Wedding Party Extras

EveT04

Hey, does anybody have any ideas on what i can call my extended wedding party e.g readers, parent walkers, program handers, flower girls n boys?

Licia&Wayne

What are you using the name for? Like, in the programs or what?

Because I don't think I would come up with a special collective name. I think I would just list them as what they are doing.

Are you looking for a general title under which to list them in the program?
I had a page titled "Ceremony Participants" where I listed all the people with roles in the wedding.

I wanted to use it on a website, bc our best man does website design so made us a website rather than using the basic template ones so it had a more personal touch so bc they have a seperate website page i didn't know what to name the page

I need to be an English Major now to talk on a wedding board really?

You don't need to be an English major, you just need to speak English.  It's a text-based medium, use your text correctly if you want to be taken seriously.

<div>No, coherent will do.  </div><div>
</div><div>Put them all on the page with the rest of the wedding party, under the heading "Wedding Party".  </div>

I would just call them reader, candle holder, etc. Whatever their titles are under the wedding party secion of the webpage.

And no, you don't have to be an english major, but this isn't a text message. If you want people to take your questions seriously you have to communicate well through written word. Punctuation helps you do that.

I would list them under wedding party

No, grammar through fourth grade will do.  It's so that people can answer YOUR question quickly and easily.  It's disrespectful to write as if you're typing out a text message, and it makes it difficult for people to read your question and understand it.  Grammar, spelling, and punctuation DO exist for a reason, and they are for everyday use :)

If you want people to spend their time answering your question, it would be helpful if you could write in a way that makes it easy to read. Periods and commas exist because they make your writing clearer. Since the only thing anyone on here has to go on is your writing, it's kind of important.

And I realize you were exaggerating, but I don't think that basic punctuation is only to be expected from people who have studied the English language at the collegiate level.

I like "Ceremony Participants".

DavidandAmyClark

I would do either "Ceremony Participants" or just "Wedding Party" and have the BMs and GMs above. 

Are you having people involved in your ceremony just to "walk" your parents?  Or are these family. If you are including a sibling in the wedding just to escort your mom, for example, I don't think he requires a title other than "brother of the bride."

Also I think I wouldn't call the program handers ushers or greeters.  I am a fan of fewer categories as possible.
