Looking for ways to incorporate your favorite young people into your wedding? Typically between the ages of 10 -14, junior attendants can take on many responsibilities and most would be glad to do so!

Some roles and responsibilities often include: gift attendant, guestbook attendant, usher, program attendant and personal attendant. Junior bridesmaids and junior groomsmen are usually part of the wedding party and walk down the aisle. Their attire (dress and shoes, etc.) should be more reserved and age-appropriate. And, other than not attending late night parties or questionable activities, they can be invited to plan and attend all other parties related to the wedding i.e. showers, rehearsal dinner, etc.

Say thank you! Gush on them; let them know how much you appreciate them being a part of your celebrated day! Young tweens and teens love games, jewelry, music, clothes, posters, movies, etc. Friends are really important at these ages. Give appropriate gifts that they can relate to i.e. iTunes gift cards, CDs, DVDs, trendy store gift cards, picture frames, room accessories… they’ll love it!
