she's not to young. my grand son was only 2 at the time his mom and dad got married and was the ring boy he was great. give her a chance before you just toss the thought aside.

My aunt had a honorary dress made... one like her wedding dress for her youngest... or you could do a flower girl dress.... and then flowergirls by plenty! The 4 year old can probably help the 2 year old with the walking down the isle.... If you think it won't work I have a 2 year old... As long as she is in pictures as part of the newly married family don't worry about it.

Both of my nieces were in my wedding, and they were 2 & 3. They were absolutely gorgeous & so cute! I'm sure that 2 years old is not too young. If anything, they added cuteness to my wedding, and they had a very special part as flower girls!
Any younger than 2, and I would worry.
Good luck!

No, she isn't too young. Being part of the wedding will mean a lot to her, especially later on in life. She will feel that she was always a part of you two getting together when she sees the pictures of her up there later. I would make sure that someone older takes responsibility for her during the ceremony to make sure that she follows the right path and stays where she needs to be.

Put her in the wedding! She can walk by 2, so I say take your chances and let her walk down the aisle with a basket of flowers. How cute! (or what a nightmare depending on the temperment of your step daughter!) But I would take the risk and do it

Personally I think she's too young. She will sense all the nervousness & excitement & might behave in a way, you nor her father appreciate. EXPECT a fit of tears, especially during the ceremony. I've conducted ceremonies where the bride has had to hold her child. :)
If Grandma or someone else can hold your daughter during this time & entertain her, that would be great. Then after you & her father exchange vows have her join you. You can promise to her, give her a necklace, have a sand ceremony or be introduced as a new family. Talk to your officiant.

It depends on your ceremony style and how well behaved the child is on a normal basis. If you're going all-out formal, I'd say no.
If you're not so worried about formality and total & utter perfection, then go ahead and let her, but don't expect her to stay still during the whole ceremony. At her age, her attention span is next to nil. You could always have Grandma nearby to scoop her up if need be.
If you think it could injure your fiance's feelings to not include her, then you have no choice. Like I said above, know what to expect and be prepared.
Congratulations and best wishes.

my nephew is 18 months and was the ring-barer he was to small to go down the aisle by himself but when everyone started saying how cute he was he turned and ran back up the aisle for another turn. You can always just put a flower arrangement in the flower-girl basket and have her hold hands and walk down the aisle with your step daughter

I've seen some weddings that have two flowergirls and ringbearers. Everyone thought it was wonderful. The older kids would help her get down to the front if she was scared didn't know what to do.

Please let her be a part of the ceremony in some way. She can walk downt he aisle with the other flower girl, hold hands with the ring bearer, and more. Have someone you trust in the front rown to help watch her during the ceremony. Practice as much with her and the other little ones so that it becomes second nature to her. She will not dissapoint you.She will see how important this wedding is to you and her father and as a child will want to please both you.

i'm getting married in would. I really have a 9 12 months-previous son and my fiance has been in our lives when you consider that my son changed into 5. He calles my fiance "dad". we are having a sand ceremony on the marriage. We each and each and every picked a color of sand that we beloved and we are able to dump it into this somewhat cool vintage glass jar. the idea is that a lifeless ringer for the three distinct sands have become one and may not in any respect be separated, so is our relatives. perchance you could imagine of a fashion for her to take section contained in the ceremony, perchance you would possibly want to get her a touch heart necklace? solid success!
