TOO MANY BRIDESMAIDS

Hi everyone,
I have a very big italian family - all my cousins being girls and 2 boys. I would love to have all the girls in my wedding party, but there are too many along with my friends. Any ideas on how I can incorporate everyone into the wedding?
thanks

You can have some of them do readings at the ceremony, sign your marriage license, be your 'something blue' (although I dont really knwow aht that entails).

If your getting married in a church, you can also have them bring up the gifts.

You can have some of them hand out programs and bubbles too.

I am doing what a lot of the Ladies suggested. Since I'm getting married in a church, 3 readings and 3 others bringing up gifts. Quick way to get others left out involved and they have been flattered that I've asked! Which is great!

I was wondering this myself as well. Is that new the 'something blue'? I tried googling & couldnt find it.

Someone enlighten me please

There are a couple of girls on here that have asked a family member or friend to be their something blue. What I gather is that they provide that person with something blue (necklace, handkerchief, etc.) or have them wear blue, and then that person is their 'something blue' for the wedding. There was a girl on here that had a poem to go with asking the person too.
