At 7yo, they're actually the PERFECT age for RB and FG! They're young enough to be super cute, but old enough to take direction and handle the responsibilities there-of. Now if they were going to be 12, that's a different discussion, but 7, absolute "perfect" age.. No kid that age wants to be hauling your gifts - really and handing out your programs is sort of a meh type thing because of the age. I suspect it's a bit of projection that you don't want them in the actual WP or think that a kid in school isn't capable of walking in a line behind others. Seven years old is not three to five, they won't get "stage fright".

I think the OP knows these kids better than we do to make that call. Our ring bearer was 7 and terrified at the rehearsal. The only thing that got him to walk was allowing him to hold his mom's phone and take video as he walked.

I certainly didn't mean no one may comment on here anymore, I was saying I don't need any more suggestions.

I want them to be apart of my day, but I'm trying to keep the comfort level of these kids in mind. I know for sure that my nephew doesn't enjoy the spotlight. And I need someone to deliver the gifts, so it isn't a bullshit job, it's a job that actually needed to be filled, and I think the kids would be great for it. Again, I don't understand why you don't get that they just aren't a good fit for the ceremony by their own choice. I would never stop them from being the ring bearer and flower girl if they really wanted to do that.

Once again, thanks for the suggestions I did receive. I do like the idea of also having a dance with them.

Well, having them be apart from your day does seem to be the goal here.

You're a teacher FFS. You should know the difference between a part and apart.
