Who hands out the programs and ushers guests to their seats? Is it the groomsmen? Or should it be someone not the in party?And who hands out the bubbles at the end of the ceremony? Could a bridesmaid and/or flower girl do this or should it be someone not in the party?

    We had our groomsmen hand out programs before the ceremony. Another option, if you are looking to include more people, is to ask a friend/cousin/etc to hand out the programs and act as an usher.We didn't have bubbles, but in the past I have seen the wedding party handing them out. Generally, the wedding party recesses to the back and then the guest follow. So the WP would already be there to hand out bubbles if need be. Again, you could enlist a non-WP person to do this if you like.

    We had my brothers girlfriend hand out programs as well as be the guest book attendent (we had both sitting on the same table at the end of the aisle).  She was not in the wedding party but this was a way to include her.  However, she ended up not even doing it because I guess she didn't "feel" like it...but that's a whole 'nother story :), and everyone just helped themselves anyway, they were in a pretty conspicuous location.I would give out the bubbles beforehand when you give out the programs.  Anyone can really do this...kids particularly love this job, even if they're not in the WP.

    I'm of no help with the bubbles.  However, in terms of programs, our coordinator set one on every chair before the ceremony started and the guests entered the room.  This way no one missed the basket and we didn't have to put anyone out and ask them to hand them out.

    We're having FI's niece hand our programs and also help with the guest book.  FI's nephew is going to usher as well as a few groomsmen.

    I'm a little late on this, but we're having my cousin's girlfriend hand out programs (like JVeaux said, as a way to include her because my cousin's in the wedding and she's not), as well as another cousin who I felt a little obligated to include because her two sisters are doing readings (they're all 3 older than me and I'm much closer to the younger 2, but the oldest is very catty and whiney... ugh family politics).  I'm having my brothers (they are only 14) and three little cousins as ushers... again, I just did it to include them because they are all 10+ years younger than me but we have an extremely large and close-knit family and I wanted to include them.  Plus we have a lot of little old ladies in out family who will need to be ushered to their seats :)
