Ushers at the wedding

I wasnt going to have anyone sit specifically in the bride or groom sides so I don't really have ushers. I have my wedding party greet and welcome people though. I do think ushers could be a nice thing to have to welcome people

Like, would I just tell them to hand out the programs but then again I can have it out and people can just take one if they please. We do have tulle to block off the immediate family seating but I don’t know if I would have ushers who they would be

Welcome to the WeddingWire community Janine!

Having usher is totally personal preference. Some couples like to have their guests shown to their seat but guests will be able to find a seat for themselves anyway so they are not a necessity. If there is not someone who springs to mind to ask, then you could not have any. You don’t want to get stressed over this when your wedding is so close.

I dont honestly know if we had ushers. We didnt assign anybody to but I think the groomsmen kind of took on that role?
I was hiding out in the basement until go time so I'm not really sure what happened haha

We're having ushers!

We aren't going to have them, I don't think they are necessary.

I wouldn’t say they are necessary. I’m going to have the front row reserved on the groom’s side for his mother, grandparents, and a couple others. They will be ushered to their seats just before the ceremony begins, but I am just having the groomsmen do this. My FH will escort his mother to her seat first and then take his position beside the officiant. His best man (brother) will escort his grandparents to their seats, followed by another groomsman that will escort another honored guest to her seat. The best man and groomsman will return to where the bridesmaids are to get lined up to start the ceremony.

I will not have any reserved seating on my side, as I am not inviting my “parents” (we do not speak) and all of my grandparents are deceased. So, I think it’s fine to just have the groomsmen pull double duty in this situation.
