Three ring bearers?

ccarmean

Hi! So my dilemma is that my fiance and I have a few little boys in our lives that we would be able to choose from for a ring bearer (three to be more specific, two are the grooms nephews and one a groomsmans son). However we dont have any little girls on either side, or any friends with little girls. I've decided I'm okay with not having a flower girl, but would like to incorporate the three boys in someway equal to the ring bearer. Maybe all together would be cute? But what would each carry? Any creative suggestions as to what or how I could pull this off? Thanks so much!

In the UK we have pageboys - here's what they do.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participants_in_wedding_ceremonies#Page_boys_and_ringbearers

In most cases that I know, the RBs don't even carry the real rings. The BM and/or MOH has the real rings. The RBs are there for the "cute" factor. So just have all three little boys walk down the aisle and then do whatever they're going to do. Stand in the front during the ceremony or go sit with relatives during the ceremony. They don't really have to carry anything, but can carry a "decorative something" if you want.

depending on how old they are, they could serve as acolytes, lighting all the candles before the ceremony. I did that in a couple weddings when I was a young'un.

Are you having a religious mass? Could they bring up the gifts? How old? could they be alter servers? Main job of ring bearer as I see is to be an adorable little boy. So having 3 is not a horrible thing so they could all be ring bearers You could also have then bring in bible or other holy book flowers for teh mothers or mary the gifts if a mass the unity candle candle any other significant item involved in the ceremoney like a lasso or the handfasting ropes if that is your tradition

I went to a wedding where the bride had three small sons. The boys wore little tuxes, and the two oldest walked down the aisle holding hands (the smallest got stage fright at the last second). No pillow, no props, no titles (she didn't have programs). Everyone still thought it was incredibly cute. If you want to label them as something in the program, if you're having them, I'd just call them either "Ring Bearers" or "Child Attendants" or just "Attendants." Nobody will care if they're not carrying the real rings (ring bearers very rarely do), or even if they're not carrying pillows. The purpose of kids in a wedding is to basically just look cute, and since I'm sure they're all adorable then you've already accomplished that. Just let them walk down the aisle, and whatever they carry or don't carry is up to you.
