Honest oppinion on my idea please....

I have been to several weddings where I have no idea why the bridesmaids and groomsmen have their positions, and I am always curious about the relationships between all of them.

That got me to thinking. What if I had a 'Meet the Men and the Maids' table. I was considering having a photo of each (there are only 8 in total) with a small write-up of why those people are important in our lives. It would be a small table beside the guest book.

Any ideas on this?

I should add we are not having programs, I know that this information is sometimes included in those.

As a guest I never questioned how they got their job, because I figured they were the nearest and dearest.  Honestly, I've seen this on pinterest and thought that it was kind of silly.  Usually the extent of how much I need to know about the WP is shown in the program (i.e. Sister of the bride, friend of the groom).  Even so, I rarely remember after the ceremony.  I think this falls into the "don't waste your time and most people won't even notice it" category.

I think that's a really cute idea, espeically if photos are playing a large part in your design scheme.  Would you write up the bios or would you have your WP do it?  If the WP will do it on their own, I'd write out questions for them to answer so that the responses are a bit more uniform.  (sorry, the teacher in me sneaks on to the board sometimes)

It's a cute idea but by no means necessary.

I think it's cute. You can always ask the WP how they feel about it. In the weddings I've been to, I've probably wondered who they were for about 3 seconds as they walked down the aisle but then completely left that thought as the bride walked in. FI and I wrote a paragraph next to the picture of each bridesmaid and groomsman on our wedding webpage.

I'm a huger creeper so I like this idea. I'd say not to plan on doing it, but to go ahead if you have time.

I like this!  I'd have them answer silly questions too.

Thanks ladies! I am in no way hellbent on doing this, just thought that it might be a nice idea. .... if I have the time, we will see how that goes.

We are having the MC say a little something about each person in the bridal party at the beginning of the program.  I like the idea of letting the group get to know the bridal party.

My opinion is its kind of cheesy. I did put "sister of the bride" or "friend of the groom" in our programs but I think that's enough. I would never care to read a bio of each wedding party member.

I know that if I was the bridesmaid I would feel very uncomfortable with this idea. I'm a shy person, and I wouldn't want a bio about me anywhere. Not everyone would feel this way of course, but I'd definitely ask them if they liked the idea or not.
