Flower Girl Question???

I booked the brides, the maid of honor, the bridesmaid (me)and the flower girl's hair appointments the other day. Well, the bride told me that I was to watch the flower girl who will be her step daughter. I told her no that I would not be able to because I will be getting my hair done. Should the maid of honor be watching the child or should she bring someone along to watch the flower girl? I feel her wanting me to do this is something that the maid or honor should do?





Any help would be appreciated.

Flower Girl Question???
Schedule a manicure as well as a hair appt for the flower girl so she'll be so busy she won't get into trouble. My 4 year old neice LOVES manicures (picking out the color, feeling like a grown-up). Plus she has to sit still while it dries!! This way you get to relax and avoid fighting over who has to watch her.
Reply:I dont think that it should be just one's responsibility. Make it fun and exciting and try to get her hair done the same time as everyone else. either that or get some one to come with. MOH or not it nots just one persons responsibility.
Reply:Everyone will watch the child as a group effort. it will be fine she will be happy that she is getting treated like a big girl. How about step grandma is she around maybe she can help.
Reply:If you booked all the appointments for you all to get your hair done you should have booked the bride and the soon to be step daughter (flower girl) at the same time then they would be done around the same time.
Reply:I can agree that you can't watch a child while you are getting your hair done.


How about this, let her go with you, have her hair first and then have Dad or grandad pick her up before she gets bored.
Reply:if i had a flower girl i would have it set up so that while you're getting your hair done have one of the other girls watch her and then when urs is done u can watch her
Reply:how old is the flower girl? It may not be a big deal. I think the grooms sisters (if he has one) could watch her, maybe the Aunt could get her hair done. I understand the need for the flower girl to be with "girls". I am going to be in the same situation and i could never ask someone who does not know my step child to watch over while getting their hair done. I am really close to my future step child who would never go to anyone else if i am around.
Reply:Hey. I can imagine how you feel. I work at a bridal shop and we hear stuff like this all the time. Why can't the bride watch her own step daughter? I understand she'll be stressed I was just there myself a few months ago but I feel that is unacceptable. It's def. not your job to watch her and it shouldn't be the MOH's responsibility either. The bride either needs to watch her herself, bring someone along to watch her, or make arrangements for someone to pick her up right after her hair is finished. Good Luck.
Reply:If the bride is going to be her step mother than she should watch her.





It is not your job or the maid of honor's job.
Reply:I wouldnt even worry about it.. Odd's are the salon will probably be booked for just your wedding party and a little kid in the mix wont even be a big deal. Unless this kid is some sort of trouble maker she'll probably be excited to be included in the whole event and be on good behavior. Just make sure that all of you know where she is at and keep an eye on her.
Reply:Someone else should be brought along like the brides mother or MIL to watch the child. That should not be your burden and it was rude of her to ask. It sounds like she is taking advantage of you, but it could be that the MOH is already doing so much she hates to ask her. Are your appts. staggered so that you guys can take turn keeping an eye on her? If not I would firmly tell her that you are having your hair done too and she needs to bring a non attendent to babysit.acting resources
