We originally said no to flower girl/ring bearer because we aren't inviting any 2nd cousins to our wedding which are all the young children in our family that would fit the role and also because I didn't want the extra couple hundred dollars in clothes and accessories. But my mom recently offered to pay for all of their stuff if we did have them and she thinks my officiant's 6 yr old daughter and 5 year old son would be cute for the role.
Our officiant is a pastor at our church so we do see him and his kids every week but I'm not super close with his kids its more like "oh look there's their cute kids", so I'm not sure if they would just be props in that case.
At other people's weddings I always find the flower girl/ring bearer cute to watch and fun to dance with at the reception, but I'm not sure if they would just add more stress for me to think about in my own wedding?
They would also be the only children at the wedding.
Any thoughts or pros/cons here?
