Ideas to include fiancé's stepbrothers in wedding

My fiance has two stepbrothers who are 19 year old twins. Fiance has gotten closer to them in recent years. My fiance has picked six groomsmen. We are thinking about having them as ushers. We are looking at other ideas except for readers because we are having a Catholic wedding and fiancé's stepmom and stepbrothers aren't religious at all.

My niece's half siblings (one male one female) were really hurt to be left out. She had other half and step sibs from other parent included. She had them hand out programs at the door as others were ushers.

Another idea I've seen is to have them asking folks to sign the guest book, if you're having one.

Bottom line is to ask them if they'd want to be included. That is, make sure you let them know you want to include them but won't be upset if they prefer to decline. Note: Some 19 year old would hate it, but still be glad you offered.
