How to Deal with an Uneven Wedding Party

Uneven wedding parties are a lot more common than you think! We'll have three on my side and two on FH's side. You could have the MOH walked down with one or two groomsmen and maybe have the others escort grandparents/mothers down the aisle? Or you could have each of them walk down alone, that's what we plan to do (unless we have the BM and groomsman escort family members, but bridesmaids will still walk alone). Either way, they could all still stand with you

1 vs 4 is way too uneven; 2-3 is doable, but this is too much of a gap. Space is a big limitation too. Having the guys come in alone would work too.

View Quoted Comment So you don't want to have all of the groomsmen standing and want to know how you can tell them that? I would just be honest and tell them that space is an issue. Have MOH and BM standing and still have the other three as "groomsman" just seated up front on the grooms side instead.

I don’t think that “imbalance” should prevent someone from being in your wedding party.

You could have his whole side standing there pre-ceremony and just have your MOH walk down the aisle alone, or with his BM.

I would just have one of the groomsmen stand on your side with your MOH, to even the sides out. Then have your MOH walk out with a GM on either side and the two other GM walk out together.

Just have the groomsmen walk in (or up the side) behind the groom and stand, then have your MOH walk alone. This is not a crisis and you should not "demote" people because it's uneven.

Completely agree with this. Your FH's friends shouldn't be punished because your friends couldn't follow through.

View Quoted Comment I like that idea of the MOH walking in alone. It would allow all the guys to be a part of the ceremony.

I agree with previous posts. Have the guys walk in from the side and your moh walk in alone. You can even have them all sit in the first row for the bulk of the ceremony. This happens a lot in church weddings so it won’t be questioned a lot. Then MOH and BM can stand up to hand you rings or bouquet(whatever your ceremony needs)
