Letting guests know who's who in bridal party.

I put a page on my website introducing the bridal party - putting a bit of a cheesy biog about each person, and a photo that reflects who they are - this does not always mean it is the most flattering of photos, but if they will do fancy dress, then they cannot complain!

Seriously, though, they have had the opportunity to vet the page before the site went live, and I would change the photos if they asked me to. I probably wouldn't do photos on a board at the ceremony though. If we do have an order of service/order of the day, it will have a list of who's who, but just names, no other details, and no photos. I think our guests will know who everyone is by then by the time we've had hen and stag do's.....!

We had a little paragraph + photo for each on our website too. It's a fun way of letting people know who everyone is.

g...

I quite like this type of thing...I like having stuff to look at at so am a bit of a sign lover!

Same for me. I'm naturally quite shy and i'd feel pretty awkward about having my photo (& possibly text about me) on something that was on everyones seats/on display.

Have you double checked with them how they'd feel about it?

They can't be shy about having their photo taken when there are going to be hundreds of photos taken of them on the day! Lol.

I think having a photo and description on the website would be easier. Then those who are interested can have a look. Or you could have a note on the back of the order of service thanking each person.

I'm not so sure about having photos in the order of service or on an easle. Personally i think it's a bit over the top.

People will either work it out themselves or won't care who's who.

We did the website thing too. To be honest, I wouldn't enjoy sitting down to find a picture of my own ugly mug staring at me from a brochure! I hate having my picture taken normally and would feel very uncomfortable having one specially done for this reason.

Having your photos taken alongside a whole bunch of other people at the wedding is completely different. For starters, you aren't the only person having their photo taken; you're all dressed up with perfect hair and perfect make-up and a gorgeous outfit; you aren't the centre of attention - the bride and groom are; it's a happy occasion meaning you are naturally smiling and the pictures are just part of the day.

If you ask them to provide a photo they would be happy for you to use, then you might get an agreement, but I definitely would ask them first and if they say they would rather not, then you will have to respect that ?

I've put a who's who on the website. I've used facebook profile pictures - as they have specifically chosen these. They're all fun pics to go with the fun little description - which is more an insight into how i met them all. I won't bother with anything on the day, most people will already know anyway!

What website did you use? The one ive gone with atm doesn't allow me to have such a page

Mine is gettingmarried.co.uk and they have a page specially for who's who ready for you to load your pics and info!
