<human>: I have 6 people in my bridal party - 2 girls and 4 guys (all close friends). Even though it's 2016 and wedding standards have changed a lot since, say, the 80's, I'm having a hard time finding examples of other brides who have had non-relative guys in their bridal party, besides a few photos I found on pinterest of a couple guys in a bridal party.

 

Knowing what to do with the girls is easy (one is my MOH) because there's literally a bazillion things on the internet for hair, clothing, etiquette, gifts, etc, however, I'm not sure what to do with my guys. The clothing part is probably the easiest for me - they're going to wear the same thing as the groomsmen and then wear a different colored tie and/or suspenders (everyone I asked told me it was a bad idea to have them wear a different color than the groomsmen, which will probably be grey pants with a white shirt).

 

I've messaged my MOH and BM about wedding stuff, asked them for advice on things, just general wedding talk but I feel like the guys are just gonna show up on the day of the wedding and be there. Should I include them in anything? I've never been in a wedding and I've only been to 2 weddings in my adult life so I'm not even sure exactly what BM's are suppose to do in the first place! And then I have mostly guys as BM's and there's barely anything for me to go off of. The guys will be at my bachelorette party and wedding shower for sure. But do they get reading with us on the day of the wedding? I'm not having them get ready with my FH and his GM but I don't know what else to do with them. Would they just hang out with us and chill while we get ready? I'm paying for my MOH and BM hair & makeup but obviously the guys don't need that, should I do something else instead for them? 

Sorry this got long.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: do any of you have male friends as bride(men) and/or can you give me advice on what to do with them? :)
