While it’s true that bridesmaids and groomsmen probably contribute much more to helping a wedding run smoothly, the bridal party’s smallest members provide a cuteness factor that can’t be beat. Who doesn’t emit an audible sigh of adoration as they watch a tiny flower girl or ring bearer making their way down the aisle, often doing something other than what they’re supposed to be doing? And how cute they look in all those wedding photos!

While these little ones can sometimes be a handful, they certainly do add something special to the bridal party so it’s always essential to honor them with a special gift they’ll long treasure. Personalized items are a terrific idea. What kid doesn’t love receiving a gift emblazoned with his or her name? And there are so many different personalized gifts from which to choose.

Young ring bearers might enjoy something related to sports, like a personalized baseball bat or baseball or a bag in which to carry their gear. The littlest of ring bearers can also be rewarded with silver-plated banks or other similar items.

Flower girls often love just about anything that shines and sparkles. So, for her, consider personalized necklaces or bracelets, perhaps similar to those that are being presented to the women in the bridal party. That will make her feel “grown up.” She might also enjoy a pretty pink bag for overnight trips to a friend’s house or even an attractive frame bearing her name and her official title as “flower girl.” It’s the perfect place for her favorite wedding picture and a convenient reminder of that special day.
