    Hi lads/ladies,

    Really need your help/advice here. I am getting married next year. I have 4 nieces(Ages 12,9,5,3) and i would really like them to be involed in the wedding as we are both the youngest and last to get married in our familes.

    We are planning on asking the older two to say a prayer of the faithful but have no ideas for the younger two?

    We already have a flower girl(our god child- non family member)

    Any ideas ?

    Maybe handing mass booklets to people as they come in or bring something up during the offectory procession.

    They are both a little young to do anything.

    What gifts are brought up apart from the bread and wine? is this usually done by the mothers of the bride and groom?

    Add on some more gifts representing the participants.
    • 1 gift representing the bride
    • 1 gift representing the groom
    • 1 gift representing the bride's family
    • 1 gift representing the groom's family

    To help the guests, explain their significant in the booklet.

    3/5 year old, flower girls/pageboys. Older children can be a junior bridesmaid or read a prayer at prayer of the faithful.Mother of bride/groom usually bring offertory gifts. It is frowned on in many places to have extra bits and pieces at the offertory, so you could have them bring them up at the start of the ceremony. They could bring candle and flowers for the altar at the start of mass.
