Entourage and guest list questions

[sevangelista]

important ba na may bible bearer sa mga abay na bata? kasi ang alam ko lang coin and ring bearer lang un kelangan but un mga nababasa ko may bible, rosary, etc bearers pa.. TIA!

[caleeice]

^Depends on you. We won't have one. We want our best man to carry the bible. We'll have a ring and coin bearer though

[belle_v2g]

We're having a ring, coin and a bible bearer which is quiet normal for Christian weddings.

Thanks sis caleeice! I checked rin kasi un invitation ng parents ko (picture lang, and early 1980s pa ito) and ng cousin ko who got married more than a decade ago, and they only had coin and ring bearers. Gusto ko lang sana isama are the roles na kelangan lang talaga sa mga kiddie abays.

may age limit ba sa coin/ring/bible bearer and flower girls? gusto ko sana medyo matanda na para sure na maglalakad. i hate it when kids dont walk the aisle and their parents have to carry them all the way to the front. nakakasira ng moment and entourage photos

[caleeice]

I don't think there's an age limit. Up to you, really. Probably get those old enough to walk on their own but not too old to be considered as "junior bridesmaids/groomsmen". We'll have eight-year olds. Hehe. We don't like having very young ones as well. Further, our Church explicitly stated that ring/coin bearers and flower girls should at least be 5 years old.

[sevangelista]

hi sis bzbee, from what I know, there's only a minimum age na imposed.

[belle_v2g]

^hi sisses! I remember mentioning here somewhere that my flower girls are actually teenagers. But my ring bearers are old enough nman na to walk and won't need assistance of parents..  Our little groom would be our 5 yr old son.ayoko din ng super baby. That's why we chose to have older flower girls kase we don't have any little girls on both sides.. actually meron pala pero super baby pa..same tayo sis.. ayoko ng panira sa aisle lol!

Mga sis question. Required ba na may coin bearer? gusto ko kasi bible bearer and ring bearer lang sana.

[sevangelista]

Hi sis juwie, during the ceremony, mine-mention ang arrhae and ring. Un bible un hindi. So, naisip ko na optional un bible, just like un mga rosary, veil bearers.

[fionaapple]

^ to be sure, ask the church where you will be wed, if it is a Catholic wedding. sa format ng missalette ng church namin binebless lahat yung rings, arrhae and bible. siguro may kanya-kanyang rules ang church about this.

[juwie]

Hello mga sis, thanks sa pag reply. I asked our officiating priest sabi nya hindi required. Pero I will still ask our Church kasi yung priest na kukunin namin hindi yung bigay ng simbahan. Relative namin yung priest na kukunin namin (Fr. Elis Santos).

hi juwie, we won't have a coin bearer, the arrhae will be brought by my husband's brother ^_^

[juwie]

^ sis, thanks sa tip! Pwede pala yun. Or maybe I can endorse the arrhae to my bible or ring bearer tapos sa kanya na lang kukunin or sya na mismo mag bbring forward kapag ibbless na ng priest. thank you ulit!

[120515]

hi juwie, you're welcome :-)
we actually don't have any kids on the entourage - no flower girls, no bearers of anything

[maukris]

Okay lang mga sis that grade 5 na sa october yung bible bearer namin? Kasi 1st nephew sya ni h2b kaya gusto talga nya isama.

[belle_v2g]

^sis ok lang yon..

[tan.denise54]

You can also ask your ninang if ok lang sa kanya yun. But I don't see any problem with that. Hehe

question/s mga sis..

required ba na may kapartner ang principal sponsors sa pag-march?
meron kase kaming tita/ninang na manggagaling overseas tapos dapat ang partner nya is yung husband nya kaso baka si tita lang ang makauwi.
alangan kase ako na hanapan ng proxy yung husband kase the rest ng ninong/ninang namen ay mag-asawa talaga pero parang awkward din kung paglalakarin ko sya mag-isa..
if ever, ok lang ba na yung proxy eh cousin na binata? para at least may degree of familiarity pa din...?

[f878]

thanks for the input sis tan.denise54!

on a side note, i didn't know na some churches impose age limits for flower girls and bearers pala.
christian wedding naman kame so i hope ok lang sa officiating minister namin na less than 5 yrs old.
kinuha kase namin na flower girls & bearers yung mga inaanak namin eh 90% ata sa kanila less than 5. wala na din kase kameng makuhang iba na medyo older. i know medyo hassle siguro paglakarin at habulin pero ang cute talaga eh. haha!

[smile22]

^ i think hindi required na may bible/coin bearer. basta importante may arrhae and ring kayo, (bible optional)

in my case... all my FGs and bearers are ages 3-6. Hindi pwedeng hindi sila ang bearers and FG, kasi tag i tagisa kami ng anak ng 2 brothers ko. And tag i tagisa din ng anak si hubby and his 2 sisters. So lahat ng bearers and FG is mga pamangking buo namin ni hubby, plus baby namin.

pagkatapos mag walk ng mga bearers sa aisle, inabot nila yung arrhae, ring and bible to the best man and MOH. Nung part na ng blessing ng arrhae, bible and ring... si bestman and MOH ang lalapit sa harapan. basically to avoid na din, yung mga bata na hindi pumupunta sa harapan or bibitbitin pa ng nanay nila. si father ang nagsabi nito, nung wedding rehearsals.
