Well I was going to have an uneven bridal party... but I just evened it out (not for the sake of having it even, just for the sake of drama).

I don't think people should be restricted to having an even number of guys and girls. Any good photographer can make uneven bridal parties look great in pictures, there are so many different poses than just standing in a straight line. If these are the people that you want most in your wedding party, go for it.

I don't have pictures but we're going to be uneven. I would ask people to be in the WP because I care about them and they support my FH and I. I wouldn't include or exclude anyone on the basis of how it will look in pictures.

Having an uneven wedding party is perfectly fine! You shouldn't pick people just to even out the sides, you should pick them based on the fact that you can't picture them not standing up there with you on your wedding day

A photographer should be able to make the pictures work well, if that's what you're worried about.

I had this question a week ago because I lost a bridesmaid, but I was wondering how would you do the processional?

We have an uneven bridal party! My FH has 4 groomsmen and I have 5 BM. His brother was supposed to be his 5th but cant (long story) so we are just leaving it as is. I agree with the others, your photographer should be able to pose you so it doesnt look akward.

We are having an uneven number in our bridal party. My FH will have one more GM than I am BM's. We also only have a FG but no RB. At first I was a little concerned but I am over it now, I figure it will all work itself out! There are other people that I could ask to be one of my BM but my problem is I have picked alll of the obvious choices and now it would be between choosing one of FH's 4 sister, which i am not prepared to deal with! Or pick one girl from a group of 4 of our close freinds, which I also didn't want to do! And I don't want a giant bridal party so there so there is no way I would ask all of them! So uneven it is and I'm sure our pictures will look perfect!!

@ James to be, maybe you could have two groomsman walk with one bridesmaid?

We did it. We just had everyone walk in alone.

You could maybe have a maid of honor or a best man walk in alone and then pair up as many people as you can if you really want those pairs?

I've seen a lot of different options for uneven parties. FH was in a wedding where all the groomsmen came out from the right side with the groom spaced a few seconds apart, and the bridesmaids went down the center aisle ahead of the bride. Another option is to put 2 with 1 to even out how people walk down, or have everyone pair up except for the best man or MOH (whoever stands out) and have them walk alone. If you have more than 1 extra man, you could have that extra groomsmen walk mom or grandma down the aisle, etc. Tons of options.

A lot of times the girls walk in by themselves...so if you are going that route, an uneven wedding party definitely doesn't matter....they are very common these days!

James to be-if you are having an extra guy, you could just have the best man stand with the groom instead of escorting a BM down the aisle.

I have been involved in several events that had uneven parties. It will work out. I have also been involved with weddings that the bride or groom added additional people to the wedding party so it will be even......usually and specifically on several occasions the addition was not what they hoped for and they in hind sight were disappointed they added the person. I hope this helps! : )

We may be having an uneven bridal party. Two of our groomsman's wives are expecting anytime between the week before and after our wedding date. Fiance' has a couple back-up groomsmen just in case, but still I'm a little wondering if it will turn out uneven. On the bright side, most things usually work out

We have an uneven bridal party too...

4 bm 1 flower girl & 3 grooms men!

im hopeing our pics dont look werid!

Our wp is uneven. I have 4 girls and he has 2guys. We plan on having the guys just standing up front and only the girls walk in. In the end it shouldn't always be about looks but actually who you want standing by your side as you make a very important commitment.

I see this all the time. Yesterday, my bride had her brother as her "man of honor" and the sides were all mixed up. It was great. Lots of uneven bridal parties; go with your heart!

Thanks everyone!!! I'm have an OCD tendency with things being even, but you are all right. The photographer will figure it out for me.

I am def uneven as I will have 1 MOH and 2 FGs but FH will have a BM and a GM. So, during the recessional (since the 2 FGs will already be sitting down), my MOH will walk alone and the BM and GM will follow single file.
