Bridesmaids but no Groomsmen

Can some of your bridesmaids stand next to you, and some next to your FH?

Uneven sides are totally fine. Ultimately 5 bridesmaids and no groomsmen is a bit extreme on sides and maybe pairing it down to 3 girls may be better.

But at the end of the day, whoever you feel is closest should be on your side and if your FH doesn't want anyone, that is OK too.

As for ceremony, no change. Girls can walk down the aisle themselves and the wedding party pictures can figure itself out.

That's exactly what we're doing! I'm having two ladies stand up for me on my wedding day, but he won't be having anyone as he hates the idea of a wedding party, lol. Originally we weren't going to have anyone at all, but...that changed.

Group photos will be just me and the girls - I don't see a need to do one with me, FH, and my bridesmaids. I haven't decided on reception logistics yet.

So originally I kind of always figured we'd do 4-5 friends on each side as the wedding party, and then have both of our younger siblings (my brother and his sister are the same age) as the reception hosts ... but this was sort of all in my head and I never really talked about it with him so I think he just feels excluded from the plan.

Maybe we can just cut out the wedding party idea altogether and just have our two siblings stand in instead? I'd love to do just 2 or 3 bridesmaids but it would be difficult for me to pick the 'top 2 or 3' out of my 5 close friends, so in some ways I can see how people decide to forego everything altogether. Although it's definitely not how I pictured things (I never went to my prom, so I really wanted the whole experience of matching dresses, getting ready together, group photos, bachelorette party, the whole bridal party shebang), but I guess that's what compromise means haha.

I think it's perfectly fine. Have BM's walking in one by one and then u. Just take pics with your girls and then with husband. He doesn't have to take pics with them.

Don't overthink this! You can absolutely just have bridesmaids if you want to!

Reception Entrance - skip it, or just announce the bridesmaids as a group or one at at time

Group Photos - still do all of the bridesmaid pictures, and have some group pictures with the bridesmaids and both the bride and groom

Ceremony - just have the bridesmaids process and recess by themselves, and they can stand up next to you, stand on both sides, or whatever you want!

Limo Ride - if this is just transportation for the wedding party, then that's what it is!

Don't overthink it This is all super easy to adjust!

@WWLynnie - True, sometimes I over think things, thanks bunches for the advice and tips! Who knows, maybe he'll see all the fun and be jealous he didn't have any groomsmen haha
