Hi everyone.
I have been racking my brain for the last few days on this idea. I am trying to find a non-gendered way to refer to wedding party members. We have mixed genders on both sides. I've been looking online and I can't seem to find anything that fits.
I personally hate the term attendants because I feel like it has the connotation that they are serving/waiting on you. These are people that are really special to us, not people expected to work for us.
I was wondering if you anyone had any ideas for gender neutral terms for wedding party roles. I want there to be some way to distinguish the people standing with me and those standing with my partner. I don't want bride's person, groom's person, etc. though.
Thank you all in advance for your help. I get it's not a huge deal what the terminology. It just really matters to me so I would love any and all suggestions.
