Wedding and my kids need suggestions

So My FH and I have 2 kids they are the center of our universe how do I make them something more than just flower girl, ring bearer ect? I want something unique and fun...I was thinking maybe instead of having our best man and MOH walk with eachother they could walk with one kid? Have the kids stand up with them? My son will be 5 and my daughter will be almost 4 at the time of the wedding..

    My guess at no replies to your post is that most people here feel strongly about not including their child(ren) in their wedding vows or giving them gifts that imply that the kids are getting married as well.

    This wedding is YOU marrying FI and the children are not part of the vows no matter how much you love them.

    Make them ring bearer & flower girl but that's about all the "role" they should have in your wedding.

    That said, I'm sure you can find a way to involve them more in your day to day life and that's what really counts

    Hmm thanks for your suggestions we are going for a different feel I guess. They will not be in vows at all...But I just wanted suggestions on cute ways for them to walk or whatever ...maybe with my mom something non traditional....It is their parents(us) that are getting married so its not tradtional anyway

    I love the idea of including your children. I am including my 13 yr old daughter, and my FH will give her necklace or some type of small gift to show he is not only marrying me, and taking me into his life, but he is also making a commitment to her to love her, and care for her...that she has another positve role model in her life that will also look out for her as well as her father. Remember it's your day, and you do what feels right in you.

    what if you just involed then in a unity ceremony you could do someting with sand and have them help you pour  the sand into a vase... that way they could sit down in the front and you dont have to worry about them standing for the whole ceremony

    I think it would be cute to have the MOH with your daughter and the BM with your son. . . .especially if there are similarities in their outfits. . . . the big and little could be cute together.  I would, however, think about having a place for them to sit for the ceremony since they might get antsy standing for the whole thing.

    I agree negativity is definitely contagious that is why I am staying away from the boards that are nasty now...i was rereading alot of people including 3 of my posts and I didnt like it at all..i emailed those bride and said sorry...I got caught up by reading everyone elses post and agreeing with what alot of people were saying but not very nice at all..Its hard when you read a post that a bride or bridal party is mis treating the other...This is supposed to be the greatest time of our lives so I think we need to get back to that.

    Where on Earth do people come up with the idea that wedding planning should be the "greatest time of our lives"?

    If the wedding planning is better than the marriage itself, there's something wrong. By all means, have fun and be happy with the planning, but hopefully your wedding day is not the happiest day of your life. What a long downhill slide....
