Bridesmaids?

Hello everyone!!
So I have two female friends that are apart of my bridal party. We’re very good friends and my fiancé has four groomsmen but I don’t know who else I would add. I grew up with a dad being in the Air Force for 23 years constantly moving or having friends move away so I’m having a harder time with bridesmaids. I grew up with two boys, Nick and Nate, and consider them brothers. I’ve considered asking them to be apart of my bridal party because of how close we are but would that be to weird? My mom is all for it and stresses that they would definitely be there for me especially since they are like my brothers. She also stressed I don’t have to take the traditional route. Thoughts?

I think you should have your closest friends next to you on your wedding day and their gender shouldn’t matter.

I agree with Caytlyn. Your bridal party should be whoever you are closest with. We have 2 bridesmen in our wedding!

I would totally do it! Bridesmen is more common now and it's a great way to include all your closest friends.

First of all, you don't have to have even numbers on both sides. It's totally fine to have different numbers, as you and FH are different people. You should ask those nearest and dearest to you to stand up with you, regardless of gender. Your two guy friends could be your "bridesmen" if you want them to stand with you.
Just don't ask anyone out of obligation, or because you want even sides. These should be your closest friends/family. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

If you're really that close with these two guys definitely ask them! But there is also nothing wrong with you having 2 on your side and FH having 4 either!

My cousin Jesse is a bridesman. My brother, had I asked him, would have refused because he has a ridiculous attitude about it, but it is not weird at all! Even if you bridal party is uneven, that doesn’t matter either. My fiancé has three guys and I have three girls and a guy. Don’t worry about that. Just worry about having the people that support you the most there on your big day.
