CommentAuthorSianyCaitlin
It's just personal preference, you don't HAVE to have them. I've got 2 flower girls, one is my goddaughter (& my MOH's daughter) & one is h2b's niece/goddaughter (one of my BM's daughters & Best mans's daughter) :) xx

i wasn't going to and the only reason i did was because my nan wanted her two youngest grandchildren to be involved in the wedding and offered to pay
so i asked them and all was sorted then my nan changed her mind about paying for them so my mum did in the end luckily otherwise i would have had to demote them but i couldn't do that as it would have upset them
completely your choice hun but don't feel pressured in to it.

CommentAuthorKistHall
We are only having our friends daughter as she is the only child going and it was a sneaky way round bending the no kids rule! Hehee no one can complain about double standards this way, plus she'll look really cute!
I'm having a page boy, my nephew and a flower girl, my friends little girl. I don't have any bridesmaids tho and only one usher. It's personal choice x x

Do you have anyone that it would make sense to ask? I wouldn't just ask anyone just for the sake of having children in your bridal party.
CommentAuthorClaireS2bMrsSimpson
Most of my bridal party are kids.. We have 4 flower girls ages 3 4 4 4 2 page boys ages 2 7 4 bridemaides ages. 10 13 17 24 and then moh best man and 2 usher. We only asked that many as we spend alot with the kids as with 2 kids ourself so just seemed right for us.
CommentAuthorGillianE
It is entirely up to you, and no one should pressure you into having children in the bridal party if you don't want to have them.

It's really up to yourselves we are having our daughter and my neice x

CommentAuthorLauraJo87
As those ladies have said, it's up to you - I would say if there are any special children in your life so you'd like to share your big day, go for it.
It is extra stress though, so personally, I wouldn't do it just for the sake of having them xx

You don't need to have them. I never had a flower girl, just bridesmaids and not really a pageboy as such as my son gave me away with my step dad.

You don't need to have them at all? Have you got any little people you could ask?
CommentAuthorBecca
We have four groomsmen, 4 bridesmaids, a flower girl and 2 pageboys ... (The flower girl and pageboys are all ages 2-6 years old) ... I'm not sure if I've bitten off more than I can chew if I'm honest! ... I think its lovely to try and involve the little ones, but its all up to you :) xxxx
CommentAuthorJanie
entirely up to you hun. also depends on your views on kids at weddings. I PERSONALLY really dont understand people saying no kids at weddings...to me theyre a part of the family and shouldnt be excluded. I feel theyve as much right to be there as anyone else, and feel too that they MAKE a wedding...theyre so sweet and cute and i love thier unpredictability so i am having 3 flower girls and a page biy (who i am thrilled accpeted as he has cerebal palsy and i wasnt sure it would be too much for him)
BUT it is entirely up to you, your day your way!

CommentAuthorMRS B to Be
i am having a pageboy - Our nephew but i dont have any little girls that close to us so im not having a flower girl . i think if you cant think of anyone then there is no point having someone for the sake of it.
I think do what you want!! there are no wedding 'rules' nowadays
When my cousin got married she stuck to 'traditions' meaning your maid of honour had to be married (aparantly) so picked someone she knew was married that we had never heard of before and didnt seem interested in the wedding at all let alone being MOH. she didnt even come to the hen night and we only met her day before the wedding.
CommentAuthorvicki
I'm having a pageboy but no flower girls as our pageboy is our 3 year old son but our daughter's are 14 & 12 so too old to be flower girls and I really want the focus to be on our 3 kids and us becoming a family as well as a married couple but it's really up to you whether you want them or not
CommentAuthormrsV2013
If you don't want them then don't. You have who you want. I have no choice my 6 year old would not like me forever if she couldn't be a flower girl :)
hicory vicary dock i will be mrs rachel vicary :)
CommentAuthorKristina
I think it is totally up to you if you would like a flower girl and a page boy.

We're not having any at our wedding as there are too many kid, ask 1 you have to ask them all lol, its entirely up to you! Your day after all x
CommentAuthorLisaT18
it is totaly up to you. i dont think people should push you into having people you dont want in your wedding party
CommentAuthorMichelleB2b
Have what you want to have, you shouldn't feel obliged to have anything you don't want. I am having a lot of bridesmaids, some adults, some children, but that was what I wanted. Five sounds lovely. x
CommentAuthorPenguinJ
we are having bestman, 2 ushers, moh and 3 bms, the only little one we are having in the wedding party is h2b 3 year old nephew as ring bearer
So lucky to be marrying my soulmate on 18/07/20
CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
Totally up to you ! We're keeping costs down by only having best man and maid of honour.. No bridesmaids or ushers.. My H2B has 2 boys who will be 8 and 16 by the time we get married so the 8 year old is ring bearer and 16 year old is a witness..
I have so many young girl cousins that it would have been ridiculous, I'd have gotten it in the ear if I'd have only chosen a couple and gotten it in the wallet if I'd have chosen all of them.. I have 8 girl cousins who will be under the age of 14.. xx

CommentAuthorJenniferY90
I have a flowergirl and pageboy but only becuase they are my bridesmaids kids and I love them like they were my own family, I brought one home from hospital and I was at the birth of the other so I truly love them. If it wasn't for those two I wouldn't have any. My niece was supposed to be a flowergirl at a friends wedding recently and she is not in a single photo of the wedding because she was so naughty that she only made it half way down the church before she was taken out!
CommentAuthorMrsManiatt
Im having my older sisters as BMs and my future niece as flowergirl, H2B has 3 friends as groomsmen (one of which is female - the best woman) but my nephew nagged a bit so he's now ring bearer, which I don't mind coz hes the eldest out of my nephews (will be 3yrs) so im more than happy to have him involved. Its up to you really! xxx
CommentAuthorFionaR41
am having 6 grown up BM 's as they are my daughters, & friends but having a flower girl and 2 page boys as they are my grandchildren. Had i not had them then it would just be grown ups.
Dont feel as though you should have a flower girl / page boy - it could be a never ending list depending on size of your family

CommentAuthorJEm1905
I think we are having 2 bridemaids and 2 maybe 3 best men. all being my OH's brothers. 2 of them were joint Best Man for our Civil Partnership but thinking we might need to involve the youngest one too at this point. If we have children between now & then they will be the only little people invovled in the day. My OH doesnt currently have any neices of nephews me however well My sister is just about to pop out baby number 20 (She hasnt had 20 herself dont panic) She doesnt no the sec yet and only has 2 days to do so bubba will be my 20th niece or nephew. then i have 2 Step Nieces too! FAR too many kids to get invovled considering currently the ages are from newborn (soon) and 13, so going by 2019 if they dont have anymore 6 & 19. The oldest may get asked to do something but not sure yet.
Major rule of wedding planning Don't ever get forced into thing you don't want to do or have, you will regret it. I've learnt that the hard way. xx
