Program wording...

Just looking for some help with program wording. I have three attendants for my wedding to help hand out programs and such at the church. It has two entrances so I need more than two people. Well just a few days ago, one of the girls backed out. She has a wedding to go to the same day as our wedding and she's not sure if she'll be back in time to help. I understand that completely and I'm fine. So in her place I have asked my FBIL's gf to help. They've been dating for 5 months and her and I have become close friends and of course she said yes! My question is, how would I word that in the programs? We have a formal catholic ceremony in a cathedral and were having the programs reflecting the formality of the event. In just unsure how to address her in the program? I can't put groom's brother's girlfriend but I don't want to go as simple as friend of the bride because there's a good chance she could be my SIL someday. Any suggestions??

    In my experience, the people who hand out the programs are also the ushers. So, can these people be called ushers? Or, do you have other people who are ushers? If it's the latter, why aren't the ushers also handing out the programs. Since the ushers are the ones directing people to their seats, it only makes sense they provide a program as well.

    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I think "Friend of couple" would be fine.
