Bridesmaids far out number groomsmen. How to handle this?

I had 8 BMs and my husband had 6 groomsmen. No one cared. Those are the people we wanting standing by our side that day and I wouldn't changed it!

I have 7 he has 5. I almost had 8. I would say if these are the girls you picture sharing the day with getting ready and all that and you can't picture it with them as just a guest, I'd say screw the norm and go for it.

Having an unequal amount of bridesmaids to groomsmen is not a problem, but having 10 bridesmaids seems ridiculous.

Odd numbers are fine since we have odd numbers we are doing a sweetheart table instead of having the bridal party sit with us. I think you should both pick who you want standing with you and if it comes out to be an odd number that is totally fine

Just have him and his 3 stand at the alter, then have yours walk down alone. I dont think it is that big of a deal that there will be a longer line of bridesmaids then groomsmen at the alter

They all can walk alone like @Lisa suggested and call it a day. This is not a big deal, a lot of people don't have even bridal parties, I had 3 and DH had 5. No one thinks about it other than you.

10 x gift cost

10 x hair/make-up cost

10 x bouquet cost

20 x rehearsal dinner cost

50 x the aggravation and stress!

Having un-even sides is not a big deal at all! FH has 2 more groomsmen than me...plus 2 ushers...he's such a diva Like @Lisa said, have the groomsmen file in and stand at the altar then the bridesmaids come in one by one. For the processional you can have the first 3 bridesmaids escorted out by a groomsman then just have the rest of them walk single file out of the ceremony, or have everyone walk single file. Not a big deal

Uneven is not a problem. 10 is. cut it down. Ideally, everyone at your wedding has been with you through 'thick and thin", but that is massive and you're going to be stressed out from now until then. Not to mention, as Nancy did, the expense.

Or you can have the grromsmen escort two out at a time and have the other three walk out alone. Do you have any flower girls or ring bearers? Maybe the bridemaids could walk with them.

Fellow 10 BM bride here. I love all my girls and am honored to have them stand with me and commit to the expense of being a bridesmaid. Really, I could not be more appreciative and think such a large group will definitely be a great time.

BUT...10 is a LOT. I did not realize how many it was when I allowed FI to convince me to have a huge bridal party. The cost of gifts for 10 people is huge, and I know my MOH is pulling her hair out trying to coordinate everyone for my shower and bachelorette. Retrospectively, I am much closer to some of my BMs than others. Can you cut your list to 6-8? I think that's much more manageable and will also be far less lopsided.
