We are having only one flower girl, and it’s always been planned that way. I say that because my MOH Lena wanted us to use her daughter as one, too. While we do love her daughter Sydney (my future niece), our wedding party is so small that having two flower girls would be silly. I thought maybe I should get Sydney a wreath as well, so she doesn’t feel left out. Then I thought that might make Maggie, our flower girl, a little less special. Not to mention Sydney’s little brother Jeremy always wants what Sydney has, so that makes an additional wreath (seriously he’d want one). And because three of Mr. Kiwi’s nieces/nephews will have flowers, we’d have to give flowers to the other nephew, our ring bearer’s older brother.
Does this make sense? Should I just get Sydney a little flower bracelet or something? Or just give Maggie the flowers and the other nieces/nephews something special to show they are also loved?
I pretty much have the same dillema. Only I have 8 nieces and 5 nephews. Of course I’m having a flower girl - but is eight too many? Haha.. I’m ridiculous. But really, my family has told me over and over that it’s my wedding and I can do what I want. If I want all 8 of my adorable nieces to be flower girls, then that’s what I should have.
Uh, what was I saying?
I think a flower bracelet would be nice. Because I know little kids, they always want what the other kid has.
i have to agree with weezermonkey…the special stuff serves for those in the wedding. sure the kids will pout for a bit but they’ll be fine in a few minutes. it makes life a lot easier.
How big of a deal would it be to just have two flower girls? Is that completely out of the question? If not that might be easier and nobody feeling get hurt and nobody feels left out. Also it depends on the age of the girls too. If they are like 7ish and under they may feel left out but any older than that they should be able to have it explained to them that you love them but they are not in the wedding.
despite your small wedding party, it’d be fine to have two flower girls, IMO. then you can get both something.
if you don’t make her a flower girl, i don’t think you get her anything.
I think it would be cute to have two flower girls even if the wedding is small. Children are so adorable and I can only imagine how special the little girl would feel. In my opinion, the more the merrier.
How about a special gift that includes something for them to do during the wedding? ie. a coloring book plus crayons? I’m not sure how long your wedding ceremony is going to last but kids get bored FAST and then they get loud and disruptive. Two flower girls would be awfully cute, but that adds expense and then what about the other kids?
I think you should have the two flower girls! I know how you feel: What’s the big deal, it’s my wedding, and I want my main flower girl to feel special. But this is your future neice. In addition, it seems as if you are using the it’s a small wedding party as an excuse…Sorry:-). Flowergirls don’t count in the small wedding party equation. I think you should have the two flowergirls. If you choose not to, don’t puchase the other girl anything. Good Luck!
But then again, this is coming from someone who would love to have a ton of flower girls in her wedding. I only have two- I wanted three.
I agree with everyone who said gifts should be for those who are in the wedding party. However, it might be a good idea to have some kids’ activities, like coloring books, to keep the little ones entertained.
We have a small wedding party (one attendant each), so we decided not to have a FG or RB. It is up to you if you want to include your future niece. Do it because you want to, though, and not because you feel pressured.
When I was three or four my aunt got married, and she didn’t have a flower girl or ring bearer. But because I was the only, or one of the only neice she gave me like a daisy. I think it was a nice, and basically cheap, gesture.

We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
