Quote:Originally Posted by sswed13 I think that's a great idea having them as such an important role for your FI. I don't think the picture would look unbalanced- it would be a symbol of your new family. Just think of how many bridal parties are formed because of friendships and the bond with the bride and groom and not based on the person's height. Would the boys prefer to sit during the ceremony? Maybe in the front row with their grandparents? And for pictures, maybe do all the immediate family portraits first and that way they will be interested and well behaved for those, and by the time pictures are taken with the friends group they may not necessarily be in those. These are all little suggestions that I hope can help you.

For my 7 year old step son to be, he too is very excited. He keeps asking "when are we going for the wedding?" And we'll tell him "7 months", his reply "that's a long time." So cute. We are going to be doing a sand ceremony to include him and also having a slide show including many pictures of us as a family. My FI and I were just recently discussing also including him in the cake cutting.Â

Good luck with your planning
Including them in the cake cutting is also great. Hmmm that is another option i might consider. Such great ideas.
