Too old for ring bearer?

kbevers

So I already googled this, and since I haven't been to any weddings that actually had a reing bearer I can't decide... I wanted to ask one of my cousins to be the ring bearer in my wedding. I'm close to him since I used to watch him in high school, but he's 10. I know most people use toddlers for this, but I'd like to include him. Do you think that 10 is too old? Should I find something else for him to do?

Ask HIM. If he's comfortable with it, let him. None of your voting choices apply. Ask him, not his parents!

My RBs were nearly 11 and loved every second of it.  Asked if they could wear tuxes and took the pillows home at the end of the day.  If he's into it, let him!

Ask him what he thinks. You could say, "Would you like to be in my wedding? You could be a ring bearer or an usher/groomsman." I promise he will tell you what he wants to do.

I put NO, because its up to the kid to tell you if he's too old. Ask him.

ditto this. he might be embarrassed or it might make him feel special. who knows? ask him if he would want to be called the ringbearer or a junior groomsman. the ring pillow would probably be a bit too much but thats up to you and him
