The May issue of Brides magazine reports that wedding ring bowls are the newest trend for weddings. So instead of a pillow, your ring bearer carries a customized bowl. Check out this one I found on Etsy (hey, Etsy is the perfect way to pass a Friday afternoon; all in the name of "research", right?!):
Our take: it's a pretty clever idea. You can always put it on your dresser to put your bands in overnight (I'm practical and love the idea of it being useful). Plus you can customize these with a saying that means a lot to the two of you. If you use a wedding ring bowl, we'd love to see yours!
I have a little bowl like this in the kitchen for when I’m kneading bread or doing any number of other messy cooking tasks. It’s great, I never forget where I put my rings!
That’s waaaaay smarter than my “put them in my pocket” trick!
