What Else Other Than A Bride`s Maid?
I don`t want several bride`s maids, but have 4 sisters that I do want in my wedding if I can find a way. Two I have been close to since they were born, they are 17 yr old twins. My other two are in Greece and in there early 20`s. I want to have my sisters from Greece as my Bride`s Maids, so what else is there I could do to get the twins in. I thought of flower girls for them, but everyone thinks that is for little girls and I want them to have a big role in my wedding. Any ideas will help me greatly, thank you!!!!!!

PERHAPS THE TWINS COULD GREET AND DO THE WEDDING SIGN IN BOOK AND BE A HUGE PART OF PLANNING, OR YOU COULD HAVE THEM AS JUNIOR BRIDE`S MAIDS. THAT IS NICE IF HE HAS YOUNGER BROTHERS OR COUSINS OR SOMETHING. IT LOOKS NICE WITH THEM THERE, STANDING BELOW YOU . DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I`M SAYING/? WELL, I HOPE I HAVE BEEN OF HELP!

In hopes of giving you some ideas, I have the same problem
4 sisters and want all of them to be part of my wedding.
Consider the sister in greece as bridesmaids. Why not make one a personal attendent, and the other do the readings for your wedding and kind of lead the show guestbook, hostess, your right hand gal, I didn`t hear you mention your maid of honor. You can have two maids of honor these days.........
Well hope I helped lots of luck........ Maria

Krista,
You could have the two sisters help seat guests, be candlelighters, both of them escort your mother down the aisle, do readings...any number of important jobs.
Another idea is to have the B&G write special letters to each other. At an early point in the ceremony, each sister could read one of the letters...(the bride`s letter to the groom) then the other sister reads the groom`s letter to the bride.

Well i`ve got 6 brides maids and i was in the same position as you. Go on have the lot it`s not like you get married every day. But if you can`t i think asking them to make a speech is a good idea.

I found myself in a similar situation- I have 1 sister and 4 female cousins plus my fiance has 4 sisters! Because both are families are close we wanted to include them all. So we are having 3 Bridesmaids, two junior bridesmaids who are also ring bearers, 2 flowergirls and the other two are ushers. If you are not having a page boy to carry the rings maybe you could give the job to your sisters??

If you were considering them as Junior Bridesmaids (which they are too old) why can`t you have them as bridesmaids? To be honest I don`t see any difference in calling them Junior Bridesmaids and Bridesmaids. The age makes the difference in being called "Junior" or just Bridesmaids. If you are close to them and have considered this, I would have them as bridesmaids, which is more appropiate for thier age.
