Need some creative help - scrapbooking/storytelling

I've decided to make books/scrapbooks for our flower girls and ring bearer. The beginning pages will be a sort of story about the cool things they get to do as flower girl/ring bearer and the ending pages will be premade scrapbook pages where they will be able to choose pics after the wedding to put on those pages.

I'm stuck on some cool things that each will get to do (I'd like to have about 10 things). Here's what I've got so far:

Flower girls:

Wear pretty dress that matches bridesmaids (in color mostly, not really in style)
Toss flower petals down the aisle
Bride's special helper

Ring bearer:

Groom's special helper
Wear a bout like the groom
Wear clothes to match the groomsmen

The ring bearer will not actually be carrying the rings down the aisle, just a pillow, so I'm not sure if I want to add "carry the rings down the aisle" to his list. Also, I will be adding more detial about each specific thing, ie. The bride will walk in behind you after you have tossed the flower petals, so blah blah blah (idk exactly what I'm going to put yet).

So my question to all you creative types is, what else is cool about being a ring bearer/flower girl? I was never a flower girl so I don't know what kinds of things they might also want to look forward to.

Thanks!

    I actually was a flower girl when I was little! Basically they are there to look cute haha! My neice is my flower girl. I always thought of them as sort of a "mini me". There is a lot of small things you can have them do depending on their age, pass out programs, bells, bubbles etc. Help carry your train/ flowers. Definately remind you to laugh/ smile that day! Tell them they get to come to a big rehearsal dinner. They get to practice just  like the "big kids".

    Those are good ideas! Thanks! The flower girls are 5 & 6 and the ring bearer is 7, so they can handle a little responsibility. Mentioning the rehearsal/dinner is a good idea too - I almost forgot about that.
