My FMIL came over this weekend and we went over some wedding stuff and she kept saying ushers vs groomsmen. there is a difference.

Ok I found this....
Ushers are designated to greet and seat guests as they arrive for the ceremony and they can also pass out the programs. They are aware of any reserved seating and seat accordingly. Additionally, ushers can also be the ones to roll out the aisle runner. Some ushers wear the wedding day attire to match, while others do not. It would be up to you. They should receive an invite to the rehearsal, etc since they are a part of the wedding party.
Groomsmen are there to stand up for the groom during the ceremony. Many times groomsmen are also asked to be ushers as well. Hope this helps clarify!

Great thanks! I will be giving the groomsmen double duty LOL
I think the terms are usually used interchangeably but I think the difference is that the groomsmen are just the witnesses for the groom and the ushers actually usher/seat people in the church, but at least in NY and nowadays the GMs either just be groomsmen or they do both. FH was a GM in a wedding and he had to do this, though usually we see the groomsmen just hanging out with the groom before the ceremony. If you're going to call them ushers then you should have them actually seating people before the ceremony, otherwise they are groomsmen.
