Including parents and brother of deceased spouse on wedding programs

I am a young widow and I am remarrying. I am still very close to my deceased spouse's family. So close, in fact, that his father and step-mother will be providing the music ministry for the ceremony and his brother will be an usher. How do I refer to them on the program? They are much more to me than "friends of the family", and I can't call them my in-laws any more. Please help!

Thanks,

Susan

Dear Smarcos,

Just use their names and refer to them as Honored Guests.

Best wishes,
