Brides Often Ask

What does the ring bearer do during the ceremony?
Ring bearers deliver the wedding rings to honor the cross-cultural tradition of presenting symbols of marriage to the bride and groom.
Do ring bearers walk down the aisle?
Ringer bears walk down the aisle to perform their duty but will take a seat next to their parents instead of standing with the party.
Questions To Ask Before Choosing Ring Bearer
Choosing a ring bearer needs to be a positive experience for everyone involved, including yourself. There are a few things to consider while deciding on who your ring bearer will be. These next tips will help you understand how to go about your selection process.
Who Should Be A Ring Bearer?
There's no actual rule but if you are following tradition, ring bearers are usually the son of a close friend or family member. You'll need the parents' help as well as their permission, and it's a bit of a sentimental role. So, make sure that everyone will appreciate the ring bearer proposal.
What Is A Good Age For A Ring Bearer?
The typical age range for a ring bearer is 4 to 10 years old. You shouldn't reject someone because they are shy or easily overwhelmed, but in an ideal world ring bearers should possess the qualities needed to walk the rings down the aisle without getting distracted by the audience too much.
Can I Have 2 Ring Bearers?
It's perfectly fine to issue a ring bearer proposal to more than one person. Your two ring bearers can be of mixed ages and do not have to come from the immediate family. It's all really up to you.
