No bridal party

We are having a smaller wedding (approx 50 people) and don’t plan on having a bridal party. We are having our siblings be our best man/maid of honor.

Looking for creative ideas that people have done to still include close friends/ make them feel special and get photos with them.

An idea I had was to invite my closest girlfriends an hour early for a toast with the photographer there.

Open to any creative ideas-even just creative unique ideas to ensure our guests to have a wonderful time.
