How do I include all 5 nieces in the wedding/ceremony?

Maybe cute signs...2 flower girls and 3 with signs. They could walk out right before you

Or these..they are about $20 on most wedding sites

Maybe have the 14 year old pull the 1.5 year old in a wagon. You could put a sign on the wagon. Then have the other three have flowers? Or if you don't have a ring bearer, the 9 year old could carry the rings and the 7 & 5 year old could have flowers. 5 FGs is a lot, but there are ways to mix it up to include them all.

Keep in mind, the 14 year old might prefer to be excluded. But maybe she could carry the 1.5 year old or pull her in a wagon, like RJmargo suggested.

Can the 14 year old doing a reading or something like that?

The 9 year old could pull the 1 1/2 year old in the wagon and they can be flower girls (it's super cute, my sister did that at her wedding!!). Then the 5 and 7 year olds could be ring bearers, each could carry one ring.

Just a couple ideas :-)

My sister and I always were the ones to hand out the programs. Made us feel special but it wasn't any real responsibility. Another can do a reading. You can give another the responsibility of holding your flowers during the vows or during pictures. Just small things to make them feel important.

Agree with Private User -- have them be "ushers" / hand out programs at the beginning of the ceremony. It's always nice to be greeted by a cute kid.

We're doing a mini wedding party....it's kind of our back door for inviting the kids we want there without having to invite all 60 of the cousins children. My daughter will be 14, so she's a jr. bridesmaid, but everyone else from age 9 down to age 3 will have little mini bouquets (or I'm considering giving them just one little peony to carry) and be in matching dresses like a smaller bridal party. The two smallest will be the ring bearer and flower girl.

I have four niece who will range from 10 to 3 at the time of the wedding and they'll all be flower girls since I didn't want junior bridesmaids either. They're all going to wear different dresses since the same dress probably wouldn't look cute on the 10 year old and the 3 year old and my bridesmaids will all be in different dresses too. I think the older two (10 & 6) will carry small bouquets and walk down the aisle alone while the younger two (3 & 4) will have flower crowns and they'll walk together with our ring bearer (2) in between them. That way the older two will feel a little more important, but they'll all be included.

At my cousin's wedding last summer, the little cousins all held bells of different notes, so as the bride approached they rang the bells. I think for the 1.5 yo, you have to be flexible and realize that she might not want to participate, and you won't be able to tell until the ceremony starts. I agree that the 14 yo might prefer to be a reader or something.

Sorry if this is weird to post a video of it, but it's hard to describe so here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ckjohns/20377727835/in/album-72157656854216586/

ETA: if they were all part of your sister's wedding, what were their roles there? Do you think it's too weird if they do the same things again?

Do you want to have them all in the wedding? I actually have tons of little kids in my family--between my FH's neices and nephew, my cousin's little kids--FH's cousins little kids... and probably all want to be included. But there's no fair way to include them all. :/ So we aren't having any children in the ceremony. I've had two of the little girls ask me if they could be my flower girl, and I told them that weren't having a flower girl.

It was hard, and they were a little sad at the time. But I don't want to choose between so many little kids and piss off some parents. Or stress over figuring out how to incorporate them all.

I'm having the same issue. By the time of our wedding I will have a 20 year old nephew, 19,14,12, and 10 and half year old niece... We are using the youngest niece (3) as our flower girl and youngest nephew (2 and half) as our ring bearer. I'm sure the 20 and 19 year old won't mind it's just the 14,12, and 10 and half year old to worry about.
