Wedding Wednesday | Wedding Day Involvement

Question: Is it possible to involve EVERYONE in your wedding day?

Answer: No, probably not....but we will sure try!!

Every since I started planning for my wedding, I have been slightly stressed trying to figure out a way to involve all my friends, girls and guys, in my wedding. So I started making a list of ways for people to be involved and matched names to it. This sounds simple, but again, it was not, it lead to more stress. Only because through out months of planning you make friends and loose friends. I am here to tell you when you are picking people to be involved, make sure they are people who will be there for you and help you through the wedding process, not someone you think you will not be friends with after you get married or will stress you out even more.

Here is a list of ways for some of your favorite people to be involved

1- Bridesmaid

2- Groomsmen

3- Usher (you need 1 for every 100 people you invite)

4- Flower Girl/Ring Bearer

5- Greeter/Program Passer (make sure this person is friendly--after all, this will be the 1st person your guest meets)

6- Guest Book Attendant (Can have 1 or 2 people--depending on how big your wedding is)

7- Readers (I'm Catholic, so I need 3 people to read passages I've chosen)

8- Bubble Passer

9- Reception Hostess (to help anyone find their seat if you have a seating chart, or to just be there to help answer any questions the guests have)

10- Photographer

11- Wedding Planner

12- Eucharistic Ministers (Again, Catholic, so I need 3 of these to help our Priest)

13- Wedding Day Assistant (Someone to keep you sane throughout the whole day, make sure all the little things are put together and done right)

14- Singers (If you have a friend that can belt out beautiful notes, don't be afraid to ask them to sing a song during your wedding)

15- Cake Cutters ( I would suggest 4 people--2 on each side of the table to keep everything moving smoothly)

16- Reception Perfectionist (He or She will MAKE sure the reception looks just as beautiful as you wanted it to)

These are just 16 ways I can think of and there might be more! But don't be afraid to ask for help when getting things around for your wedding. Remember all those people who said "if you ever need help, just let me know" right after you got engaged--go find them :-)
