Only having one bridesmaid?!

My fiancé really wants to have two or three groomsmen, and I have options (what I feel are almost fillers) for bridesmaids, like best friend growing up, my cousins, his cousin, his little sister, etc. But I feel like it would be best to just have the one, my MOH my sister, and him just one his best man. I am so stressed not knowing who to pick and if it's okay to put the other people in when I'm not sure how it'll be, I think I'm more worried about people judging who I'm putting in because I don't have a lot of friends so it would be my sister two cousins and old childhood best friend.... help

Yes no fillers, you have two threads going. The sides can be uneven wait until 2/19 then decide.

Just wait on it, you don't need to decide now, you may have formed stronger friendships by then, but even if not, just one is great! there are people who chose to have no bridal party at all. But I'd wait until about 7 months before to decide on who you ask, that is one thing I would definitely have done differently

It's highly unlikely couples have the exact same number of close family/friends. It doesn't make sense to pick extra people to stand with just for the purpose of having symmetry.

It's okay to have uneven sides. Lots of couples don't have even WPs. Let FH have his GM, and if you decide you just want your sister, that's all you need. But wait a while to decide on a WP. It's way too early to ask. You have time, so don't rush into a decision. You may find that you become closer with someone else and really do want a second person in your BP, or you may find that you are certain you just want to ask your sister.

Don't feel pressured to add people as BMs. You don't have to have even sides. You're better only choosing the ones you REALLY want in your wedding than adding fillers. You may regret it if you add girls as fillers.

Thank you all so so much! It's really appreciated. I definitely will wait at least a year to ask. This has been something stressing me out since our engagement, but I feel better knowing what you've all said!

It's okay to be uneven. I'm planning on 1, and FH is planning on 2
