Help, what is your ring bearer carrying down the aisle?

No ring bearer or flower girl for my event. Also does that ring tray look like a penis to anyone else?

I'm making a little ivory pillow with a lace overlay. It's not done but i worked on it today.

Our ring bearers (twins) are carrying little baskets full of ring pops and passing them out to the guests on the sides of the isles.

Most kids can handle a pillow; you could sew small hoop earrings on it. I'm sure it depends on the kid. How old is your ring bearer?

Since you asked (not sure it will help you & sorry if TMI) - Our nephew will be 1 1/2 so I'm not even having him walk by himself, never mind try to carry something. My sister-in-law is a bridesmaid so he will stay with mom to walk down the aisle. I'm not going to bother with a prop at all, in case she needs to carry him (I also have a back up plan for her bouquet in place). He's too important to us to not have him be the "ring bearer" but we're too realistic about his age to expect him to carry anything or walk alone.

Hope that helps!

My mom is making the ring bearer pillow out of my grandmas wedding dress. My grandma and grandpa were married for 65 years so it's going to be very special.

Our ring bearer is our son who will be 19 months at the wedding.

We will tie the rings on the pillow and hope he doesn't fling it or something! Haha

Ordering this from Oriental Trading.. FH's grandson will be 3 so this is just super cute & I want him to wear the shades as well !!

We are skipping having a ring bearer and flower girl. The best man will have thing rings.

We were also thinking of ring security briefcase idea but having the MOH or BM hold onto the rings in lieu of FHs 3 y/o nephew. Maybe you could decorate a cigar box with a latch? Something you could put a pillow or fluff into but is slightly more rigid and may stay put/closed if dropped?

Our 4 year old ring bearer carried our real rings with no issues. I had my planner tie them on before he walked down the aisle.

Mine is carrying a pillow with fake rings.

Our ring bearer was 6 at the time so we definitely didn't give him our rings! He still carried a cute little ring pillow though

I had my 5yrnephew practice with a pillow and when he got to the end he through the pillow down and started wrestling the pillow.. weddings not until July I was thinking maybe I should consider something different smh

I just read a story yesterday where the rb spun the pillow rings flew off they had to spend 20 min looking for the brides rings- was that may have been posted here- can't recall where I read this--- nevertheless- little kids will be kids- I'd just have fake rings tied to the pillow...

We had my 9 yr old nephew escort my mother down the aisle, and my 6 yr old nephew escort his mom/my sister/MOH down the aisle. We skipped the ring part all together.

I just said something to my FH about our RB not carrying the rings and he seemed a little offended - so we will have them tied to a pillow and the BM can untie them when he gets to the altar

Grandmothers old bible with fake rings tied too it!

I made a ring box for my RB. SIMPLE and oh so cute!!!

My little brother is going to carry the real rings down the aisle but they are going to be tied to the pillow

When I was a ring bearer 40 years ago as a child, I distinctly remember a white pillow trimmed in lace, with 2 fake plastic gold rings permanently tied to a depression or slit in the center of the pillow.
I really HATE the sign idea.
Also, having him carry a briefcase or little how books also doesn't sit well with me.

Marriage is a lot about RECOGNIZING TRADITION . Your loved ones and those involved in the wedding will always remember the day, you don't want them remember weirdo wedding.
Besides, is "weird, strangeas different" really how you wish to start your life together as a new Bride?
Tradition is KEY. Respect it!
Note: your audience will understand the PRACTICAL reasons of fake rings being tied to pillow: There is NO shame in a child not being trusted with many thousands of dollars. BUT: Let him carry a traditional pillow.
People will respect that more than a goofy sign or over the top briefcase.
