One of our GM is Jewish. He was still able to be a part of the bridal party, he just could not receive communion.

I asked about this, and they said yes.
I also said that (according to FMIL) it is traditional/customary to have the MOH and BM be the godparents of the first born, would that be a problem and they said it won't be a problem as long as they MOH/BM have been baptized.
My MOH is Greek Orthodox.

no, just baptized.

oh and as someone else mentioned- they can't receive communion unless it is ok with their religion.

You can participate in the mass if you're not Catholic, you just can't receive communion.
