Do you have a special little lady that is too old to stand in as your flower girl and too young to be one of your bridesmaids (typically between the ages of 9 and 14) but still want her to play part in your wedding? Well, think about promoting her as one of your junior bridesmaids. Although younger in age, junior bridesmaids often take on their role with great seriousness and are eager to engage with their elders.
According to The Knot, there are a handful of traditional junior bridesmaid duties that must be fulfilled:
- While junior bridesmaids are not expected to give showers, they should plan to attend and help out with cleaning up, favor-making, and more.
- At bride's request, go wedding gown shopping and give input (especially if the junior bridesmaid is a sister or daughter).
- Buy a dress similar (or the same) in color and style to the bridesmaids', plus a matching corsage (or bouquet).
- Attend the ceremony rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
- Help out the ushers by seating guests.
- Hand out programs at the ceremony or bubbles, confetti, rice, and other send-off props afterwards.
- Walk down the aisle in the procession, and stand at the altar/stage along with the other attendants.
- Stand in the receiving line, if requested by the bride.
- Write to the bride and her parents to thank them for including her.
