Is it too wierd to have a FLOWER BOY instead of a FLOWER girl?

I know it sounds WIERD and nothing is for sure BUT, The flower girl for my sister's wedding is not going to be able to attend the wedding and believe or not, we don't know ANY OTHER GIRLS! =( So now we are out of a FLOWER girl, We have 2 boys available, One will be the ring bearer and the other one i guess can hold the tail to her dress.. BUT is it too WIERD if one of the boys is THE FLOWER BOY? I mean is there something else that he can throw instead of PETALS? At this point, we might not even have a FLOWER girl so is it WRONG to not have a FLOWER girl at all?? Please give us some advice.. NO DUMB answers please. This wedding is in 2 weeks!

Children are children........boy or girl can be a flower or ring child..........Some people use their pets. It is Sisters Day...she can have any one do anything.





The other little boy will be so excited that he is asked to be part of the wedding..............He can toss the petals...just think who gives females flowers.......MALES.....find a female tween or teen to hold the dress.......The more children involved.....the better they will enjoy the wedding.....and the guests will enjoy watching the children too......Teens also enjoy helping the elderly to their seats at the wedding.......or any occasion.....





Children love to be involved.........they like that extra special attention.......When doing a pre-practice with them first without the adults.......then take them to a special after practice favorite burger or pizza place and for ice cream.........they will be great additions to the wedding.





Enjoy the wedding and the children involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:whoa, calm down. first of all, why would it be wierd to have a flower boy? oh no, you're not going to be EXACTLY like everyone elses wedding! the horror! that also answers your other question: yes, it's ok to not have a flower girl, not everyone has one. and lastly, if you do have a flower boy, WHY would you need to change what he's going to be carrying? unless you're teaching the little boys in your family that they should be a macho tough guy stereotype and carrying flowers is forbidden because someone might think they're GAY! oh no!
Reply:A wedding certainly does not NEED to have a flower girl or ring bearer at all. (I am not close to any little kids at the moment, so we're foregoing them entirely.)





If you really want someone scattering flower petals, however, I see nothing wrong with having a flower boy - just so long as you aren't planning on cross-dressing him to look like a girl (believe it or not, there was a woman on here last month planning to do that...!).





Whichever choice you make will be fine. Have a great wedding! =)
Reply:As long as you don't put him in a dress and try and pass him off as a girl, I don't see any problem with it. And yes, people have done that...





But me, personally, I would skip it. I've been to a lot of wedding were the flower girl didn't even throw any petals down, she just ran straight down the aisle. I've seen it skipped before, it's fine. If your sister wants petals then she can have a bridesmaid or someone scatter the petals. Or have them already scattered before the ceremony begins...
Reply:Right you cant call him a flower boy or birdesmaid, thats just not fair on the poor boy haha.


However at my aunties wedding i was a bridesmaid holding the trail of her gown along with two bos in lovely tux's...


PAIGEBOYS


Thats what they are called, and it is more traditional to have a bridesmaid and a paigeboy than a flowergirl anyways, so go for having a paigeboy and just dont make him chuck anything, unless he is younger, and then he can chuck confetti :D

Reply:If the child is ok with it...if his parents are ok with it


Then I'd say it's fine!


If he can choose what type of flowers (or maybe NOT flowers, but something else to brighten the pathway for the bride!).


I would say roses for a boy to carry, but maybe that is the "standard" flower to begin with...





Just don't worry about it, really. Just another one of those things that make that particular wedding as "memorable"!

Reply:i say don't do it to the kid. and if you do definitely don't call him "flower boy." or at least ask him if he wants to. i was made to wear this embarasing dress and be flower girl when i was like 11 and i hated it. my parents made me for some cousin or something. but i was too old for the dress and the job and i hated it. so if he wants to, then okay. but ask him first.
Reply:Not at all.





Its your wedding. If the boy will be glum and does not want to do it, don't. My niece did that and it ruined the parts of the video she was in.





Everyone in the ceremony needs to be excited to be participating. If not leave them out. Make a roll for everyone who will be excited to make it a beautiful wedding.
Reply:it is your sisters wedding. there are no rules set that have to have weddings a certain way, so does it matter what other peoples opinions are?! not at all, this is your sisters special day, so she should have it in a wonderful way, that in 50 years, she can look back and say, "my wedding was just as i wanted it, and id have it no ther way."





tell her this so she wont have regrets later
Reply:It would probably be better to NOT have a "flower girl" especially if its a boy... carrying the train of her dress idea sounds cute.. I would go with that for the one boy and a ring bearer with the other boy..





Anything else (boy being a flower person.. :S) completely WEIRD and really not cute at all.. sorta lame.. sorry but just my opinion
Reply:I dont think it would be wierd, although an alternative to the flowers would be a "white carpet". My cousin had two little boys roll out this white, lacy fabric just before she came down the isle. it was really pretty. each of the boys grabbed ahold to one end walked side by side pulling out the fabric (it is rolled up).
Reply:Don't get mad at this but...








ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Don't do that to they poor little boy what did he do to you LOL! That will affect his life forever LOL! Just don't have anyone be a flower person. I am having a ring boy and no flower girl because I dont know any little girls.
Reply:You can have a flower boy if you want. Or two ring bearers (one ring/pillow each). Or they can just walk down the aisle, holding nothing, and looking cute. That's their only real purpose, anyway .





And it's "weird." Not "wierd."
Reply:It's a wedding and they are meant to be fun:) And nothing is weird do what you like, I think it's a sweet thing IF the boy agrees to it, most youngsters don't care. It's different but it's okay either way.





I say go for it!
Reply:you can have anything you want. if you feel comfortable enough to have a boy go down the aisle with flowers, then so be it. its your wedding. i think its unique. congratulations.
Reply:That is up to your sister. If she wants to have a boy do it, I wouldn't think twice about it. He will look adorable. I can't think of anything else he could throw. It's not wrong to not have flower "person" either.
Reply:lol you know what he could to, this is cute, he could throw petals and hands roses to some of the women he walks by, so its cute and not to feminen.
Reply:I would never do that to a little boy....imagine his embarassment years down the road when the wedding pix are pulled out.....you don't need a flower girl anyway, the ring boy is enough.
Reply:As long as the boy doesn't mind, then I think it would be a great idea for the 2 boys to be in the wedding. Go for it!
Reply:Equality for the sexes! This is going to be an equal opportunity wedding. It will be sweet and memorable for its uniqueness.
Reply:If the boy is young enough it's actually kind of cute!








You could have him throw rice...but flower petals are much cuter!


I think it's ok for a little boy to do it.
Reply:ummmm, i would say that it would be fine. if you dont want them throwing flowers, try rice, thats what they do at Jewish weddings and sometimes just as as replacement of flowers. good luck!
Reply:I think it would be very nice to have a flower boy... either way having kids in the wedding turns out great. (he might be a little embarrassed though if you call it flower boy.. so maybe make up another name for him)
Reply:this is 2008 and I think everything goes now. Plus how can your guest be against a child doing you the honors. As long as you dont care than thats all that matters I also would stick to the flower petals
Reply:Perhaps he could hand out long stem roses to the ladies on the aisle. A little more "manly" than dropping petals along the path.
Reply:I second its your wedding so do whatever you feel its your day.


Congratulations BTW.
Reply:that might not be a good idea, considering how that little boy's friends will never let him live it down... lol





I suggest a flower *maiden* such as a teen aged cousin =)





congrats!!
Reply:No, of couse not! Flower boys are just as good, and a flower boy would be so cute too!
Reply:Just don't do it. Skip having a flower girl and just go with the ring bearer.
Reply:yes, the universe will implode
Reply:In San Francisco it would be normal.puppy teeth
