Probably not as a ring bearer, but I have seen weddings where they decorate a wagon or a stroller and the baby is pulled/pushed down the aisle in this. Maybe that would be a good idea for you.

Maybe you can have him be the ring bearer but have a groomsman carry him down the isle or if he is sitting up really well, have a bridesmaid pull him down the isle in a decorated wagon. I just got married this past Sat and I have some tips that will REALLY help you when it comes to your young child at your wedding. I have a 21month old and there were a few things that happened at our wedding and reception and maybe by giving you the following advice it will help those things to not happen at your wedding.
-Make sure you make time for just you and baby on yuor wedding day.
-Designate a close friend to take your son outside if he gets cranky during the ceremony. (My son was asking me to pick him up and screaming during the ceremony and NO ONE offered to get him until finally I picked him up right before we were about to say "I do" and a family friend came and took him outside)
- Designate one person to watch him during the reception. Make sure that this person is willing to leave and take the baby home when he is ready to lay down for sleep. Chances are there will be so much going on that your son will be so overwhelmed.. he may get really cranky when he finally gets tired.
-If you need help with him - dont be afraid to ask, most people will glady help you with him on your wedding day.
-And Finally, talk to the people you are going to designante to do the above way ahead of time, then remind them the day before of the duties you asked them to do.
And relax have a good time and dont worry if he wants you during times like your first dance etc. Just pick him and dance with him and your new hubby. While the day is all about you and your husband - it is also about the family you are joining. Congrats!

It might be a little much to ask of a 6 month old. But you know your baby and how he will act (meaning if he cries a lot or not). But you could definitely involve him. Just have someone carry him down the aisle, That would be so cute!
Good Luck!

That is too young to have them participate. A child should really not be expected to participate until they are around 3 or 4 years old, when they can follow simple directions and are able to understand what you want them to do.
If you are wanting to make them a part of the ceremony in some way you could include them in the vows... you could even give them a "ring" or something as well (just hang it from their stroller or carseat and out of reach... babies that age will put anything in their mouth and you dont want them choking either).

I think that's a cute idea. Just have someone carry him to the front. that would be adorable, I mean his parents are getting married, he should be involved in it. It's going to be something he can look back on when he's older. I would definitely say go for it and have your son in the wedding, it's something to be proud of too...along with your big day.
Congrats and Good Luck

He's a little young. But if you want him in the wedding go for it. You could have an older flower girl that can pull him in a wagon down the aisle.

I think he's too young and unpredictable (i.e. could start crying, screaming, need food, changing, etc... at any moment.) But I think like what other people have said, have somebody carry him with the ring, but definitely have a back up plan if he gets fussy. Like a relative who will take him at a moments notice.

How old will your son be when the wedding happens?
Someone can carry him or pull him a decorated wagon.
I have two sons and we arent sure how we are doing this yet either. But we have a while to plan it. Good luck and congrats!

Its cute that you'd want to incorporate him, but really there's just no way. For the sake of less stress, it may not even be feasible for him to be around on the day of the wedding! You may be better off leaving him with a relative while you get ready and then have them meet you at the ceremony and reception.
Sucks, but it's probably the most realistic.
