring bearer. However, I wanted my oldest daughter who will be 10 to be something more than just a junior bridesmaid. Is there such a thing as a "Junior Maid of Honor"? if not, I think I will make that up. I do have 2 other junior bridesmaids and I will have them walk with the bridesmaids but I want my daughter to enter right before me, like a maid of honor would if there were no children in the wedding. Can I do this?
What role will your children have in the wedding? Is it okay to make up a role that doesn't exist? My daughter is so much more to me than a junior bridesmaid, and if she was older I would have made her my maid of honor.

I ALSO HAVE A DAUGHTER (AGE 11) SHE WANTS SO BAD TO STAND OUT LIKE ME. I MADE HER A JR. BRIDESMAID AND I SEE THE DISAPPOINT MENT IN HER FACE. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO MAKE HER STAND OUT. MY SON IS THE JR. GROOM (HAD TO PUT HIM SOME WHERE...LOL). SHE IS AS TALL AS ME AND MY MOH. JUST DON'T KNOW, I'M PUZZLED IN THE SAME AREA...LOL. GOOD LUCK.

I have two boys (5 and 3) and they are going to be the ring bearers. Our flower girl is going to be our MOH & Best Man's little girl(Also 5 and our oldest's future wife ;0D ) One thing we were thinking of instead of having two ring pillows is having one ring pillow and one pewter ring for the other to carry that says something like an unbroken and never ending circle symbolizes a commitment of love that is neverending. As for Alani... she'll either have a basket or a pomander

NOLANU, my daughter actually wanted to wear a veil and tiara, so I know what you mean. And when I was talking about our favors, I showed her an example and said, "this will have our names on it" and she said, "my real name or my nick name?" and I said, "no hunny, just ours because it's our wedding" and I felt so bad.
KELLYJAXN, I love the idea of the pewter ring. I love love love that idea. I have never seen that before but I think everyone will get the meaning behind it.

I think you can have your kids play whatever role you want them to. I know somo people incorporate the family into the sand ceremony. Or they take time to acknowledge a child letting them know that they are very important and will always remain so (if any child is a little apprehensive with having a "new" parent) they would do this I saw on one programme by presenting the child with a locket to remind her of how much she meant to them which was lovely and really touched the child as she didnt expect it.

I have 2 girls one of which will become a step daughter to my FH. Our daughter is 14 months and will be 17 months at the time of the wedding. She will be too young to remember anything but they will both be flower girls. They are wearing matching dresses and wings! My eldest daughter is going to carry a "here comes the bride" sign (normally for ring bearers - dont have any!) as this is our little secret and she is very excited about it. We are also having a destination wedding and will be staying in Mexico for 2 wks with everyone so it is going to be a trip of a lifetime for us all. Cant wait (but still nervous at the same time)

I think that is a great idea. My son is walking me down the isle and we are only have my daughters before him. I felt the same way for my son I wanted him to have a better role. I would think that you could have her as your maid of houner just get one of your bridesmaids to sign instead of her. We aren't having anyone execpt for the kids with us and our mothers are signing for him and I. It is your wedding do what you want!
