I have a huge dilema. I have about 8 girls and 8 boys between the ages of 8-12yrs that I have no role for. I would really like for them to participate in my wedding and I need a classy way to have them participate. I already have my flower girl, ring bearer, and bible bearers. I have 10 bridesmaids nad 10 groomsmen. Although my church is large I don't want to be tacky.

You could have a few of the younger children handing out programs, bubbles, rose petals, etc before the ceremony. One or two could perform a reading if they are old enough.
During the reception have two of the kids assigned to oversee the guestbook and/or help guests find their place cards and seating.
Instead of including young children in the bouquet and garter toss, have a Teddy Bear Toss all their own. Each bride and groom teddy bear measures 5" tall. Teddy Bear Toss includes bride and groom teddy bear with white or ivory veil, bouquet, and bow tie accessories.

How about using a couple of them as paiges to carry the tail of your dress? You would just have to make sure that they get to their parents when they've escorted you to your seat. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
One could be the bellringer (rings bell to announce that the bride is about to enter). Others could decorate the honeymoon "getaway" car, gueard the gift table and make sure the cards saty with the goift ithey came with.
