Bridesmaids 5 groomsmen 1

We ran into this problem as well. So we decided to just have a MOH and Best man but no official bridal party so nobody will be standing up. I have robes and champagne glasses for all my girls for getting ready and plan to include all of them in my bridal shower and bachelorette!

Well I have 5 bridesmaids and FH has like 10 groomsmen 😆 it doesn’t bother me if it looks uneven as long as we both are happy, but just go with your guts if you feel like you won’t be happy with pictures.. I always say I’m planning to get married once and I wouldn’t want to miss out in my bridesmaids and the whole bonding experience

I don't think it's fair that your FH gets to choose how many people are on your side of the wedding party. It's fine that he wants to have one groomsman, but that doesn't mean you should exclude your friends.

Anyway, other ways you can include them...ask them to do readings, have them get ready with you, invite them dress shopping. If someone offers to host a shower or bach party for you, these friends can still be invited.

You could have your girls walk down the aisle but only have your MOH stand beside you during the ceremony, the others can sit in the front row. I’ve been to weddings where all the wedding party sits except for the BM and MOH, and ones where only the couple stands.

Ask whoever you want to be BM and your H does the same, it does not have to be even. That's a really stupid reason to not include your nearest and dearest friends and family.

View Quoted Comment I asked my best friend to be my maid of honor in a cute way. Then for the rest of my girls I just told them we will not be having a bridal party and we will have getting ready pictures (cute robes and a champagne pop) and a fun bachelorette and bridal shower! They were happy about it because they got to pick their own dress and not spend too much money!
