How to Involve Siblings in Wedding

It depends on if you already have people in mind for these roles but here are some suggestions:

- Witnesses - One could be the witness on your side and one could be the witness on your fiance's.

- Reading - Again, you could have two siblings do a reading each. If your siblings are fairly young or not that comfortable public speaking, you could also ask them to do a joint reading. That would mean that more than two of them could have reading roles.

- Groomsmen - My fiancee has a best man but he's asked my brother and brother in law to be groomsmen. Which he's essentially just told them means getting to the ceremony earlier with him and directing guests to their chairs! So they'll essentially be welcoming guests.

- Getting ready - You could ask your female siblings to get ready with you too, which will make them feel part of your special day - without having to ask them to be bridesmaids. (Depending on how old they are), you could have prosecco with them in the morning while you get ready. They'll also be in all of the 'getting ready' pictures.

You could also look at if you have any instances in the wedding where it would be useful to have their help, without overloading them. For example, I have little cousins and I've asked them to hand out bangles (which my gran has made as wedding favours) to all our guests.

Depending on budget, you could also look at getting male siblings to have a little flower buttonhole that matches your bouquet, and the female siblings could have a corsage or something small to wear around their wrists (that won't be as expensive as bouquets and also means your bridesmaids will stand out).

I hope this helps.

Depending on the format of your reception and seating plan, you could ask each of them to be the "host" of a table, either alone or in pairs. It is zero expense and very little effort but lets them know that your family are a key part of your day running smoothly. They don't need to do anything formal as part of the role - the idea would be that their job is simply to make sure conversation flows on the table and check all of your guests are happy, feed back any issues to the best man etc.
