Program wording - one more question

Sorry, I just posted, but I thought of something else.

Our flower girl is the daughter of one of the bridesmaids. And our ring bearer is the son of one of the groom's friends. A little untraditional. So I'm struggling with the "relationship to us" part when you list the wedding party. I know it's usually a cousin or neice/nephew so people usually write:

Jimmy Smith   (Nephew of Groom)

But for us, what would I put? "Daughter of Friend of Bride" is a bit much, so right now I just have "friend of bride" and "friend of groom". But is it weird to call a 5 year old my friend?

    This is exactly what we listed.  Our RB and FG were the kids I used to nanny for, so we listed them as friends...but our programs were set-up to have paragraphs about our relationship with everyone in the WP, so there we explained how we met the kids, etc.

    Ha, DH didn't want to do it at first either, so I wrote paragraphs for him and then he read them as said "no-no, I'll do it" lol

    This doesn't exactly answer your question, but we aren't doing relationships at all - just listing their name.

    Flower Girl - Suzie Smith
    Ring Bearer - Johnny Toledo

    Yeah, good point. I suppose I don't have to list a releationship for them.
