Is it normal to have your kids as bridesmaids/groomsmen?

I don’t have kids, but my fiancé’s daughter is one of my bridesmaids. I don’t think it’s abnormal at all for couples who already have children to incorporate them into the wedding party, and especially since you have teens it makes sense that they’re filling those roles. I’m sure they’re super excited!

Traditionally, bridesmaids and groomsmen were single adults, but today anything goes. Personally, I think it's a wonderful way to include your older children. Ideally a flower girl is old enough to understand the role, so a toddler is a bit young, but if you keep it simple and think she'll be fine, or even play it by ear on the day I'm sure it will be great. I'm not sure what you mean by your children potentially finding the role a chore or helping you plan the wedding. That's not their job unless they are interested or you just mean keeping them in the loop. I wouldn't involve them in any bachelor or bachelorette party that involves a lot of drinking.

My son was 13 and my nephew was 12 and they were Jr. Groomsmen and my son walked me down the aisle. My daughter and my niece were 9 years old and they were Junior Bridesmaids and my daughter walked with my husband/groom (their stepdad) down the aisle. They absolutely loved being part of the party but we still had adults as bridesmaids and groomsmen. I don’t think there is anything wrong with how you are doing it. This is your day and you can do what you and your FH want to do.


Enjoy your day!!!

It is normal to have your children as a bridesmaid/groomsman. I had my son as a groomsman and my niece as a bridesmaid. They were 19 and 17 at the time that we got married. It is okay to have your children in your bridal party
