More Than Just Flower Girl Gifts

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

   Along with your bridesmaids, maid of honor, groomsmen and best man, there is two other very important people in your wedding party, your ring boy and your lovely flower girl.  I wanted to make sure they weren’t overlooked in any way. More and more these days children are becoming involved in weddings and play a very significant role in the ceremony. My little ring boy and flower girl did a fantastic job to help us make this wedding a thing of perfection. They worked very hard at their appointed tasks, and did such a great job, that I wanted to make them as comfortable and confident as I could.

   With all the wedding ceremony rehearsals, photography sessions and even during the reception, children can get just a little frustrated and bored. So I found a place that has so many great suggestions for little ring bearer and flower girl gifts that can make the process a whole lot easier.  There were activity books, coloring books, and other items that can help to curb their boredom and give them something to do while the adults are taking care of business.

   They both did such a wonderful job at the ceremony. My flower girl looked so adorable in her little dress and tiara as she walked down the aisle with her flower girl basket in hand. Our church doesn’t allow tossing rose petals or confetti on the aisles so we had her pass out a lovely red or white rose to each guest sitting on the end of the pews. That worked out just as well. The flower girl basket I chose for her was made of gold satin with chiffon bows, and was the perfect shape for the roses to lie in.

   My nephew, who was the ring bearer, wore an adorable little tux that made him like a little grown up. He was so handsome and he did a fantastic job carryng our ring pillow to the altar. I knew he was really nervous about his part in the ceremony. You could tell by the way he never took his eyes off the pillow. They both did such wonderful jobs and I wanted to show our appreciation by giving them the best I could find for ring bearer flower girl gifts.

   For our little ring bearer we bought a few things, like a child size ring bearer mug, a nice ring bearer tee shirt and a real cool yoyo. He really liked the yoyo the best, I do believe.  For our precious little flower girl, we bought her a mug and tee shirt and a beautiful necklace, with her name engraved on the back as a personalized flower girl gift.  

   At the reception everyone was having a fantastic time, dancing and enjoying great food. You should have seen our little couple out on the dance floor, holding hands as they tried to imitate the adults. They were so cute. I got several pictures of them dancing together, and I even caught one of the flower girl giving the ring boy a little kiss on the cheek. They looked just like a miniature bride and groom. They were so adorable.

   The ceremony went very well and the reception was a total success, everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time and with all the wonderful wedding gifts we got, it will take me forever to send out all the thank you notes. I sent out thank you cards for all my bridesmaids, the groomsmen, maid of honor and best man for helping to make our wedding so perfect, and a special thank you cards to our ring bearer and flower girl.
