A Creative Way to Involve More People in Your Wedding

I don't know about you guys, but I hate that I couldn't have a whole gaggle of bridesmaids. I really do. All of my friends (both men and women!) are so important to me that I want them all to have a special role in the Big Day, which is why I ended up doing this:

In part to help me and AP out, and in in part to honor each one of our friends, we've delegated--and titled--very specific duties to certain people. For instance, I have one amazing friend who is a truly gifted editor. Seriously, the girl loves nothing more than finding typos. Therefore, we asked her to be our Director of Words. She'll help me write my vows, and proofread everything and anything with words on it that goes into the wedding--invitations, escort cards, etc.

Another friend oozes sex appeal like no one else I know. She's my__Director of Lingerie__. She'll help plan the lingerie-shower part of the bachelorette party, help me figure out what to wear under my wedding dress, during my first night as a married woman and throughout my honeymoon. Oh, and she'll also help me prepare for this (Dad, don't look!).

And instead of the term "personal attendant," which just doesn't really feel like me, I've asked one of my best friends to be The Regulator. She'll work with our day-of wedding coordinator to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Other titles include: VP of Fun (she'll get the party started), Director of Champagne (hello, toasts!), Art Director (in charge of everything paper and theme) and Director of Desserts (someone needs to be the tiebreaker between AP and me!).

Hrm, I really could use a Director of Dance. Any takers?
