Is 27 Too Old To Be A Flower Girl?

My girl friend asked me to be her flower girl in her wedding, b/c she only has 3 escorts for the other 3 bridesmaids, and she really wants me to be a part of her wedding. So she asked me to be the flower girl....i am 27 years old. I said yes, but i don`t really know how i feel about the idea. I want to be a part of the wedding, and i don`t want to hurt her feelings in anyway. I just feel a bit silly....any thoughts?

Hi. Is this a joke? I hope so.

OF COURSE, 27 is too old!! Hasn`t your friend ever been to a wedding? That would be so ridiculous. I post on many wedding sites....so tell your friend...she doesn`t need to have an equal number of bridesmaids and groomsmen. If there is 1 more groomsman than bridesmaid either (1) one bridesmaid could walk with two groomsmen; or (2) the best man can come out and stand with the groom at the beginning of the ceremony.

But, DON`T let her make you a flower girl!!

Flower Girls are usually around the ages of 3-9 ( young girls )

When they get close to the age of being "Tweens" then usually they are made Jr. Bridesmaids ages of about 10-12

You are way to old to be a flower girl :)

I have to agree with the other posts. Although the lines ar blurrier in today`s wedding than of weddings of the past, 27 is just a bit too old to go walking down the aisle sprinkling rose petals.

There is nothing wrong with having one more bridesmaid than groomsman.

Umm...yeah, you`re waaaay too old to be a flower girl. All I could do was laugh when I read this. Sorry, but it was just funny and ridiculous that your friend suggested that.

I agree with the above posters. Your friend should be embarrassed for even suggesting it. There are tons of other ways to include you in the wedding (i.e. Do a reading, MC the reception, man the guestbook, or if you are musically inclined, perform at the ceremony or reception.)
