Hi everyone,

I have a friend who is very close to both the groom & I, but this friend has told us while they would LOVE to help with wedding planning, crafting, and any other support throughout the process, that they are not comfortable being a part of the wedding party itself during the ceremony. I absolutely respect this, however I want to honor them with a title or special mention for all the help they will be offering.

My question to you all is have you ever seen/heard anything like this? Or do you have any ideas of ways I could honor them? The idea being they would get a shout-out in our wedding program, and I am very into the ceremony and tradition of it all so saying "friend" doesn't really do it for me.

I'm in very similar situation, my best friend just had her baby and lost her father recently, not long after, I expect her to do what she can, if anything, which might only be to offer me her love and emotional support, but I want to give her a gift, same as my bridesmaids, even if she is just the one asking about my hair or giving her slight opinion, I would have wanted her as a bridesmaid but I can't ask her to do that much knowing she has a baby in her arms and is still grieving. I'm making the bridesmaids boxes and slippers/ the works, customized and all and I'm like what is her title, supposed to be?? Bestie lol

How about a simple "special thanks to X for their help planning & coordinating, & for all their love & support. You are appreciated!" This way they are recognized publicly & you don't have to worry about a title.
