We are having 2 ring bearers and 2 flower girls. The flower girls will be carrying pomander balls but what do we have the ring bearers carry? My FH is all about the traditional pillow which is fine (I'd prefer something that we can use later like a box of some sort but it doesn't really matter to me) but do we have both boys carry one? I don't like the signs with the cute sayings so that's not an option. Is it weird to only have one boy carrying something and the other not or should we go either both carry something or neither carry something?
I fully realize I am completely overthinking things and it doesn't really matter that much. It's just become one of the little details that is stuck in my head right now and has started bothering me. We're getting closer (58 days!) and it's getting to details time so I'm sure I'll start to overthink things more and more as the days go on...
Re: Ring Bearers
I'm really glad to hear that you're not going to have them carry those signs. I don't find them "cute" and lots of kids don't like carrying them either. When I've seen photos of them, the kids are almost always scowling.
Our nephew was our ring bearer. He carried an empty pillow! (Best Man held the rings). Looking back- why did I give him a random pillow? Seems silly now :P Traditional, seemed important at the time.
(Can I also say YAY to no signs? When I first saw them pop up on Pinterest I thought they were cute- probably more because the little kids holding them were cute, but now they seem so silly and make me want to gag. Yeah, we know the bride is coming, she's the one in white
That being said Etsy ( I love etsy...) has lot of cute options for boxes if you aren't a huge fan of the pillows. A quick search turned these up.

Also, and completely unrelated, I think we're wedding date twins!
I'll have to look more into boxes... Although I think we may end up not doing anything. That idea is getting more and more attractive to me.
