Need a Special Title for my Daughter in the Wedding! Ideas?

cajaco08 · January 2012

I have a 5 year old daughter from a previous relationship, and I want her to stand at the altar with me and my future husband during the ceremony. I don't want her to have the title "flower girl", as I feel that doesn't portray the importance she has in this marriage. Any ideas on special titles I coud give her? She will still be walking down with the ring bearer, but will stand with us at the front of the church.

I got nothing, other than junior bridesmaid or honor attendant. Flower girl is completely fine and is in no way demeaning. Guest is also an honor too.

I don't mean for this to sound rude, but a lot of people worry about coming up with special titles for people to feel included and just worry themselves to death over making sure everyone has a "role."

Bridesmaid or Maid of Honor. She will feel very grown-up.

Personally, I'd do flower girl and then she can stand up there with you. Why the need for a special title? Otherwise, mini-bride would seem the most appropriate. LoL. Everyone will know her importance to you because she is your daughter.

I was going to have my daughter, who is 18, as my MOH, she decided it was "lame" and came up with her own title "maid of awesomeness", my son christened himself "best dude". I would have been fine with whatever they came up with, they're so excited, even though they keep threatening to kick me out of my own wedding, wacky kids.
