Help! Bridesmaid dropped out!

So sorry this has happened! It's perfectly acceptable to have uneven numbers. I do. I have 2 guys walking with 1 girl

Okay I didn't know if it would be awkward to have it uneven!

Not awkward at all! I would keep it as is.

It's fine to have uneven parties! Relationships don't come in matched pairs, do they? Please don't ask someone to step in, that would be hurtful to them to be "second choice". Remember these are people, not props for the wedding. It's easy to get lost in "wedding brain" and forget that these are your nearest and dearest. Let your BM know that she is welcome to attend as a guest, and that the door is open should she be able to get the dress/time to walk in the wedding party.

1 BM walks with 2GM. Problem solved. Focus on your friend.

One other quick thing, Samantha, it would be great for you to have an avatar photo so we can tell you apart from all the other double ring avatars! Contact admin if you're having trouble doing that.

I would keep everything as is. Uneven numbers are fine and honestly 1 less BM won't be noticeable

It can just be uneven. Not a big deal at all especially silly with the number in your wedding party. Can you cancel her dress order? I had a BM(my cousin) drop out because she has anxiety about being up in front of people. She has very los self esteem. I decided to ask a friend but it was months ago and nobody felt like an afterthought. I decided to still give my cousin her BM gift and she'll have her makeup done with us. Even though she's no longer officially a BM I still consider her part of the wedding.

It's fine. Leave it the way it is; many of my parties are uneven!

Have uneven numbers dont replace anyone

We're having 2 BM and 3 GM so they don't have to be even

My cousin step down as a bridesmaids based on her Financial situation and she lives in Cali and flying back and forward to NY would be a lot and even though she had her dress too. However I understand her reasoning so we have uneven bridal party but we are making it work

Uneven sides are fine!

We had an uneven party and it was just fine. Don't replace her.

I feel it is acceptable just be sure to let her know that it's not because you don't want her there. My MOH lives in AZ and due to financial problems had to drop out. I had already purchased her dress and was panicking until my cousin stepped in and said she'd be happy to take her spot but I didn't want to upset my MOH and make her feel expendable. So her and I had a conversation and she told me that she understood the situation and asked if we could do a face time during dinner so she could still give her speech that way it's a win win. So for something like this just talk to your BM and get her thoughts on this. More than likely she'll be ok with having someone step in.

Leave it as is. Odd numbers are fine. If you do ask someone else, they would find out they were a back up and that's very hurtful.

No. That's like B-listing your BMs. It's okay for it to be uneven.

Do you have a relative that would understand the situation and would step in?

Let it be uneven.

Leave it be! It's totally fine to be uneven. We have 5 BM and 7 GM!
