Bridesmaids

Do you have any sisters or brothers you could ask? What about your closest friend where you currently live? Just because your FH is having 5-6 does not mean you have to. I would pick the closest people to you and stick with that.

You don't have to have an even amount of bridesmaids to groomsmen either. so let's say if you only had 2-3 to his 5-6, that's perfectly fine. don't feel pressured to have to make it even

I don't recommend choosing people just to make the sides even. It is 100% OK to have uneven sides. I also wouldn't choose anyone just because they asked you to be in their wedding, or because you feel obligated to, or because someone else wants you to include them. Only include those who you truly want by your side on your wedding day. Pick those who you feel closest to. I would also recommend waiting until about 8-12 months before your wedding until you ask them to be in the wedding party. Relationships can and do change, and asking too early may make you regret it later on.

View Quoted Comment Honestly I don’t have many friends where I currently live. I’m asking my FH’s sister to be a bridesmaids and my one close friend where I currently live to be my maid of honor. Those are the closest people in my life right now but just feel like it might be weird having 2 bridesmaids and him having 5-6 groomsmen

No need to have even numbers. I didn't!! Most weddings these days do not have equal numbers. Best wishes!

You should ask those who are closest to you emtionally.

You should only ask those who you can't imagine not having standing my your side otherwise you could end up regretting it. My side of my bridal party only included one friend and it was someone I met through my husband otherwise my side included my sister, my brother, my brother's wife, and my husband's sister. If you can only imagine those two standing up to you then that's who you should include. Don't ask someone just so they can fill up spaces to even out your bridal party.
