This really depends on your personal comfort level and vision for your wedding!
As a child, I was one of 24 flower girls in a family friend''s wedding (almost every little girl in our congregation). It was a BLAST! I remembered that so well .... everyone talked about it for years! So much, fun, that I did the same thing for our wedding. We included all of the little girls that we knew fairly well .... and ended up with two "lead" flower girsl that wore white (my little sister and my niece), eight flower girls that wore bridesmaids colors (avg age 5-7), and 4 junior bridesmaids. One regular bridesmaid, one maid of honor. Strangely enough, we didn''t even think about a ring bearer (I guess that would have become complicated, LOL!).
It was exactly what I had been dreaming of from the time I was a little girl, and everything turned out perfectly!! We had so much fun, and all of the little girls that were in the wedding still keep in touch 11 years later. It was also a wonderful way to make many of our freinds feel involved in the wedding. We kept the cost of the dresses very reasonable and many of the Mom''s helped make the flower girl dresses.
The very idea of that many little kids participating in a ceremony might just send some personalities right over the edge ... it''s not for everyone, but we would not change a thing about that aspect of our wedding.
It''s YOUR wedding, you get ONE chance .... do what *you* want to do, what makes you the happiest. Not whats best logistaclly, but what makes you happiest! HTH,
