Need Help!!

Candicejae

Ok, so I have a a 10 year old cousin (boy), and an 11 year old brother that I want to incorporate into my wedding somehow. I just don't know what they can do! Aren't they were too old to be ring bearers and too young to be hosts (well, I really don't need anymore host/hostesses since I already have two)?....What can I have them do!!

Pass out programs and hand out your seeds/bubbles/confetti/ribbon wands if you're having it?

Also. . . fun to see another MI girl on the board! My thing-a-ma-jig says DC because that's where we live now, but we're getting married in the Detroit area where I grew up/my parents live.

I think you should ask them if they want to be involved and what they'd like to do if they are. I don't think anyone particularly enjoys handing out programs/bubbles. You never know, they might want to be ring bearers or ushers or even do a reading or maybe your brother can accompany your mom down the aisle for the precession---asking them is the only way you'll find out for sure what they are comfortable with/interested in doing though.

I agree with PP to ask them. My niece who I think is 13 was a hostess. Then when I asked her, she said no and her parents (well, my parents, agreed with her). You never know. And they may have suggestions. 

But you asked for suggestions

They could hold signs saying "the bride is coming"...

They could help roll out the runner (my mom had 11-12 yos did this at her wedding)

They could escort the elders (but I think you said they may be too young for this, but I would argue this is really cute)

By the way, I sent you a PM.

YAY!! Michigan girls!! Whoop Whoop!!! LOL!  We are doing sparklers for our exit, so maybe I'll have them pass those out, and fans?  Thanks for the suggestions, because I had no clue.

They want to be involved, and don't really care what they do. I've asked, and they both said "I don't care" lol. Maybe, I'll ask them again, and throw out suggestions this time to get a feel for what they like and don't like.  Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going to ask them, but I need suggestions to bounce off of them because they really don't care what they do.  They just want to be part of the wedding.  But, I PM'd you back! Thanks!

What about having them do a reading during the ceremony?

I agree, have them seat people, hand things out, or do the aisle runner.

Thanks ladies!!
