The Junior Bridesmaids

A junior bridesmaid is young girl between the ages of nine and fourteen, too old to be a flower girl yet to young to be a full-fledged bridesmaid. 

Here is a list of all of the traditional duties and responsibilities of the junior bridesmaids…

  • Attend and help the other bridesmaids with the bridal shower (The junior bridesmaids should not be expected to contribute financially to the bridal shower.)
  • Attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner
  • Walk in the processional and stand at the altar along with the other attendants
  • Hand out programs at the ceremony (optional)
  • Pass out bubbles, confetti, rice, or other send-off props
  • Stand in receiving line (optional)

If the junior bridesmaid is the bride's own child, here are some special ways to incorporate her in the ceremony:

  • Walk the bride down the aisle and stand with her at the altar
  • Read a poem or other passages
  • Perform an instrument or sing a song during the ceremony
  • Participate in a "family vows" exchange (After the couple exchanges vows, the kids gather around, and the bride and groom promise to care for the other's children.)

Wedding Attire:
A junior bridesmaid should wear a dress similar to or matching the bridesmaids'. The junior bridesmaid's parents should pay for all of her wedding attire.
