3 Ring Bearers

Hi.

We have no flower girl, and 3 ring bearers. (We didn't want to have to choose)

I kept putting this off and putting it off, thinking I would come up with an idea when the wedding got closer. Well the wedding is closer and I'm still stumped.

I know that it's really to just look cute-and they will, three boys, 4,5, & 7 in little tux's.--What I'm worried about is that two boys will feel like they dont really have a "job"

One will carry the pillow-probably whoever is in the middle, but what about the two sides?

Any ideas of what the other two could carry down the isle?

(My only idea is letting them carry the candle sticks for the unity ceremony, unlit of course!)

Thanks in advance!!

    Hey, my 2 flower girls will be carrying a banner that says "Here Comes the Bride". They will walk down the aisle right before I do. Or You could also have 2 mini pillows and have the two on the outside carry one ring each on the mini pillows  and have the person in the middle (possibly the oldest) takeover the two rings at the end of the aisle and hand them over to your MOH and BM(or whoever else). Good Luck!

    All 3 could have pillows with fake rings on them.  If they aren't all the same, I would worry that children at that age would think something wasn't fair and that they were getting jipped.

    We don't have a little boy, but we have three nieces, one being our god child.  (They are all from his side of the family, but they call me aunt).  Anyway, they are 1,3, and 5 and the 3 year old is our god child.  We are thinking of having the 1 year old walk down first with a fishing pole, the the middle one with a huge sunflower with the rings on it and then the 5 year old with another fishing pole (we both love fishing and are incorporating fishing stuff throughout).  This way they will all be involved, but it won't be three ring bearers either.

    The ring bearers rarely carry the real rings anyway.  Those are safely in the possession of the BM or officiant.  So give all three little boys something to carry and it will be fine.  Their only purpose really is to be cute.  And I'm sure they can do that.

    And I know you didn't ask, but pp with the "here comes the bride" banner.  Those things remind me of the HS marching band in the Memorial Day parade.  It amazes me that people actually put a sign in front of the girl in the white dress and veil that says "Here comes the bride".  It's just so silly, IMO.

    I was at a wedding where the bride and groom had one little girl and several little boys in their families and wanted them in the wedding.  The girl was a traditional flower girl, the boys carried this really long garland of flowers that they placed at the "alter".  The wedding was outdoors, in front of a fountain at a botanical garden.

    We had three ring bearers as well and we just gave one a pillow (the oldest) and the other two had stuffed animals to carry. They two youngest ones didn't really carry their animals down the aisle (I'm not sure why) but they were just fine being up there with nothing to 'carry' or hold.
