Looking for opinions and advice on having a personal attendant! I've been to many weddings where the bride had a personal attendant but have seen a lot of negativity about/towards them. I've never thought of them in a negative way and would personally be honored if someone asked me to be theirs. I think it's awesome to get to help them in that way on their day. I was thinking of asking a cousin of mine whom I'm not super close with but would still love to include. What are your thoughts? If you dislike the idea, why?

    If you have a personal assistant, why have bridesmaids at all? They're performing the same duties but they don't get the same treatment. A personal assistant is not an honor title. Either make them a bridesmaid or a guest. A guest is an honor title too. Alot of it comes down to wanting to have a gazillion attendants and compromise by making every single person in a group feel 'special' by giving them a title and putting them on display because they feel that someone 'just being a' guest is not special enough on its own when the majority would rather witness than participate as an attendant.
