Including older children into wedding ceremony/reception?

The two girls would be fine for the guest book, and perhaps the 15 year old boy could do a reading at the ceremony - or be in charge of the gift table at the reception, maybe.

While I understand wanting to include all your nieces & nephews. Myself I have 2 nieces and 3 nephews, my fiance has 3 nephews and one niece. All under the ages of 9. There comes a point that you truly don't have room for everyone, but you do not know what to do and you don't want to hurt anyones feelings.

Honestly, your flower girls are too old to be flower girls. Flower girls, typically are under the age of 8.

Your 14 year old niece and 15 year old nephew would be fine as a junior bridesmaid & junior groomsman.

As for the extra 10 year old, since you already have a 9 & 10 year old as flower girls, then just add one more.

Handing out programs and favors would be nice. However the guest book role/job is a lame job and the guest book can handle itself. Everyone knows its general location and how to use it.

Your extra 10 year old could also do a reading - shy or not.

If you're going to have the 9 and 11 year olds as flower girls then you've really got to have the 10 year old as a flower girl also. Very unfair not to.

I would have the 14 + 15 year olds as ushers. You can even dress them in outfits matching the groomsmen and bridesmaids. Or you can them paired as junior groomsman / junior bridesmaid and standing with the rest of the bridal party.

Of course, there is no rule that you must have flower girls and ring bearers at all. So another way to avoid "unfairness" is to have them all as ordinary guests.

toddlers that youthful are unpredictable and would get cranky. go away her with a relied on chum or relative who can go away the marriage if she gets disruptive. Trot her out for some wedding ceremony photos. do no longer make her a flower female or something. the element a great variety of mum and dad (fairly mum and dad of daughters, for some reason) have hardship with is information that the youngster's desires and needs are not continually comparable to yours, or comparable to what you think of they'd desire to be. attempt to concentration on what thee toddler could truthfully appreciate or earnings from, no longer what seems lovable. a toddler isn't a manner accessory.

Please forgive me but your wedding is beginning to sound like a day care.

To have to invent things for these children to do is trying to keep the peace, I realize that, but SIX children??

The only thing left to do is hand out programs maybe? Or have the older nephew help people find their tables at the reception.

well the 14 year old and 15 year old could help seat people or help in the dressing room.The little girl could also help in the dressing room by getting water help ziper dresses and other small tasks that make her feel special.the older ones could also help the little flowergirls and ring barriers get ready or help out decorate.

i would say junior bridesmaid and a candlelight for the 10 year old and have a junior groomsmen
