Would it be lame to....

Have honorary bridesmaids in my wedding program?? I am only having my sister as my MOH (no other bridesmaids in party) and was considering having a section of honorary bridesmaids in my program which would include my best friends and sister in law. I am struggling with a way to include them in my wedding and thought this could be nice. But I don't want it to be stupid either - not sure. What do you think?? PLEAE BE BRUTALLY HONEST!!

I'm having only family too and am asking my friennds to do readings, bring up the gifts to incorporate them which will be included in the program.

I think that is a great idea. I am also just having a maid of honor, which is my cousin and I feel like my best friend is a little disappointed, so i am having her do a reading to incorporate her into the ceremony.

My best friend is a single Mom with 2 children and couldn't afford to be in it (I told her I'd buy her dress and all but she didn't feel right about it) so I'm having her do a reading and I'm writing her a special little 'thank you' in the program as well. Now I just have to FIND readings!!

Thanks gang!! Any other opinions...Please don't worry about hurting my feelings here if you think it is lame. I am undecided about it myself - don't want to be cheesy, but just looking for a nice way to make my friends feel special/part of the day. Other ideas are welcome!!

I think I would opt for the readings over 'honorary bridesmaid' ~ JMO

Re: Would it be lame to....

I agree with you that it might be better to do readings - problem is, there are only so many readings and we have other family members we would plan to ask to do them - hence my dilemma - there are only so many roles in a wedding....I probably should have saved myself the trouble and just had them be bridesmaids

I think its great, I'm actually doing this w/ one of my girls b/c she was a bm & then found out she's pregnant & won't be able to fly up here (she lives in TX) so I was going to mention she's my honorary bm.

I think it is a great idea, it is your wedding, do what you want.

I think it's a little cheesy, JMO.... i think if i was reading the program i would be like so why aren't they just bridesmaids? i would say get them invovled in other aspects. perhaps they could be ushers (i've seen women do this, hand out the programs, handle little details for you the day of, do the music at your ceremony (if anyone is musically inclined), etc. etc. Perhaps your mom and your MOH could involve them in planning your shower.
