Bridesmaids & Groomsmen

Do you mean during the processional? No they would be guests seated in the pews.

Yes we each have our sets of who will be walking down the aisle with us but some of them are married or are in a relationship, we were concerned about maybe we needed to add their significant other to walk down with them or if we can put the ones that we have together

Nah not at all. I have been to plenty of weddings where there were wedding party members that were married and unless their spouse was in the party they sat as a guest.

Definitely not, they can walk with other members of the wedding party.

You don't need to add the SO's. They are seated as guests while your bridesmaids/groomsmen are up at the front. It's not like you're trying to set them up with the bridesmaid/groomsmen their walking down the aisle with, but if you're really that worried about it you could have the bridesmaids and groomsmen walk down separately.

We are not adding everyone's significant others. But I made sure to also not have a "wedding party" table so that everyone sits with the people they are with.

No you don’t have to have them walk with their significant others

They don’t have to walk with their SOs at the ceremony but they should be seated with their SOs at the reception

No, they walk with other member of the wedding party.

If we’d added SOs it would have doubled our bridal party, and my husband would have then had my best friends husband, who he barely knows, as a groomsman. No need to add them.

Absolutely not. As long as you seat them with their partners at dinner, you are being perfectly accommodating.

No way. We have 4 groomsmen and 4 bridesmaids. If I wanted more bridesmaids, I'd choose them. And they would not be my fiance's groomsmen's wives. [No offense to them, I just have closer friends I would choose.]

Absolutely not. That's not the rules lol. You select your wedding party and he selects his. It's based off the love you have for the few special people on your life. Significant others sit and watch in the audience. Never in the history of weddings have I heard of such.

No. The BM/GM's SO's would be sitting in the audience. They don't need to be part of the wedding party unless you want them to be. My FH was a GM for one of his friends last year, and I just sat with the rest of the guests.

No, definitely not necessary. Just be sure to seat them together at the reception!

Traditionally it is understood by wedding party members that they will walk with their assigned partner (for lack of a better term) for the recessional, and may be paired up for pictures too. Their significant others will understand that their love will walk with their bridal party partner, but they will reunite later on. Keep the non-bridal party members in their seats with the other guests during the ceremony!
