The number of wedding pages will depend exclusively on the couple, however the most advisable is to have only two, which are usually a couple composed of a boy and girl of similar ages.

The small pages are the ones that most tenderness usually generate to the guests and the couple. But it is good to know that very young children are usually frightened when entering the church and realize that they are the center of attention of all eyes, which sometimes causes them to stand in the middle of the corridor or break to cry. If the pages they choose are between three and four years old, it is convenient that they are accompanied by their mother or someone they trust so that they feel more comfortable and safe.

Another important aspect when choosing the pages of a wedding is to consider the personality of the child. If the child is very shy or embarrassed, it is not recommended to assign him the task of page, since he is very likely to feel overwhelmed at the time of the ceremony. If possible, opt for extroverted pages that feel comfortable being the center of attention.
