So I've read here and a few other places about ring bearers and flower girls. I've noticed a lot of comments about certain age being too young. My flower girl is my niece. She is going to be close to 3 1/2. I know she will be fine. She loves being the center of attention and she is so excited to wear her pretty dress. However my godson/nephew will be my ring bearer will only be 1 1/2. I know he is young & he won't really understand what's going on.But he is my godson who I care about dearly and want him to be a part of my day. My thought is I can always have a back up plan if he gets stage fright. I've worked with kids in this age group so I know there's a 50/50 chance of him not wanting to do anything lol
Re: Am I Crazy?
Also, you won't even see him go down the aisle/participate in your wedding unless you're having a videographer, because he'll go down the aisle before you.
A backup plan is the way to go, and tell yourself you won't be upset if the 1.5 year old doesn't work out.
In the wedding I was MOH, we had a 7 year old boy as RB and he was no problem. His 5 year old girl cousin as FG was more of a wild card. One of the bridesmaids was his mother/ her aunt, so we had her walk first, and the kids holding hands next. We told her, "walk to Aunt Linda"
If the girl didn't want to walk down the aisle at the last minute, she didn't have to. But it worked perfectly. They charged down the aisle like it was a race, and it was adorable.
