That sounds fine. I might drop the "junior" part since they'll be doing the same thing as the other groomsmen.

I am "deaf-initely" one of a kind.

We're using nieces the same age (13 & 9) in our wedding and listing them right along with the BMs and GM and just going to list "Wedding Party" in the program. So, we're not using the term "junior."

There are no age limits on attendants, and they're plenty old enough to stand up there and smile.

There is no need for "junior" except to pat the kid on the head and remind them that they're younger than everyone else. Just call them "groomsmen."
