The Ring Bearer is not an absolutely necessary part of the wedding party but it’s a cute addition nonetheless. Carrying the rings couldn't be a more important job. Traditionally the job of a little one carrying the rings on a cushion.

What are the duties of the Ring Bearer?
The ring bearer is traditionally a young boy of between four to eight years of age. He walks down the aisle just before the flower girl (if there is one), carrying a pillow with two rings tied to it. The rings are often fake ones in order to avoid accidents and to ensure that the ceremony can proceed smoothly.

No matter what you choose the ring bearer to carry, be sure he's that he knows about his task of the day way ahead of time. It's probably best to include him in the rehearsal dinner, so that he has time to get used to the idea and is around the rest of the wedding party.

Who to Choose?
You'll probably want to choose a young family member. Perhaps your first or second cousins already have children? You can also choose a godchild or a family friend. If you don't know any young boys don’t worry, having a ring bearer isn’t an absolute necessity for the wedding party.

What They Wear
Ring Bearers are usually dressed in a style that suits the overall wedding theme. A formal wedding might see a mini tuxedo or mini tail coat. If it’s a Summer wedding, a linen suit might be more appropriate.
