Ushers and Groomsmen....

Got a question, Ushers help with seating, and groomsmen walk down the aisle....., am I right??????
Do ushers take pictures with the rest of the party????
I only have 3 BM's and my FH has alot more then I do, so we would like to make some of them ushers.
Just needed to know the difference between the two.

I believe you have it right. But then the ushers don't take pics. I believe they're not considered part of the bridal party. They're just there to direct ppl. where to sit, hand out programs etc.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if they are included in the Pics.
I told him that we can have 2 groomsmen walk down with 1 BM but he doesn't like that idea.

In many Bridal parties, the groomsmen do double duty and act as ushers as well....

In your case, you might want to separate the two since he has mroe people he wants to include. but if that's the case he needs to keep in mind then that it's his groomsmen ONLY that will be in pictures, that should be planning his bachelor party, that he will need to give gifts, too, etc. etc.

If he still wants all these guys as groomsmen, perhaps the girls can walk DOWN the aisle on their own with the groomsmen waiting with your FH, then when they have to double up coming out, he won't even see it!

Yep... no gift... he could give a small token, but it would not be as substantial as a bridal party gift. Also, they should wear some sort of corsage or boutennaire to identify themselves as people that can direct and help out guests.... And no, they don't have to be in tuxes. Tuxes are for bridal party only and fathers of bride and groom.... Suits are fine....
