I need some feedback on what roles to have my nephew and my fiances nephew in our upcoming wedding...My nephew is 8 years old and my fiances nephew is 11 years old. It is very important for us to have them in the wedding. We already have two younger nephews as ring bearers but are looking on some feedback on how to incorporate the older ones?

Have you thought about maybe finding a nice poem or something and getting them to read that? One of my friends who just recently got married got her 12y/o brother to do that, it was so cute!

Why not just invite them as guests? The twelve year old would probably be happier with that.

While they may be a little too old for this, they could carry down one of the "Here Comes the Bride" signs that are frequently seen in pictures now. But as PP said, just being a guest is an honor. Just don't have them be guest book attendant or something crappy like that.

Ask them what, if anything, they'd like to do.

I doubt any kid that age would be on board with carrying a "Here Comes The Bride" sign. That's only borderline cute when small children do it. An older kid will probably think it's dumb.
