Picking Bridesmaids ! Help!

Having an uneven party is kind of a trend these days. My fiance and I are just having one and one but we would've had 4gm and 3bm. My cousin ended up getting pregnant and was due on my wedding day so that was a no go. I decided to just have my sister and he will be having his best guy friend. I DID NOT want to look at my wedding pictures 10 years from now and regret what I saw. I only wanted family because friends will disappear.

First off, you don't have to have even sides. That was a thing a long time ago, but nowadays more and more couples are doing uneven sides deliberately, or it just works out that way.

When deciding on your bridal party, it should never be about numbers. It should be about having your nearest and dearest standing up with you on the most important day of your life! You should never ask anyone you aren't close to. Being a family member doesn't automatically guarantee you a spot in someone's wedding. Often times bridal parties are made up of friends of the bride more than family members. It just depends on who you have in your core circle. Choose the ones closest to you, whether that's 2 people, or 7. Good luck.

I wanted people that I was close with standing up with me. So, I chose friends. I have cousins but I only see them at Christmas. I gave them something to help out with so they are still involved so that's something you can do if you want your cousins to feel included.
