Re: Junior Bridesmaids
If you want a younger girl to be your junior bridesmaid, go for it. There's no set age.

This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

It wasn't until some here pointed out that it's kind of silly to add the descriptor "Jr." to someone who does exactly the same thing as the other BMs. As aeirn said, we don't call the "older" BMs Sr. Bridesmaids. So why add an unneccessary adjective to the younger girls?

[QUOTE]I'm going to respectfully agree to disagree about the jr title. FI and I are having 3 Jrs in our wedding. They are all at or under the age of 13 (which in my personal opinion is the cut off for the "junior" title). But to each their own. If any of my jrs express any sort of opinion against the jr title I would have no problem dropping it and just listing them as bridesmaid or groomsman in the program but I see nothing wrong with the title in general. :/ (At the time of our wedding they will be 10, 11 and 13.)

You haven't actually said why you disagree, except because you're using it.
What does adding "junior" in front of their title possibly add, value-wise?
As a 13 year old, I would have hated being called junior.

So you're going to list the over-13 BMs as "senior bridesmaids" in your program, right?
Why do they have to complain in order for you to treat them the same as the older girls who will be wearing the exact same dresses and walking down the exact same aisle? Why don't you just do it because it's the decent thing to do? Are you going to have a specially designated junior bridesmaid table at the reception in order to further alienate them from the rest of your wedding party?
I don't get why people get so bent out of shape about having the jr title. If you don't like it, don't use it. I'm having 3 jrs - ages 8, 9 and 11. They're juniors because they're kids. They get different (age appropriate) dresses, they don't wear high heels, they get smaller bouquets/bouts because they are physically smaller.
I was a BM at 16 and yes, I would have been a little pissed at that age to be a 'jr', but at 10? I would have probably felt out of place to be a BM along side 25 year olds...
