Asking friends to be day of coordinators?

OK... here's the deal. My FH has been having issues with choosing his groomsmen because there's a friend of his whose wedding he was in last summer, but my FH wants this friend to be "just an usher" at our wedding this year and feels guilty about it.

OK... here's the deal. My FH has been having issues with choosing his groomsmen because there's a friend of his whose wedding he was in last summer, but my FH wants this friend to be "just an usher" at our wedding this year and feels guilty about it. Instead, he wants us to ask this guy and his wife to be our "MC's" (which is what he calls wedding coordinators) for the wedding. I'm fine with it and everything, but I don't know how much they'll have to do- I've worked with our venue site before and their staff is amazing and I trust them fully to take care of themselves. The only thing i can think of is that these friends will be the ones bringing the bridal party breakfast & lunch, making sure the cake and flowers arrive, and maybe taking care of the break between the wedding and reception. I feel like we're asking them just to be errand people all day.

I guess my question is 1) did you hire a DOC or ask friends? 2) thoughts on the situation?

    Your bridal party, especially MOH, will likely help you with these things but I wouldnt give them the title of “coordinator.” You still want them to have fun with you that day and not be seen as staff. Hiring someone or letting the venue take care of everything is the best option here
