What To Call Extra Girl In Wedding Party
I am the maid of honor in my best friends wedding. She is having a double wedding and is sharing the ceremony with her sister and her fiance. She has 3 bridesmaids and forgot to include her fiance`s 16 year old goddaughter in the wedding party. She really wants to have her as part of the wedding party, but is not sure what to call her or have her do. She is too old to be a junior bridesmaid and the bride is worried about there being one more girl than guy in the wedding party. What should she do?

Try having her help to either Register guests at the wedding or have her assist in Serving the wedding
Cake.

It`s no big deal to have an uneven wedding party. Alot of people have them anymore.

You can never be too old to be a FLOWER GIRL (she can have an "usher" tagging along side her, to make it official).

You could have her be the Train girl. She is in charge of either holding the train, if it`s long enough, or fixing it. That is also a great age for a wedding organizer. Making sure everything goes and gets where it is suppose to before the final hour. Saves a bunch of money as well.

You could also have her be the candle lighter.

I`m getting married in may, I have 3 nieces that I wanted to include in the wedding. Two are flowergirls but the oldest is almost the same age as our daughter who will be the junior bridesmaid. I didn`t want to leave her out so I asked her to read a poem during the ceremony. She loved the idea!

I agree with the Junior bridesmaid she is actually not to old and she can wear the same dress as the bridesmaids, thats what i did with my niece

Hi Alexis,
The correct term for her would be a junior bridesmaid, however, if there is another male available in the family, then have them be candlelighters, and she can still be in charge of the guest book. At my daughter`s wedding my youngest daughter was a candlelighter/guest book. The two girls wore a different color dress than the bridemaids, but they were just as sweet.
