Jobs for the sisters/sisters to-be

I have decided to only have 1 of my 3 sisters in the bridal party and not have my 2 sister to-be in it either.

However, I want them all to be involved in the wedding and the process.  What special job or duty can I give the 4 that are not brides maids?

     The only thing I can think of is reader or usher. Please don't do "honorary bridesmaid" or "guest book attendant" like some people suggest.  I would definitely side-eye if someone asked me to be one of those.

    You can have one be a "bride's attendant". Other roles you can involve them with is as reader, special music or saying grace at dinner.  Just a few thoughts...

    I would say readers.  Most other jobs (guest book attendant, program distributor, personal attendant) are jobs, not honors.  Otherwise you can give them corsages and seat them in the front with your parents.

    Please don't have them be ushers, program distributors, guest book attendants, personal attendants (WHY DOES ANYONE NEED A PERSONAL ATTENDANT?!?).  Women don't like doing it, and it will definitely make them feel like they are being slighted.  Heck, a lot of guys feel like being an usher makes them part of the "B" team.

    Have them read a passage during the ceremony, or just let them be guests. 

    Believe it or not, everyone doesn't need a job.
