How Old Is Too Old for a Flower Girl?

I have an adorable cousin that I would love to make my flower girl...but she's almost 9. I'm not really having a formal wedding, so I was hoping that I could get away with an older flower girl, but I don't really know what's typical? How old is too old for a flower girl?

That's okay. I wouldn't go much older than that.

When she says to you, "I'm too old to be a flower girl."

Ask HER if she wants to be a flower girl.

At 8/9 I would have still been excited to be a FG. Ask her and see what she says.

I think 9 is fine. My BIL had his 12 year old cousin as his flower girl.

My FI and I are using his 12 year old cousin as our flower girl. And she is completely ecstatic with the idea. I saw you should ask her, and if it's something she wants to do, go for it.

My sister would have been thrilled to be a flower girl at 9. I probably would have dismissed it as a baby job around age 6. The only way to know for sure is to just ask the kid.

my flowergirl is going to be 7 by the time my wedding comes.
it was suggested to me that since she is a little older than MOST flowergirls
that she carry a small bouquet similar to the bridemaids INSTEAD of a
basket w/ flowers.

I am a wedding coordinator and we just held a wedding where the flower girl was 17!

My "Flower Girl" is 7, but she isn't dropping any flowers. She will be pulling the aisle runner.
