What are your Hostesses/Ushers responsibilities?

I am having one usher. my wedding is in 3 weeks, and I still don't know what he is doing. Walking his mom to her seat, maybe passing out programs, manning the escort cards?

She could do a reading for you?

I should get on this

We don't have ushers. Our groomsmen may be setting guests, that is what my FSIL did at her wedding last july

Ooh ok that makes sense to have the groomsmen help.

When i was younger i got put in charge of the guest book table, made sure people got some bubbles to blow at the end, pointed them to the gift table.

If she is really personable you could generally just have her great people, tell them where to go, we are doing water for our outside wedding- if you are doing something like that she could point the guests towards the water.

"Attendant" typically means bridesmaid or groomsman. If what you want her to be is an usher, she can hand out programs if you are having them, ask whether they are bride's side or groom's side (if you are seating people that way), and walk them to their seats.

We didn't have ushers. However, someone (not even sure who) apparently told everyone to sit in the front row, which was ideal for our intimate ceremony.

My two boys (17 and almost 10) will be our "ushers", they will tell people to sit on either side, they will walk my mother down the aisle *together* and they will assist in the ring warming ceremony by waiting at the ends of the rows to pass the rings on quickly.

We have a very large guest list (so far just over 200) We will have ushers and their responsibilities are:

Greeting guests/Guest book

Handing out programs

Assisting guests to their seats

Answering questions regarding the facilities (where the bathroom, water, etc)

My SIL is going to be my guest book girl. She's very personable, and I thought that it'd be the perfect fit for her to greet the guests as they arrive, ask them to sign the guest book and thank them for coming.

Another idea: you could ask her to be YOUR personal attendant for that day. Like an assistant. Remind you of times/schedules, run any errands you forget, speak with vendors if necessary, etc....

My brother is going to be an usher. He doesn't really have any responsibility but I wanted him to be included. He will probably escort my mom to her seat.

I agree with Future Mrs X - have her attend you for the day. You will be surprised how much that will help and I'll bet she will be tickled pink. She could also be your guest book attendant or cake server if you think she would like a little more guest-facing role.

Wow this post got me thinking and I ever even though about the personal attendant role Future Mrs.X good point.

I have a 2 Ushers but now Im thinking I may need more!

Ushers and Hostess Responsibilities that I usually assign are:

Seating and Greeting guests,Passing out programs,Monitoring Guest Books,Gift Table ,Card Boxes, Assisting with line-up order during serving,Rolling out the runner for the bride. Assist guests and Coordinator as needed. They play a very important part of the Wedding Day.
