Jr. Bridesmaid

Usherette

Do a reading if shes old enough

Answer 2

how old is she?? if shes to big to be a flower girl shes prob about 12, 13?? she is deff old enough to be a jr. bridesmaid. If in fact she is that age.. she may not be able to par take in everything that the older brides maids to but you could have something special for her that the other brides maids dont get to do.. I have my little brother as a jr gooms men.. by the time we get married he will be 13. Deff to old for a ring barrier but perfect for a jr. grooms men.. its ur wedding day if u want someone in your wedding them make them a part of it.. u would hate to regret it later...

you could also.. have her sing? play and instrument? if shes good at anything like that.. my bro will also be playing the trumpet to all you need is love by the beatles.. when i walk down the aisle (beach wedding)

good luck!!

you could also have her great people and guide them to there tables at the reception.

btb.. u have plenty of time to get a dress for her.. most kids dont really have much of a body shape so its alot easier to find a dress that already will fit them so you will not have to get it altered... and my fiancee's sister found a wedding dress in 2 days! and it was gorgouse... and it did have to be altered..

Answer 3

How old is she? Our flower girl is 6. So that truly is up to you. If that is still not an option, you could have her be your guest book attendant. It's not something that most people use anymore, but if you really want to include her, that's a great option.

Good luck to you!

Answer 4

let her help decorate and get the wedding set up.  that will make her feel important and needed.  let her cook something (help her)  Or let her help the bride get ready.  You know??

Answer 5

we did this and she LOVED it!

Get her a few disposible cameras and have her build her own photo album. It'll keep her busy during the ceremony

and for yourself and your wife ENJOY THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!! The next time you'll have all of your friends and family together, you'll be stairing up at them from a box!!

Answer 6

Ten-year-olds are perfect for chiming the hour. If you're not familiar with this, I'll describe:

At the appointed hour for the start of the wedding, the girl (it can also be a boy) walks down the aisle ringing a bell - usually one borrowed from the church's bell choir if there is one - or some other bell. If there are two children, it's fine to have both walk down and both ring bells. They walk all the way down and take their seat with their parents or other relatives. Then the wedding begins as usual.

Or she could light the candles.

Or she could sit on the front row and when it's time to hand off your bouquet, she could come get it from you. This is a particularly practical idea as it leaves your Maid of Honor free to hand you the rings and straighten your train before you go back up the aisle. Then as you head up the aisle, the girl can give you the bouquet. It makes it easier for you to do rings, get your dress fixed again, and possibly go down stairs (if your church's chancel is raised) without worrying about the bouquet.

Hope this is helpful!

Answer 7

Junior Bridesmaid

Answer 8

i love the posters idea about letting her take pictures ! give her a couple disposable ones or if shes mature enough to have someones digital camera and let her take pictures even as evryones getting ready some of the best pics at our wedding were the spontaneous ones before the wedding if not try the jr bridesmaid idea or if you dont have a flowe girl let her do it so what if shes a bit older age is just a number what matters is its an important date and you celabrate it with all the family and friends that you love you can find all sorts of pretty dresses right of the rack it doesn't have to be the same one your other brides maids are wearing just something simple....im sorry I'm really against having her hand our programs or stand at the guest book that just seems so much like a job a servant position i don't mean anything to the posters themselves i just try to look at it from the kids point of view is all its not something that is fun or creative....i think if possible try to get her involved ask her mom what kind of dress shes getting show her yours talk about hair styles let her run around with the ring bearer or flower girl if you have them while evryones getting ready....are you making your own boquets or center peices or anything? have her help you make them not that your soupoused to know about getting your car all decorated but put the bug in her ear or have someone else help her decorate your car....i hope you can come up with something so that you dont feel bad and she feels important at 10 its very easy to get your feelings hurt congrats and good luck

Answer 9

Put her in charge of something small, but important....like have her hand out the programs when people walk in, or maybe have her hand out bubbles, or bird seed, whatever you are doing. You can also have her stand at the front of the reception and have her great people.....many different things.

My fiance' and i went through this with out cousins too! Good luck, just whatever you have her do, make her feel special. it maybe a small task, but its "her" task.

Congrats and good luck!!!

Answer 10

The two ideas that come to mind right away are Jr. Bridesmaid (done all the time) or personal attendant (just make sure you also have someone older around to help you with thing she can't).  I don't know how old she is so I'm not really sure what she's capable of, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a way for her to be involved.  

Answer 11

I would have her in charge of the guest book,  get her a dress to match the bridesmaids and tell her that she has the most important job of all.  Making sure that all the guest sign in.  It will  make her feel important and it gives her something to do.

Answer 12

What about doing a reading?
