Who Is the Ring Bearer?
The Ring Bearer should be a small boy between the ages of 3 and 7. He can be a close relative or the son of a close friend.
What Is His Role?
The Ring Bearer's main responsibility is to carry the rings on a satin pillow and tied securely with a ribbon. It is generally not a good idea to allow him to carry the real rings. Most couples have him carry fake rings instead.
The Ring Bearer walks down the aisle immediately after the Flower Girl before the Bride. Sometimes he walks with the Flower Girl.
The Ring Bearer and The Rehearsal
Although the Ring Bearer needs to be at the Rehearsal he does not attend the Rehearsal Dinner.
The Ring Bearer and The Receiving Line
In addition, the Ring Bearer does not stand in the receiving line.
What Does He Wear?
Ring Bearers usually wear an outfit that is specifically designed for Ring Bearers but some wear little tixedos. Click here to read my article specifically about dressing the Ring Bearer.
The Ring Bearer's Parents Responsibilities
The Ring Bearer's parents should be responsible for paying for his attire and they should also attend to him after the wedding ceremony.
The Bride and Groom's Responsibilities
The Bride and Groom are responsible for buying the satin pillow.

My fiance and I have two children whom will be my beautiful flower girls. There is no way I would not allowed to be at the reception. I want them to dance with us when the bride and groom dance. They are just as important in this event as the groom and I. Of course the nannies and the uncles will be there when we need a break but to have them sitting at home watching TV or sleeping during this joyous occasion is crazy. They will be 4 and 14 months at the wedding. Too cute!

I think it is perfictly ok not to have children at a reception. There is usually a lot of alcohol flowing at these things and you cant control the amount that someone consumes or how they act. Suggestion: hire a nanny for the night that all your guests can use. Put them in another room or someones home nearby. Children should not be exposed to drunks. Kids are great but may not be great at a reception. They probably would be bored anyway or get tired and cranky if it is an evening wedding. It also adds to the cost in the head count (they dont have a kiddie menu).

My fiance wants his 12-year old cousin to serve as the ring bearer. I don't mind this at all, in fact I think it's sweet b/c his at one point in his life, he rasied his cousin. I also thought that it would meaningful for his cousin b/c he would feel special and remember his special role in our day, rather than a four year old, who would probably be too afraid to walk down the aisle and not even undersand the significance of the day. Neither one of us have any little boys in our family and we don't want to simply "borrow" someone's kid to play this role. However, most people that I have mentioned this to think its weird to have a "big" boy serve as the ring bearer. Any comments?

I agree. What a terrible thing to do to anyone, especially a child. What kind of message does this send? That he's not good enough to celebrate with his family. If your children are such a burden, why did you have them?

My son is a ring bearer in my SIL's wedding and he just staying through cocktail hour and the introduction of the wedding party and then he's going home to bed! Personally, I want to have fun at the wedding reception and who wants to be chasing around a little boy all night - especially when it'll be way past his bedtime!
BTW, he was invited to the reception but my husband and I are choosing to have my mother stay with him for the reception so we can have fun!
