This was a tough call.
are expensive, y'all! We know it's selfish, and that there's a possibility an invited parent may not be able to make it because their kids are excluded, but everyone tells you that wedding planning is the one time you can be selfish, so we are running with it on this one point.Our first choice for a flower girl was a no-brainer.
Not to mention, I'd had a ring bearer in mind for the better part of 10 years. In my early 20s, I was a nanny for a family with a little boy, and six years later, I'm still extremely close with him and his family, which now includes his two younger sisters. I helped raise him for the years I was with them, and in many ways, it feels like having a surrogate son walk down the aisle.
Then, we decided we'd ask the older of our ring bearer's two little sisters — who was born while I was still working for the family — to be our other flower girl. But again, I was faced with the issue of asking one child and not another, so their baby sister, who's a toddler, is going to be invited regardless.
We made the difficult decision to include those kids who we have particularly close connections to, despite them not being blood relations, meaning that none of our little cousins will be there to see us get married if we want to keep our celebration childless apart from the wedding party. We've yet to share this information with anyone but our parents , but I think our aunts and uncles. Though, maybe they won't be, and we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I've never wanted to be a bridezilla, but to that thought, I say, they freakin' better not give me sh*t.
