My flower girl is going to be almost 11 by the time my wedding comes around. I want to get her something for the wedding but verything I've seen online seems to be for girls around 4-7. I was thinking about going to Claires and getting a pearl jewelry set. Is that nice for an 11 year old? It's been a long time sense I was that age!

Maybe get her a manicure/pedicure gift card.

What kind of girl is she? I would have hated that. I was a complete tomboy though.
I would have much rather had something sports related. A new soccer ball or a gift card to a sports store for some new cleats would have been great.
My flower girl was also older. She was 10 at my wedding but very girlie. I got her the same thing I got the bridesmaids--jewelry. She has quite a collection of nice expensive jewelry now and she's only 12 now.
Some 11 year olds are all about video games and a new Wii game would be the perfect gift. Even though its not a standard "wedding thank you gift"--it should be personal. It should be a thank you gift to her for being in the wedding, so definitely pick something that she would personally think showed your gratitude. If you don't know, ask her parents what she is into.

enable your niece be the flower female! or perhaps even a junior bridesmaid. or perhaps she would be the focused visitor e book video reveal. besides, it is your wedding ceremony and you're making the guidelines. An person could be the flower female in case you're saying so. the project with youthful flower ladies (3-6 years, in spite of) is they have an inclination to freeze up and get point fright on the final minute. My pals flower female grew to become into 4, and that they practiced along with her for days on end, dressed her up and each little thing. as quickly as she have been given to the aisle and observed the gang , she stood there and cried and had to be taken out of the church. catastrophe. Use your 10 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous niece and screw your destiny sister in regulation..

First of all, stop referring to her as an 'older' flower girl. She just IS the flower girl. It's lovely to have someone that age! Flower girls always used to be from ages 8 to 12!
The pearl set is nice. Another option would be a locket.

I wouldn't get her pearls. Most 11 year olds don't like pearls. Plus, fake pearls peel and discolor easily. I think a jewelry set would be nice though and maybe a jewelry box. Good luck.

Its your wedding and if you want to have a 95 year old flower girl its your business. I think that this 11 year old will do a great job.
Make sure to take alot of pretty pictures :)

I'd go a little better than Claires and see about an engraved gold locket and chain from a jewelry store.
But if you're really on a budget - then the set from Claires is fine.
Or pretty hair barrettes etc. would be nice too.
And some "grown-up" perfume - nothing stuffy but something pretty and floral - but definitely from the "grown-up" counter.

If you have time to do this, I suggest going to Claires with her with a price limit and have her pick something out. It would be a fun bonding experience and she would get something she likes.
BTW, I agree with Mrs. S's comments about the pearls.

When I was eleven I was ALL ABOUT stuff at Claries. That's always a good choice. Otherwise, just think of something she really enjoys and go with that, just like with any other present.
I wasn't a flower girl, but when my sister got married she gave all of her bridesmaids but me a hot pink purse. She knew good and well that I'd never carry a hot pink purse, so she got me a nice leatherbound copy of Wuthering Heights... Totally me. : D

Pearls would be nice, as would stud earrings in her birthstone. When I was 11, I'm not sure I would have liked pearls, but I definitely would have liked jewelry with my birthstone.

Yes, or you can go to a jewlery store and get a locket. They love that kind of stuff. What about a purse. My 7, 9, and 13 year old love purses.
Good luck
