"Personal" Attendant

WoW that is a tough one!! I didn't even think about that. You can have him give the escort cards as he is having the guest sign the book. You can call him the registar since he will be having guests sign the book. He is the registar. (sorry if spelling is wrong)

Trina had a good title....you could also call him an honorary attendant, and do a toast to him as well for helping out...he'd still dress up nice like everyone in the bridal party, but wouldn't walk down the aisle.....

Reception Host is another possibility

Personally I have never understood the term "guest book attendant," it infers that someone needs to actually stand by a guest book, but the guests expect to see a book as they enter either the church or the reception hall and know what to do with it. However it IS a good idea to have someone responsible for all the tangible items you bring -- guest book and pens, unity candle, cake servers, flowers etc -- to make sure they get where they belong, and are picked up after the event. Do you really need to call him by any title at all? You could thank him in a toast for everything he has done, and perhaps give him a gift at the rehearsal dinner as you would for others like the ushers etc. If you want to acknowledge him in the program you can just say something like, And a special thanks to Jim for coordinating all the last-minute details. I'd say no specific title is needed.

I had a "day of go to" person, but they were so much more then a "PA" she, along with her teenaged daughter got to the ceremony site early to make sure everything was set up as i requested, she set up our unity sand, made sure the chairs were as they were supposed to be, set up the guest book table and card box, and made sure everything made it safly to the reception site, along with the extra flowers and what not. (we also gave her a nice card and cash tip for all her hard work)

this should be some one that is responsible and trusting, that will be able to get the job done... i have no clue what to call him lol

You would be surprised how many people do NOT sign the guest book! We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and pulled out all of our wedding stuff. We were SHOCKED to see how many people did NOT sign the guest book, even though we DID have a guest book attendant!!!! I wish everybody would have signed it!

Really? That kind of surprises me Squawkbox. I am just torn on this...I kind of want to give him a title to put in the programs, but I also kind of like Weliz's idea of simply saying a special thanks. Not sure!!

I'm having the same I'm calling mine a greeter hopes this helps.

We are just using the term usher, and he can help in that area as well. Hope this helps

@Skwawkbox that doesn't surprise me - I am one of those who HATES signing the guest book - I never know what to say!

@ You could just call him "attendant" or maybe even "day-of coordinator" since he is coordinating a lot of things

A guest book attendant ,He could be considered a wedding Host.

His job is to greet, and direct the guests, similar to a wedding personal assistant.

Not a coordinator which is a hired pro that will take the tasks of the day into a coordinated timeline & effort.

Just dont make him a pack mule with fetching and toting flowers, or props. his job is to get guests to sign the book and find their seating card. and feel welcomed.

A small gift of appreciation should be given to any of the attendants for their time and friendship.

Firestarter might be a fun "title". Someone who gets things going right? Although then people might think you're going to have a fire! LOL. On a more serious note, some type of "coordinator" would work. Or you could call him a guru of some sort, too. Have fun with it!

I am calling our "guest book attendant" just simply an "Guest Attendant"... they will help point people in the right direction, explain about our blessing tree, let people know where to leave their coats and make sure any gifts are put in an appropriate place. They will also make sure that the gifts, cards and blessing tree notes make it back to my mother's house safe and sound to help me be stress free!

But I am also calling my "personal assistant" an "honor attendant"... it sounds so much more respectful and less slavish or employee... It means a lot to me to have someone I trust there to help with all the last minute details and decor and keep me from the worry of things getting done because I know they will do the worry for me and my husband to be...
