As the bride and groom, you probably have a list of gifts you’ll need to purchase before the big day. Gifts for your parents are essential, and gifts for the bridesmaids and groomsmen are also important, but remember not to forget about the little guys. Gifts for the ring bearer (and flower girl) are must haves for a few reasons.
Depending on their age, you might need a little help in teaching them exactly what their job for the day is. Token gifts tend to make them a little bit more excited about the whole process. There are several books that help educate and inspire ring bearers for their big walk down the aisle.
There’s also a lot of down time on wedding days, so your ring bearer might be dressed in his adorable tuxedo with nothing to do between photos, the ceremony, and the reception. This can be a recipe for disaster, but the right gift can keep him content and occupied during these less exciting moments.
We also love the idea of a gift that adds to his look for the day – a bowtie, a tee shirt, or even a badge that says “ring security” are great options (and let’s be honest – the adults love it too).
Browse the list below for the best gifts for ring bearers. We recommend purchasing a few for an awesome ring bearer gift bag. Don’t miss our list of the best gifts for flower girls and this post on the best ring bearer boxes and pillows.
