Girl ring bearer?

LizS2485, on January 14, 2016 at 2:16 PM Posted in Planning 0 20

Hi everyone so FH and I "went backwards" and had children first. Our oldest daughter is 5 and the youngest is 3. We planned on them both being flower girls but the youngest has told us she doesn't want to do it now. I said what about holding mommy and daddy's rings and she seems really excited about it! Should I get her a pillow like I would if it was a little boy or has anyone seen anything cool/different. Thanks!

    Your girls are adorable!!! If she wants to be a ring bearer, I think that's a super cute idea.

    I do too! I just want to see if anyone has seen a cute way for her to hold the rings or if I should get her a pillow.

    1st they are soo cute! 2nd sure I think that's a great idea, there are no set rules. I've never seen a girl ring bearer but I'm sure its been done before.

    Your little ones are so cute. I say if she wants to carry it let her do it. Pillow would be the easiest but she might think a little jewelry box is more her style. DH carried a pillow at his uncles wedding 30 years ago. They gave us the pillow for the wedding and then we felt horrible telling them that we weren't have a ring bearer. Well I told my 9 year old niece about the pillow and she said "If Matty walked with it for his uncle I want to do it for him." It was adorable and she walked in holding the pillow at our wedding.

    Heres a pic of her carrying it. She was so excited.

    Ring box, basket, figurine with ribbon, etc. Check Etsy for ideas. I am having two ring bearers and no flower girl. Each will carry a ring in a different way. Mine will be on a baseball (with a slot cut out), FH will be on a motorcycle replica (with a ribbon).

    If the flower girl will have a basket of petals, the ring bearer could have a basket with the rings tied to the handle with ribbons.

    We have a female ring bearer! She is a little girl super close to my fiance. I gave her the option of a pants suit or a dress similar to bridesmaid dresses and she chose the dress! I'm probably going to give her a wrist corsage and she will carry a book turned into a ring box. I think it will be crazy adorable.

    Doing the same after two girls and 16 years, we're finally getting married. However, everything "Ring Bearer" is gender specific to a boy. Any girl related stuff is appreciated!!
