I am the maid of honor and have been asked for help by the bride. Due to family politics, a 3-year old girl will be in the ceremony against the bride’s will. She does not want flowers thrown, but doesn’t know what else to have the little girl do. The wedding is a Caribbean destination wedding on the beach. Any suggestions?

Flower girls do nothing but look cute.
They add the Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! factor.

Hah I was going to say "shells" because its Caribbean, but thats just dumb.
Anyway, she could do one of those ribbon dancey things like gymnasts; if she can sing, then sing a love/their favorite song or something; or throw little paper hearts (with/without the couple’s names).

Can she do The Robot? Strut? Body-pump? That would be really, really cool.
Children this young can be very shy. When I was a flower girl (also 3), I didn’t have to throw the flowers. They just had me follow my aunt up and down the aisle. Be careful about waving encouragingly at her though. My mom did this when my sister was flower girl, and my sister misinterpreted it and went straight towards my mom in the pews instead of following the procession. If you cannot explain the job to the kid, then maybe she’s too young to do it.

She can hand out divorce applications by the front entrance.
