ring bearer(s)

I will have 3 ring bearer's in our wedding as we have 3 sons. At time of the wedding they will be 2, 4, and 5. How many ring pillows should I have? I thought about just having the oldest but is there something else my other 2 can carry?

In almost every wedding I've seen (I work as a church musician....I've seen alot) the RB's don't carry the real rings anyway.  They're given to the safekeeping of the best man and/or MOH.

So let all three carry the same thing with pretend rings on them.  Or alternatives:
box
teddy bears
toy truck
baseball mitt

OR

Whatever they can't throw, twirl, spin, or push......

That is actually a really interesting question. I have seen them carrying lanterns (with LED votives of course), or just walking behind the one carrying the pillow. Its likely that you won't give them the actual rings anyway, in case they drop them, etc.

Definitely don't give them the real rings; hopefully Meg will chime in and tell you why.

Their only purpose is to look cute, so they can carry whatever serves that purpose.  One of the best wedding pictures I've seen is a ring bearer who carried his Optimus Prime figure.

I by no means would give my kids my rings lol. I just want it to be fair and not have one be more important to the other. What I was thinking is have the oldest in the middle with the pillow and the youner ones on each side of him.
