5 Tips For Avoiding Mishaps During The Giving Of The Rings

giving of the wedding rings

A “handful” of tips for the wedding officiant to keep in mind in order to avoid mishaps during the exchange and the blessing of the rings portion of the wedding ceremony.

Participants need to have their hands free at the appropriate time and rings need to be in the right place at the right time.

Here are 5 Tips To Help The Ring Exchange and Blessing of the Rings go smoothly:
1.  Avoid dropped rings by transferring the wedding bands from an open palm, not from fingertips to fingertips.

2.  When the officiant says; “May we now have the rings.”  The Bride hands her bouquet to the designated person, in order to free her hands for the ring.

3.  When the officiant says; “May we now have the rings.” The designated persons (commonly Maid/Matron of Honor and Best Man) will give the rings to the Officiant for the Blessing of the Rings.

4.  The rings should be placed in the officiant’s open palm for a blessing before the exchange, or if the blessing is omitted, the rings should be placed directly into the open palms of the bride and groom.

5.  In a smaller/simpler ceremony without attendants the Officiant will need to remember to get the rings before the ceremony begins in order to have the rings in his/her possession at the time of the blessing.
