How should I handle a groomswoman?

One of my best friends is a guy and FH only wanted his brothers as groomsmen, so my best friend is a bridesman. If FH wants her to be on his side, that's cool, offer to have her join you and the bridesmaids for the shower and bachelorette, but leave it up to her if she wants to attend those events or hang out with the guys during those. I'm guessing that she probably will want to hang out with the girls even if she is standing on the guys side, I know my friend will want to go to the guy events.

My daughter is going to be FH's best woman. He a grey/silver suit, so she is going to be in a silver dress. They are going to pick out the dress together. Why not have her be a grooms woman, and wear something coordinating with the rest of the groom's side?

One of my attendants is a guy. FH's groomsmen are wearing black and my girls are in champagne dresses, so my bridesman is wearing a more champagne-colored suit. She could stand on your FH's side and wear something similar to the other groomsmen, or complimentary to your bridesmaids. Mixed-gender parties are quite common now!

FH's best friend since grade school is a woman. She is the one who introduced the two of us so we is FH's Best Woman. She will be wearing a black dress in a similar style to the bridesmaids dresses, will be accessorized in the groom's color (groomsmen have accents of green, BMs are wearing purple) and will be carrying the same bouquet as the BMs.

My take on BMs and GMs is they should stand on the side of the spouse they are closer to. If she is closer to your FH, have her be a groomswoman. If you have a brother that he isn't particularly close to but you want to include, make him a bridesman.

I love, love, love to see mixed gender sides at weddings! I think it is really sharp to see the groomswoman in the same dress as the bridesmaids but same color as the groomsmen. Seen it twice and it just looked really classy and elegant.

I was the Man of Honor in a friend's wedding from college about four years ago. I stood next to the bride since I was her supporter. I participated in all of the pre-wedding events with my friend save the bachelorette party, but that was only due to a scheduling conflict and the blessing of the bride to be absent. Think a less attractive (and not smitten) version of Patrick Dempsey from the movie.

Edit: I wore the same suit as the groomsmen did, and it wasn't awkward at all.

I'm totally for mixed gendered wedding parties but if his sister is standing on your side, I would keep all the ladies on your side regardless

FH's best "man" is his best female friend and I am so excited that he picked her. She is actually more comfortable in pants than she is in a skirt and we both were surprised to see her in a wedding dress when she married her wife. We gave her the option of wearing a more fitted feminine suit or a dress and she told me it was up to me "because [she] can barely dress herself" haha So for her, we are thinking of putting her in a well fitted female suit that will be in a similar style to the men. She actually already found several that I LOVE and that I think she will look great in. Also, FH's sisters are standing on my side and my brother is standing on his side, but we are both very close with each other's siblings. I see no issue with her standing on either side of the aisle, but if she is very close to your FH than I would lean more towards his side.

FH is having a female friend stand with him. She will be wearing a charcoal gray dress, as FH and the other groomsmen will also be wearing charcoal suits. The bridesmaids are wearing navy blue.

If his sister is a BM then personally I would make the friend a BM too. Otherwise, I would say you can mix it up however you want. If you want to put all the girls on your side you can. If you want to put everyone on the side of who they are closer to, you can do that too. It's really about what you all want to do. As far as what they should wear, you can have all the girls in the BMs dress and the guys all in the same suit no matter what side they are on. You can also have different outfits based on side rather than sex. It's really up to what you want and also what your BP will be comfortable with.
