Alternative titles for wedding party?

My FH is having a "best woman," but that sounds kinda funny to put on the program.  What should I call her?  Groom's honor attendant?  Something else?

Also, my ring bearer is not actually bearing any rings -- he's going to be escorting the flower girl and helping her to throw petals.  Should he have a more accurate title, and if so, what?  (He's going to be 5, so "junior groomsman" seems like a bit of a stretch.)

    I was in this position for my best friend's wedding.  I sought the advice of The London Times Manners Columnist on how a woman should dress for this position.  In addition to the advice he gave, he added that I should be called the Best Woman.

    Your RIng Bearer is the Ring Bearer.  No one ever trusted a little kid with the rings to begin with.

    Our "ring bearer" is carrying a sign down the aisle, instead of rings/pillow/book/whatever, but we still call him our ring bearer.  I think junior groomsman for a 5 year old would be weirder than calling him a ring bearer.

    I think best woman is an awesome title, but honor attendant is good too if the whole "best woman" thing is too weird for you guys.

    Alright, now I'm curious -- what did they say you should wear?

    We titled it as brides attendants and grooms attendants because I have a guy friend standing on my side.

    In my case the groom wanted to wear a kilt and I was advised to wear a black watch skirt.

    We have a Best Woman. We also have two Groom's Girls and two Bride's Men. There's no way I'm giving our Ring Bearer the actual rings but he's keeping the traditional name.
