No Flower Girl and Ring Bearer?

Kdwhitley81

Good Afternoon Friends! I think we have decided to NOT have a ring bearer and flower girl. Has anyone done this? I have two sisters with 9 kids between them but only a handful are young enough to be ring bearer or flower girl and they belong to my younger sister. I don't really want any of my nieces / nephews to feel left out and don't want to have to obligate anyone into bringing their kids. So I think we just decided not to have any. My son will be walking me down the aisle (he will be 14 by then) and we have 6 BM's and GM on each side. On the note of my son walking me down the aisle....should I do anything to acknowledge my Dad's in any way? I don't want them to feel left out either. Oh it gets tricky trying to make everyone happy.

I did not have a flower girl or ring bearer and I don't think anyone missed them.  This was my second wedding as well and I didn't see the need for them, especially since we were having an adults-only reception.

I chose to walk down the aisle by myself but I did have my dad walk in the processional with my mom, grandparents, etc.  You could also have a father-daughter dance.

We also did not have a flower girl or ring bearer, and I'm more than happy with our choice.  Kids are just too unpredictable for me to want them to stand there through a whole ceremony.  I had a Catholic wedding and we did have H's niece and nephew bring the gifts for communion, but they were accompanied by my SILs.

There are not any kids in either of our families' with girls young or old enough, so we might just have a ring bearer, but I'm also thinking no...
