More groomsmen than bridesmaids

Just have 7 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. It's not a big deal if it isn't even.

It doesn't matter a lick if your #'s don't match. Get over it and let your FH have as many people up there as he wants.

Or bridal party is uneven. He has 1 best man and 5 groomsmen and I have 1 maid of honor, 1 matron of honor and 2 bridesmaids. They'll only be paired for 30 seconds walking up the aisle so my 2 bridesmaids will be paired up with 2 groomsmen and the MOHs will walk with 1...

Say it with me now - your bridesmaids are not photo props. Stop caring about making it "even". Why do people feel the need to have the same number of bridesmaids and groomsmen? WHY?

Yeah I guess I'm over thinking it!

Ours is uneven, I have 6 bms and FH has 3 gms. I wasn't a big fan of it but I'm over it now lol

Sorry if my post above came across as rude, but this topic comes up every day and usually the OP gets dragged through the mud over it. Just think of it this way - your bridal party should consist of those people that you want to stand by your side for a very important moment in your life. It shouldn't matter how many they are, or whether they are family, or any of the other things people ask about.

Also, while not required of them they are probably going to provide a lot of emotional support during the planning and on the day of. So you don't want to include people who really aren't going to be there for you. Just read a couple of threads here about problems with bridesmaids and such and you'll get the idea really fast.

Thank you I appreciate your advice!

Hi Leslie, I think it is perfectly okay to have mismatched numbers! You can have some of your bridesmaids walk down with 2 groomsmen , one on each arm.

We are uneven, it was a big 'so what' when we picked and realized we were uneven. I think it only matters to the symmetrically challenged.

I agree! It doesn't really matter...I was the MOH in a wedding with 5 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen and it worked out perfectly! The first two groomsmen had a bridesmaid on either arm and the best man walked me solo down the aisle. My wedding this year will also have an uneven amount of bridesmaids and groomsmen. I'm having 5 bridesmaids and there will be 6 groomsmen! My MOH suggested that my FH's Best Man can stand at the altar with him instead of walking down the aisle. I'm sure you will find a great solution to make the uneven numbers work

Uneven numbers are fine! The most important thing is that you have the people who mean the most to you and your FH in your WP.

Thank you guys so much I am loving this app

I have 2 on my side and he has 3, we are just having the BM walk separate then the others in pairs

Like PPS have said ,its perfectly fine to be uneven ! that said, make sure your FH understands the extra costs of having such a large BP. my FH asked 8 GMs, having no idea that we are responsible for buying their boutonniers (if youre doing them) and gifts. FH had no idea that bridal party gifts are a thing. of course, he is happy to get each of his friends something to thank them for being in the wedding, but if he had known that, i suspect he would have had an easier time narrowing it down

Ours is even...so I don't have this issue but it's not a big deal if it was uneven.

Not a big deal - these are the people you love and want beside you on your wedding day. It doesn't matter if you have 1 and he has 5 or whatever. My FH was actually adamant that he wanted an even number (lol he cares about the oddest things), but I didn't care. It ended up working out that we coincidentally each had 6 people on our lists.
