My fiance and I found wedding barbies. Can we give those to our two flower girls as gifts?

They are both only five years old.

I think those are wonderful. They will definitely get some good play out of them at that age. Young flower girls really don't understand the sentiment in some other gifts so I think those are perfect! Good for you. Have a beautiful wedding!
Reply:My daughter received a doll as a flower girl gift. Most likely it is stuffed under some corner in her closet with the head torn off. My daughter is not a big fan of Barbies. She never has been. I personally would never have thought to give any toy to the children in a wedding party. I'm more of a fan of the "they'll appreciate this later" type of a gift. Our flower girls received pearl stud earrings. They wore the earrings in the wedding and they still have a classic piece of jewelry now that they are in their teens and going to dances/proms. The choice is ultimately yours, but I wouldn't give a toy.
Reply:I think that is a totally cute idea!
Reply:my daughters would love that!
Reply:as long as they like barbies then I dont see a problem with it. that sounds cute and its something they can enjoy.
Reply:that would be more than perfect gifts for them
Reply:I think that is a great idea. I wish I would have thought of that for my flower girl.
Reply:what a good idea!
Reply:They will love them. We did the same, but expect them to play with them, not keep them as souvenirs.
Reply:hellz yea they would love it when i was little and i was a flower girl all i got was a dammn thank u card!! i meen if i got a barbie id b happier ll
Reply:Thats an awesome and innovative idea that Im sure the little girls would love!
Reply:Love this idea! My girls would love them as well.
Reply:I think that is very cute and original. What a perfect way to let them know you are thankful to them for participating in your very special day!
Reply:That would be a great gift for five year olds!
Reply:That would be a great gift!!
Reply:why not!?!?!....go for it!!!








but then agian, i doubt the dolls will survive wit 5 year olds
Reply:tes why not i think thats a good idea
Reply:Sure! Cute.
Reply:What a fantastic gift! They'll be thrilled!
Reply:Yes, that is a cute idea!
Reply:yea that would be soo cute
Reply:Have you seen the wedding barbie bouqets that come with the wedding barbies?





They are plastic bouqets (available in pink and blue fabric flowers) that when you move the bow around the bouqet a small "Kelly" barbie comes out of the top and the flowers become her dress. They doll completely comes out so they can play with her and it's just a stand in the handle so any barbie can stand in the base (designed like the stems) after the day.





I am considering giving one of these to my daughter but seeing the wedding is not until the end of december there might be something else cool she'd rather have (she's older than your flowergirls though so i'd go for it!)
Reply:Only if you want them to develop an eating disorder and underscore the dominant sexual paradigm.





It's a really nice thought, but I don't think it's appropriate in this day and age. Plus, they'll only like them for a year or two and then they'll outgrow them.





When I was a flower girl, my aunt and uncle got my sister and me personalized necklaces with our names on them. They were cool and we still like them even as we've grown up. Little pins with their initials on them are cool too. Or personalized rubber stamps! With wedding bells!





Think about things that they will like -- but that won't screw them up mentally and emotionally.
Reply:Check with their parents. Some boycott Barbie and the image she sets for young girls. If their parents are cool with the Barbies, then go for it.
Reply:Sounds perfect to me! They're just the right age to appreciate them.
Reply:I think that is a fatastic idea. What 5 year old girl doesn't love Barbie- and a wedding Barbie at that. I think they would reall enjoy it and it's a way to give them a gift that is associated with the wedding!!
Reply:Sure, I think that would be a perfect gift for them!
Reply:Perfectly appropriate and I'm sure the girls will love them.....
Reply:If the girls are into Barbie, why not? if they are not, then I wouldn't do it. Find them something they would love.
Reply:Sure- if you are looking for other ideas instead though, I gave both of mine the wedding My Little Pony.
Reply:I would! That is a really cute and creative idea!!!
