What duties should the "houseparty" help with?

Well I have been to a few weddings that have a few people listed as "House Party", they have helped with greeting, handing out programs, handing out bubbles after the wedding for the send out, etc.

Who would usually handle these things? Bridesmaids?

Traditionally there is no such thing. These duties would be handled by whomever was selected by the bride to do so. These people are not considered part of the bridal party, do not dress similarly to the bridal party and usually are not a part of the rehearsal. The bridesmaids usually aren't involved with these tasks since they are busy doing other things at that time.

I hope this helps.

Thats exactly what I needed to know. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to ask someone to do something that should be handled by a bridesmaid.

Along the same lines- my fiance has asked 2 of his friends to be ushers, seperate from his groomsmen. Is this inappropriate?
