New Styles in Boys Suits and Ring Bearer Tux

When you need your little ring bearer to be ready where do you start?
Well, lets go through our helpful guide and read along about the prep time for your ring bearer.



Ring bearers with rings
Need all the details about those little dudes who are in line to help with the wedding party? A young boy will traditionally play one or two roles:page or ring bearer. Pages will assist the bride with an extra-long train, while ring bearers bring the wedding rings (sometimes fakes that look like the wedding rings) to carry up to the altar in front or everyone to see.

Responsibilities

The ring bearer, traditionally a young gentleman aged five to eleven, walks down the aisle after the flower girls , with a pillow in his hands and two rings laced to it. With the thoughtful preparation not to misplace these rings sometimes the display rings are fakes.
After all with all the bustling and running around to prepare, should he step out sight for a moment to play, the rings may disappear and from the pillow and if these are just for show there won't be any last moment surprises.
However you choose to delagate the ring bearers duties, be sure he's told about his job ahead of time. It's a good idea to include him in any rehearsal, so the full implications of his duties (walking down an aisle all by himself with a hundred people watching) don't come as a big shock and he has time to prepare his nerves for his moment in the spot light.

Who to Choose?

You'll probably want to choose a young family member. Perhaps there is more than one young boy in the family. There is no rule that says there need be only one boy for the job, especially if he is very young it may be helpful to have a pertner to gain courage.  If you don't know any young boys, don't sweat it: Having a ring bearer is a great way to include young family members in your wedding ceremony, but a ring bearer isn't a necessity. In most cases, the best man will be holding the real rings anyhow.

What They Wear

There's a variety of style options for these little dudes. Check out our ring bearer's attire article for suggestions.
