Groomsmen/Ushers

Are you supposed to have separate ushers and groomsmen or can your groomsmen be the ushers too?  My finance has 6 groomsmen.  I was thinking of having them trade off the usher task in 15 minutes intervals each. I wouldn't want this to mess up any behind-the-scenes pre-wedding pics though. I do have two cousins and an uncle that would usher if I needed them too. Any thoughts?

Re: Groomsmen/Ushers

  • This might not be an option for you, but I'm not even having ushers at my wedding. I've been to so many weddings where an usher seats me then I move to sit next to people I know and like :) I am having a rather large wedding, but I figured people could figure out where to sit.
  • We are having 3 Groomsmen & 3 Ushers. The Ushers will do all the seating before & escorting the rows after. The Groomsmen will be in the Bridal Party taking care of those matters. But, the 15 minute thing could work - so everyone gets a chance to be "backstage" & everyone gets a chance to help Usher. It's whatever works best for you.
