So ladies I need some advice/help. I currently have 2 bridesmaids and 1 jr bridesmaids while my FH has 3 grooms and wishes to have 1 more. So I would need to add 1 more. I thought about asking my FH aunt to be my 1 more. Her daughter is our flower girl so I thought it would be weird but then I was thinking that if she were a bridesmaid she would be able to calm the flower girl down and help. But the other part is my FH other aunts daughter is my jr bridesmaids so it makes it even weirder. I didn’t want to exclude anyone or include anyone and make it weird so I’m unsure of what to do. The aunt id like to have as a bridesmaid is about 34 and we talk a lot and like to go shopping together sometimes I’m 21. So what should I do?

You don't need to have even bridal parties. I wouldn't add someone to your bridal party just for the sake of adding someone. If you want, one bridesmaid can just be escorted down with 2 groomsmen.

Hi Madison!

I’ve been in a few bridal parties and very often the number of people in the brides party vs grooms party has varied. I’ve walked down the aisle alone (without a groomsmen) and have walked down the aisle with two groomsmen because the groom had more people than the bride and she didn’t wish to include anyone else.
If you would like to include both women, you could have one do a reading or play a special role in the ceremony to be inclusive and have them both get ready with you to assist with the Jr Bridesmaid and flower girl getting ready. In my experience the more people to help the better.
Good luck!

You definitely don't need to add one more just to make things even. Both bride and groom should choose their party based on who they're closest with--it's more than okay to have uneven sides.

Hey Madison. As the PPs have mentioned, you don’t have to have an equal number of groomsmen to bridesmaid. It’s quite common to have unbalanced numbers. Would you be comfortable doing this?
