Wedding Party

Flower Girls

As part of our wedding party, my FI and I decided to ask my neighbours twin daughters to be our flower girls. Their mother is thrilled that I'm including her daughters as this will most likely be their only opportunity to do so except that she has another daughter who will only be 3 and a half at the time of our wedding, and has now mentioned casually in conversation to my mother that she was wondering if I'd consider having her third daughter as well. As much as I can see where she's coming from I'm wonder if 3 flower girls is just too many. I also have concerns that her youngest may be too young to understand what's going on. My FI and I have discussed it, but we really have no idea what to do. I want to be able to give my neighbour an answer...please help!

  • Next time she hints, either bean dip or tell her 2 is plenty and you just don't feel she is old enough.

  • How close to the little girl are you? That's what matters! Two cousins with little girls - one has 3 and one has 2 - All of whom I'm super close with so I'm just having all five as flower girls. They will be 8,7,6,5 and 3 years old! It might be madness but I just couldn't picture them not being in my wedding!!  So obviously I'm coming from a place where I don't think 3 is too young. However I think your relationship with her matters! If you're not that close and you never thought of her being in your wedding then ditto to PPs! Bean dip her until she gets the hint. If you're close to her though and YOU want her as a flower girl then go for it!

  • My flower girls are 3 years old...I have 2 of them...if you want to include the 3rd daughter I think that with the help of her sisters she can do it.  If you don't want to include her then use the reasons you gave us (she is too young or two is enough)
  • Yes, I have 3 flower girls right now and i'm considering having my cousin's daughter be a flower girl, and she is only 2. If she can walk then she can be a flower girl, they all don't have to do the same thing, my two youger flower girls are just going to be walking down the isle in front of me, but the older two will be throwing flowers as they walk.
