For those of you that don't know, a "house party" is a tradition we have in the south. It's like a second bridal party, but they don't stand with you. Generally, they do programs and greeting, but I don't want my girls to do that. I simply want them a part of my wedding, but can't have 10 bridesmaids. They are super understanding and not the type of people to be offended by that.
ANYWAY, I'm asking my girls to be in my bridal or house party by decorating a little wooden box that contains a picture of us, wedding colors, dress ideas, etc. in it and painting their name on top, then "Will you be my bridesmaid?" on the inside of the lid.
I can't call my girls in the house party bridesmaids, and I feel like "house maid" is very strange and offensive. What should I call them?
Please don't sit here and tell me that I shouldn't have a house party- it's not the point of this
