Are you including a ring bearer in your ceremony? A ring bearer walks in front of the flower girl carrying either your wedding rings or faux rings. He is usually from four to eight years old and has a special connection to the bride and groom. Dressed in a tuxedo to die for, this little man is always a special part of any wedding.
As he marches, strolls, or hesitantly walks down the aisle, your ring bearer carries a pillow of satin or silk. Today, pillows are available in all shapes and colors to coordinate with the theme of your wedding. In the past, ring bearers were responsible for carrying the train of the bride, but things have changed. Today, the ring bearer is not usually responsible for carrying the wedding rings, but if real rings are used, they are tacked to the pillow to avoid them rolling off. Most often, however, faux rings are used and the real rings are given to the Best Man for safekeeping.
Planning your wedding is time consuming and stressful. Choosing your attendants is important, so think it through and then give it a couple of days and look at your list. If you are still sure you’ve made the right decisions, ask your attendants to stand up at your wedding and make a checklist of what you expect, or need from each. After your list is complete, be sure to share it with your Best Man and Maid of Honor and ask for their help. Delegating, but overseeing, makes sure that your wedding turns out exactly the way you want it to turn out and that you have beautiful, warm and fuzzy memories that last a lifetime.
If you are having a ring bearer, be sure to start early looking for a tuxedo for this special attendant. There are many online wedding sites that carry special packages for the ring bearer, but don’t buy them too early…boys this age grow quickly! In most cases, the ring bearer’s mom is responsible for these items, but it never hurts to double check and let her know what is expected.
Be sure to select a special for your Ring Bearer for being a very special wedding attendant. This gift should remind him of this very special day. One unusual and sentimental gift we found was a silver medallion instructing the ring to save this keepsake and pass it down on his wedding day. If you are looking for something less sentimental, you might want to consider a personalized tee shirt, personalized silver bank, personalized silver mini-baseball bats and we have even seen personalized, silver yoyos. Items like this are best found on sites that cater to brides and have multiple gifts from which to choose.
