How many bridesmaids is proper?

Your sides don't have to be even. Don't ask anyone just to match your FH

What CMC said

I think we're having two people each because one person each can't come due to another wedding they are attending a day before ours in another state they are a couple so at least it stayed even although my Fiancé has more people if we needed but I don't think I do honestly.

Sides don't have to be even. And 3-5 would be ok for your size, if you had like 10 it could look off but really it comes down to what you want and who you want to stand with you. We are inviting 118 people (including bridal party) I have 4 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl.

I don't think there's a specific number of bridesmaids you should have. I have four and my FH has five. I just chose the girls I was most comfortable with and who I could trust. You don't have to add that girlfriend to your bridal party JUST to have someone to get excited with. But overall, since my mother is paying for the wedding, I would try and honor whatever she wishes that I'm willing to compromise on. Good luck!

How come it matters who's paying for it to decide how many people you need in your wedding party? How come your Mom doesn't like the idea of more? They usually buy their own dress so besides a bouquet what else would your Mom have to pay for to have more of a wedding party?

Sides don't have to be even. Also, your wedding is not until next May? Too early to ask your bridal party. Things change in all that time.

You don't have to have an even BP. Fh can have 5 on his side and you can have 3. However, it to soon to ask your BP.

My FH and I each have 8 Bridesmaids and groomsmen. Our wedding is only about 60 people including our bridal parties. So ours is huge especially for the size of our wedding but we didn't care because we really wanted all those people by us. There's no right or wrong. Ask the people you each want to ask

There is no rule as to how many people is proper to have in your bridal party. You can have an many or as little as you want. Just food for thought though, the more people you have in your BP the more complicated it gets. I am having 6 BM and my FH is having 6 GM, and I think it has been working out fine so far. But I have seen wedding parties of 10 people on each side and that tends to get pretty crazy. You should be fine with 4 or 5.

There's no rule on the number of people ....and yours and the grooms side do not have to match! I have 5 he has 4. We are inviting 130... it's a matter of having who means the most to you up there with you!

Girl I was dead set on having an even bridal party too. But, I thought to myself, why? Who cares? As long as there is some sort of organizational order!

I'm having a 90-100 person wedding.

4 groomsmen and 6 bridesmaids.

As PP have side sides don't have to be even. My wedding is also a church wedding 120-130 people and we are having 5 bridesmaid and 5 groomsmen

Uneven is fine. From the uneven weddings I have been in, the guys have liked looking like hot stuff walking two girls down the aisle.
