Ushers are responsible for escorting guests to their seats and maintaining order during a wedding ceremony. They typically assist with seating arrangements and distributing programs.

An usher can be a part of either side - the brides' side or the grooms' side. An usher can be either male or female; can be a relative, a friend or even a member of the bridal party, usually a groomsman. If a groomsman also serves as usher, he will assist with pre-ceremony duties and after the guests are seated, he will take his position for the processional and stand-in with the rest of the bridal party.Typically, you would want to have 1 usher per every 50 guests to direct guests to the appropriate places, to help seat and to ensure the ceremony runs smoothly.**Note**... I use the word "he" for a groomsman, but a female can also stand in on the grooms side, but she would be called a grooms woman.
