Hello all,
I am not sure if this question belongs here but it is a "ceremony" type quest. I feel like an idiot but can you please tell me if there is a difference between ushers and grooms men? I thought they were one in the same but since joing the knot, I see both titles and realized Im confused!
I thought the GM''s seat/usher the guests? yes? No? Whats typical?
Re: Groomsmen vs ushers
Many places will have the groomsman act as ushers too so you do not necessarily need to have both titles. Back in the day where it was common to have the same number bridesmaids as groomsman, an "usher" was another way to include people you wanted to have a role in the wedding. Now of days it is more common just include those people as groomsman since even sides does not matter!
Our ceremony site is a smaller site so we will be using our groomsman as ushers before the ceremony-- however when we looked at a different venue, the walk from the entrance to the seaing area was quite long so they had suggested using separate ushers so the guys did not get hot having to walk back and forth so many times before the ceremony. Can vary on many different levels. End of the day, it is up to yoU!

@ MairePoppy...it must be an up north thing! I see you are from Conn. and I originate from Jersey! they were one in the same and that is how our GM will function here with us in Florida!
