1 bridesmaid/3 groomsman?

Hey Name Twin! Same spelling and everything I recommend not filling the spot if you really can't think of anyone. Wedding parties don't need to be even at all. I kept even numbers in both mine and husband's sides but I had 3 bridesmen on my side so it was very uneven gender wise, but it didn't matter. You do still have plenty of time before you need to make a final decision judging by your wedding date. Good luck!

I'm not a fan of the uneven numbered bridal party, but that's just me, but I also don't understand why someone needs 7 or 8 bridesmaids. I think anything over 3 on either side is kind of overkill.

Personally, I would not want three standing up with the groom and just one girl on my side. Is there not another way to incorporate his friends into the wedding?

Our BP isn't even. You can have the GM come down first (with the groom) and then the girls could come down. It's been done. I promise lol

I feel the same way! I feel like total lame sauce because I feel like I have no friends who are girls! I have my sister and one friend. My FH will have his brother and two of his close friends standing with him. I really want to try to keep it even, so I might just try to ask one of my cousins, I'm just not sure yet!

Uneven bridal party will save you a lot of headaches don't ask people to be your bridesmaids if you don't WANT them there. good luck and welcome aboard!

I personally couldn't do an uneven party; I'm way too OCD for that. In reality though, there's nothing wrong with having an uneven party. 3:1 isn't that bad of a ratio. I'd say it's much better to have an uneven WP than have random people in your wedding... however, if it really bothers you, think outside the box. Do you have any close male friends that could be a "bridesman"?

I was in the EXACT same situation! Except my FH wanted to have 4 groomsmen and I only wanted my sister as a BM...in the end, I opted to have my sister as my MOH, one of my friends who I lost touch with and just recently began talking to again as a BM, my cousin who my parents basically raised as a BM, and my FSIL as a BM. It's an odd group of girls because no one really hangs out together, so I don't think I'm having a bachelorette party or anything. But I figured it would be nice to have an even number up there.

HOWEVER, I have seen where there is an uneven amount of BMs and GM. I really don't think it looks bad at all! It's YOUR and your FH's big day...do what you want

I used to feel like I couldn't have an uneven bridal party because it would look weird. When it came time to choose our bridal party, we realized that H had 7 and I only had 6. He kept pushing for me to ask our friend's sister, who I am also friendly with, to be in the wedding. I couldn't do it. At the end of the day, you realize that your bridal party should be close friends and family whom you love and can trust. I wasn't just going to ask anyone to be in my bridal party and I certainly wasn't going to tell H he couldn't have someone in his.

Seriously, go with your gut and go with who you want. No one will notice nor care that your bridal party is uneven.

We have an uneven bridal party. 3 BMs and 4 GMs. I had a 4th BM, but she moved across country and fell out of the wedding completely. I couldn't force myself to fill that spot with any random girl. I'm not close with a lot of girls, so I left it that way. I am excited about the three girls who will be standing up there with me. It'll all work out.

I am going to be in the same boat. I have a lot of friends but my closest best friend is the only one I really want to stand by my side. No reason at all to ask people for the sake of numbers.
