Do you have 12 first cousins, 4 brothers, 3 soon-to-be brother-in-laws, and 5 best male pals? Sounds like you have a groomsman overload problem. But not to worry -- even if you can't have 20 groomsmen (a logistical nightmare), you can designate several male pals as ushers. As a rule of thumb, look to have one usher to seat every 50 guests.

Duties
Ushers escort guests to their seats before the ceremony (guiding female guests by the arm), roll out the aisle runner (if you have one), and act as general guest guides.

After all, if you have too many people traipsing up and down the aisle, your ceremony may drag on a bit.

Junior Ushers
If you want to include your 16-year-old brother or cousin in your wedding, make him a junior usher. He can wear a tux and accompany the older ushers, seating guests as they arrive.
