Wedding Helpers (attendants)

I’m not really sure what an attendant is but I’m from the south and my friend group generally calls those people part of the house party. I’m not sure if that’s a thing in other parts of the country though.

My cousin is helping out myself and my mom on the wedding day. She's not listed anywhere so I didn't really give her a title. She's more of a co-coordinator though. If they've already agreed to help, I don't see a need to officially ask them. Maybe just a message to each saying "if you're still willing to help on the wedding date, these are some items I'll need help with" and keep them in the loop of tasks.

It sounds like they would be considered hostess or greeters of some sort.

I would call those people host/hostesses. That's what we are calling the ppl helping out with the greeting of the reception. At the ceremony I guess they might be considered more ushers. My attendants are basically gonna be extensions of my bridesmaids and help out with little tasks involving me or the wedding party. Like maybe answer texts for me, make sure the kids in the bridal party are wrangled up, just a while bunch of little stuff before the ceremony.

Okay. Yeah I never heard of it. When I google attendants it talks about the bridal party and uses those terms interchangeably.

Yes. I like the idea of host/hostess. that's perfect.

It sounds like your greeters could also be ushers. They would help people get comfortable or find their seats in the church. They can even escort your grandparents down the isle.

I have a bridal attendant. She is my bridesman's girlfriend as well as a friend of mine. I explained to her that she would be helping me and the other women in the bridal party to get ready and assist throughout the day with my needs.
