A lot of nieces and nephews

Hi Knotties! I am planning a very small and intimate wedding next year (Oct 2011) but I'm having a hard time not including my nieces and nephews. I have 9 in total and I don't think it's fair to iinclude only a few as flower girls/ring bearer. I know it sounds crazy but I love those kids to death. I would love to have them be part of the wedding in any way. I read a blog that suggested they walk in front of me as I make my way down the aisle. Any other ideas as to how I can include them? It can be either at the ceremony or the reception. Thanks!

    I think it's a nice idea that you want to include them but that's a lot of children.  I would skip having them in the ceremony and just spend a little time with them on the dance floor.

    I would also probably just go with no FG or RB. Less is more.

    But I do know someone who, rather than having adult attendents, just had her neices and nephews stand up with her. You could just have children in the WP (which is supposed to be popular in Europe), depending on their ages.

    Thanks! These ar both good ideas. I'll probably consult with their parents and see how they feel about all of this :)
