My husband and I are already married, but our upcoming wedding is the formal ceremony and party for all our family and friends to partake in! We are not having bachelor/ette parties or an engagement party.
We want to ask some of our closest friends to participate in our big day, but I need help with the phrasing:
We want them to get ready with us and then take some photos after our first look and family photos. We will share color scheme of outfits but not require they are in matching outfits. I will ask the girls if they want their hair and/or makeup done.
We won’t have them stand up front with us at the ceremony, and we aren’t having a seated dinner so there is no seating chart.
Are they still considers bridesmaids and groomsmen, or should we come up with a fancier title/way to ask ‘Your friendship means a lot to me, I’d love if you got ready with my on my big day!’ sort of thing? We will be mailing a small personal gift to ask, as we live out of the country.
