Uneven bridal party.

Allison, on June 22, 2019 at 7:31 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 19
My future husband wants 3 groomsmen. His brother, my brother and his best friend. I only want my future SIL and my SIL(married to my brother). I feel like I would have to pick another girl to make the sides even but I have no clue who I'd pick. Do I keep it uneven or just pick a good friend because I have to?

    Go uneven. If you can’t think of anyone to add then you have all you need.

    Thank you girls! If its common these days, how does the party exit the ceremony if uneven? Each girl and guy alone? Or partnered up with one single guy left at the end?

    Im in the same situation, my fh wants 3 but i have 4 girls, so, for the exits my maid of honor is just going to hold my kids hands (flower girl, ring bearer) because honestly.. thats the only thing that makes a bit of sense & wont look weird, for me.

    Keep it uneven. I think it's kind of bad to add someone just cause you want it to be even

    We’re having uneven sides. 3 groomsmen and 2 bridesmaids. When exiting, 2 of the groomsmen will walk with one of my sisters. Same for bridal party intros at the reception.

    We technically have 3 on each side but my sister is a bridesmaid and will also be performing our ceremony Haha. So she will walk down with a groomsman take her place as officiant and leave the bm side a little lopsided during the ceremony and then walk out paired with the gm she came in with haha. I'm not worried about it but for a minute there FH wanted me to add another girl to my side to even it out only 4 months before the wedding when my other girls have had their dresses for almost a year. I was like no. It's just gonna have to be uneven.

    No pick who you want. We are having 4 bridesmaids 2 groom women. At the end of the day it is the people we are closest to.

    Uneven parties aren't that uncommon these days. In fact, we're having one ourselves. my FH has picked 5 groomsmen (I had to talk him down from 8 haha) and I've chosen 4 bridesmaids.

    Everyone will pair off: MOH/BM, BM#2/GM#2, BM#3/GM#3, BM#4/GM#4/GM#5.

    I'd keep it uneven! We have 1 more GM than BM, I was in a wedding with 2 more BM than GM. I actually prefer it.

    We are uneven as well, since one of his friends cant make it. Noone will even notice!

    No need to have even sides! However, will one girl be the maid/matron of honor, and one just a normal bridesmaid? If so, I would add one more.
