Roles for family members in wedding?

[SixteenTwelve]

So far:
My dad: FoB, walking me down the aisle etc.
Future BIL: Best Man
My SIL (DBs wife): bridesmaid
My Niece: Flowergirl

My family are massive on people feeling left out of things so I really want to also include the following people so we don’t have any upset and also there is precedent because everyone was “included” in my brothers wedding a few years ago:
My 2 brothers
Both our mums
Future FIL
My Nephew (will be 14, this is the one I am really struggling with as I expect he would be content not to have a role but his sister is my flowergirl and I’m always extra conscious of making sure he doesn’t feel different to her as he is my brothers step son but accept this could be projection on my part!)

My parents suggested my brothers and nephew are ushers but my fiancé has friends he wants to have as other groomsmen so this doesn’t seem like a fair suggestion.

I need two people to be witnesses and at least one person to do a reading. What can they all do?

My 2 brothers did readings, our mums were our witnesses.

Could FIL do the bit where you're announced into the wedding breakfast? And if your nephew would be content with no role maybe give him a "non-speaking" part like being in charge of choosing which song gets played straight after the first dance to kick off a party vibe?

Your brothers and nephew can be ushers. It won’t make much difference to your DH, he can still have his friends be ushers but it’s tradition for brides brothers to be included. They don’t really do much except wear a suit. Parents of the bride and groom don’t need a role over being MOB, MOG etc, but if you want to give them roles then ask them to help with things on the day, like paying suppliers or something.

Everyone you are related to doesn't need to be 'doing a job'.

It is lovely to "just be" at your dcs' weddings. No real responsibility and time to chat with people and just enjoy the day.

Yes, someone can do a reading if you want them to, but there are only so many things to be read.

Would the 14 year old be willing to do some filming / videoing ?
Someone filmed everyone arriving at the Church at our wedding, and it is lovely to look back on all these years later. (You might have to give some direction as to what you are asking him to do).

Another job it is great to have someone do is collect people for the next photo - so the photographer can just focus on taking the shot, then taking the next one. Speeds things up no end and means you don't look back and find Grannie isn't on any of your photos as she didn't hear the photographer say "Bride's Family".

Who is taking any gifts from the Reception / looking after things at the end of the evening ? Is there someone who would take on that responsibility ?

It's lovely you are trying to include everyone.
We did the same but less people thankfully.
Found out that only over 18's can sign the register.
We were told that younger is ok if Gillick competent but that they would decide on the day.
Wasn't worth the risk or upset so changed the jobs

Could your nephew walk your Mum down the aisle?

What about managing the guest book for my nephew?

I have asked one of my brothers to do a reading in the ceremony as well as FIL. We are going to ask both mums to be our witnesses. Older brother is making our cake, I don’t know whether that is enough or whether I could ask him to do a reading too?
