Too many bridesmaids, too few groomsmen

Could you have 2 of your bridesmaids just walk with each other? It seems more important to have the people you want to be part of your day, rather than having the sides be even. And since it’s an even number, everyone would still have someone to walk with. IMO anything you decide to give the other 2 girls instead of being bridesmaids would seem like a consolation prize :/ I wouldn’t think making the sides even is worth potentially hurting a friend’s feelings or damaging a friendship

View Quoted Comment Wow I can’t belive I didn’t think of that! That’s such a simple solution and exactly what I will do. Thanks!

The sides don't need to be even, you can have two BMs walk together or have some of the GM walk with a BM on each arm. Anything else where they have a different title and don't walk just seems awkward and uncomfortable.

Eight people is a lot to me but not to others, it's a personal decision. Just remember that its more cost for bouquets, hair and makeup if you're requiring it, food for getting ready, gifts, and four more people for the rehearsal dinner if they have SOs. If you're able to afford that and want them with you, do it! Just don't make them different from the rest of the BMs

I’ve also seen it where one groomsmen walks down with 2 bridesmaids. It looks fine and no one really thinks anything of it. You could just have 2 of the groomsmen each walk down with 2 BMs

My matron and maid will walk down with the best man and my jr groomsmen will walk down the alse with my two jr bridesmaid.

View Quoted Comment I like this too! One of my bridesmaids is married so I thought about making her a matron of honor

I went to a wedding with 3 groomsmen to about 7 or 8 bridesmaids. It groomsmen just appeared from somewhere. I really don't remember. The bridesmaids just walked down the aisle by themselves.
