flower girl and ring bearer??

My fiance and I are having a hard time with this because we are having an adult only wedding.  Our problem is if we have a flower girl and ring bearer then we have to invite them to the ceremony and there siblings.  We dont want everyone esle to get offended that two couples get to bring there kids. 

So, is it ok to NOT have a ring bearer or flower girl?

Re: flower girl and ring bearer??

  • Of course it's ok to not have children in your wedding party. I went without a flower girl or ring bearer, and I assure you the heavens did not strike us down. 

    But. If you DO want to have them in the wedding, and not invite any other children, then you're well within your right to do that too. I think inviting the wedding party kids' siblings would make their parents' lives easier though. But that doesn't mean you have to invite anyone else's kids.

  • Totally okay.  Your marriage will still be completely valid.
  • It's perfectly fine not to have either.  Also, bridal party kids are usually a pretty clear exception to the no kids rule.  Most (sane, rational) people won't get offended that BP kids are there but their own children weren't invited.

  • Yes you may have your flower girl and ring bearer at you reception and no other children. that is certainly acceptable.
