NEED TITLE for nephew in wedding party!! CREATIVE IDEA IS A MUST!!!!!!!!

First Comment
in Wedding Party
We are trying to steer away from the completely traditional wedding, that said, it is in a church, and we do have a ring bearer and a flower girl. We also have a "bestest man" (mine & the grooms son).
I need a title for my other nephew. He will be handing out programs and doing a reading. I dont want to call him the ring bearer because we already have one. I dont want to call him a jr groomsman because I've never liked that term. I do want him to walk up hand in hand with the ring bearer and the flowergirl though- he has to keep them in line, as they are much younger.

Any ideas????

    Well you're not too creative. He IS WALKING UP with the ring bearer & flower girl. The other readers aren't doing that.

    Well no need to yell.  Your nephew does not need a special or unique title.  Just becasue he is walking the little kiddies down the aisle does not mean that he is anymore special then the other readers.  If he is doing a reading then he should be listed as a "reader" in the program.  That is unless you want to also call him "the flower girl and ringbearer walker".

    And I am sure he is just super excited to be in charge of wrangling the kiddos. (please note the sarcasm)

    Regardless of how he enteres the church, he's still a reader (and it sounds like a bit of an usher, too, since he's helping with programs and such). I understand the desire to have something special for him, but I think being given the responsibility and inolvement that you've given him is special enough. I'd put him down as a reader...
    Praying for a miracle!

    He is actually excited, as they are siblings. And yes, he does deserve a special title because he is my nephew and godson. I wasnt yelling I was pointing out the fact that he isnt just a reader. I use caps alot- notice the title of my post?
    Thank you for your input, however I am looking for something creative. If you don't have anything else to offer, no need to keep responding.

    Yea, well caps is yelling on the internet. Kids don't feel special because they have a creative title. They feel special by the way you treat them. So call, him groomsman, escort or reader and treat him lilke a special part of your day.

    Yes, but in the message board world using caps equates to yelling so I would advise against using caps unless you actually mean to yell.

    And just becasue he is your nephew and godson still does not mean that he deserve some random made-up title.  Honestly, he is having quite a big part in your wedding and if he is old enough to perform a reading then he is old enough to understand the importance of that role.  Giving him a unique title will not make him feel anymore special.

    Oh and you know why you are having a hard time thinking of a title is because there isn't a unique title for what he is doing...he is a reader. Period.

    And finally, I can comment on any post I want so please do not tell me what to do.

    Coming up with a random meaningless title that's different than the established random meaningless title isn't going to make your wedding sooper speshul or make him feel extra honored.  It just smacks of trying too hard, and I say this as someone who pretty deliberately smashed just about every wedding tradition we encountered.

    Just call him a reader and have done with it.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    We aren't telling you that you can't be different.  We are telling you that trying to think of a unique title for a person who is in fact just a reader is a pointless waste of your time.  He will not care what his title is, that is unless it is "NINJA STEGOSAURUS" because that is just awesome, he will feel special knowing that he is contributing and is part of your special day.  You could give him no title and he will still feel special because you are including him.

    I didn't realize this was so difficult to understand.

    How old is he?

    If he's old enough to do a reading and "keep the other kids in line" he is probably old enough to realize when you are just trying to make up a random title that doesn't mean anything, and honestly, if he is over the age of 10 or 12, he may be more embarrassed than anything by an elaborate "unique" title. I teach high school and am around teenage boys all day long and I know they would be.

    If you want to let him know how much he means to you, TELL him that. Buy him a gift you know he will love or take him somewhere he would enjoy going on a weekend or something. Giving him a random, made-up title will not show him he means a lot to you. It will just tell him that you are trying way too hard to be different and "unique" and used him for that in the process.

    My 8 yr. old nephew is walking with my ring bearer who is my 2 1/2 yr old son for the simple fact of keeping him in line. We are giving my nephew the title of "ring bearer wrangler". We're havign a rustic wedding so it fits! My nephew is also going to be holding a wooden hand painted sign that says Uncle ____ here comes your girl.

    Hope you find a cute title.

    Sheesh. Calm down, ladies. For a non-traditional wedding, unconventional titles sound creative and fun. Good luck-I hope you don't get disheartened by the negative comments. Remember-it's your wedding and it doesn't have to follow a rule book. It's your party and you should do it the way you want! :)

    I my humble opinion, if his title is 'creative' people won't know what he's supposed to be.
