I have 2 sisters and my fiancé has 2 sisters so they will automatically be my bridesmaids. I have an old friend who is separate from my group of friends so I would like to have her also, making 5. My group of girl best friends is 5...and I would live to include them, is there a 'name / title' I could give them? I think they would wear their own dresses in the same colour and I would get them wrist flowers or something like that. Pleeeease help. I want them to feel special also x

Could you not have your other friends as witnesses or to do a reading/speech?

I would like them to be like secondary bridesmaids rather than giving them random roles each. I was really wondering if there was a name for this so they could have a title? I've hear before of someone who did something similar and called them her "swans" is this a known thing?

So 10 that you want to include. How many wedding guests do you have? And do you plan on having flower girls and page boys? I seen a wedding were she had 70 day 120 night and she had 10 adult bridesmaids and just ushers. Bridesmaids dresses Were £10 each catalog sale lol and were lovely. All did each others hair and make up and brought there own shoes, They were all real happy to be involed in the brides day and the bride was real happy to. So if i was you i would just have all ten as bm's lol.
Never herd of secondry bms or swans, there either you bms or not, but you can give them a special task to make them feel special and part of your day like was said about by asking them to sign the register as your witness or by giving a reading, giving a toast, being (usherettes)

I've never heard of swans or anything like this. I think either bridesmaid or usherettes

You could have female ushers.

I've got 10 bm, 6 adults and 4 children and I've voted 10 normal bm in the poll, but I have heard of one bride calling them doves instead of bm which I thought was quite nice, it's your decision at the end of the day and you should feel comfortable in what you want to do before making any final decisions xx
it's been a long hard road, but hopefully we're getting
somewhere :) xx

I've gone with just having them all as bridesmaids either that or just stick with the five you've chosen and not have the 5from the group....I don't think they'd mind not being asked tho I do think definitely don't ask just a couple x
