Wedding Jobs for Friends That Aren’t in the Wedding Party

The wedding party is usually a small group of hand picked people and they are honored to be included in the ceremony. Not everyone can be a part of the service but they can help in other ways. This is free help for the new couple, and it allows others to be included and made to feel special too. The maid of honor and best man know what their responsibilities are but there are other wedding jobs for friends that aren’t part of the wedding party.


Along with the usual guest book attendant, bird seed bag attendants and car decorating jobs you will have other needs. Especially if you are planning your own wedding there are a few key things you will want to make sure someone else is taking care of.

If there are going to be elderly or handicapped guests you may want to have someone in the parking lot to make sure these special guests are able to park closest to the door or have your attendant park the car for them, especially if the weather is bad. For that same group it would be appreciated if your attendant were to offer and bring them a drink. Move people inside quickly by helping guests get seated by an escort who points the way to the restrooms, drink and smoking areas.

Probably THE most important wedding job a friend could perform is to babysit and remove the card box and wedding gifts promptly once the reception gets underway. The jobs presented here are all important and will add a personal touch that will be appreciated. With so much planning and such an important event you may even think of some other ways for friends to help that will make them feel involved and appreciated.
