Uneven number of wedding party members...Have them walk together?

Im having the guys just walk in on their own froman outside locatioin.

then the girls will walk down by themselves. I never liked being paired up wtih a stranger.

I would have one of the guys walk in with 2 people. Usually the last guy since you want the MOH and BM to walk in together.

I would have them walk alone. And not just because its uneven, but I hate walking with someone. you have to been on the same pace and lock arms, all while smiling and holding a bouquet. its just weird. You can have them walk alone there will just be less space in between them while they are walking.

I would put MOH/BM together, pair up the others, and have one girl walk with 2 guys. That should do it.

Or, have them walk alone, maybe alternate GM/BM/GM/BM etc. You would then start and end with a man.

We had one GM pull out due to family illness and ended up with 5 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. DH's sisters and BIL stood up so since the three are attached to the hip we had them walk together and everything worked out fine. I think the uneven party added more interest to the photos

I have 7 and DH has 9 guys. I am having 2 girls walk with 2 guys on each their arms.

Dh was in a wedding where there were 2 extra GM and he and the other GM walked down together. It was kinda funny.

I agree that it's awkward to walk with a stranger! I like the idea of two girls with one guy (That doesn't sound inappropriate at all!!) but we have more guys than girls, so it would have to be one bridesmaid and two gm. So out of the two choices of alternating bm/gm walking separately, or having all the gm come down, then the bm after them, what sounds best?

@Maltese I love that pic! So cute.

@Kathryn love that! We are all about being silly and FH gm are all really fun guys, so I could definitely see them being ok with walking together lol

Having the BM come down last, alone. IMO

So do the 2 BMs with 1 GM...it will still look good. Trust me.

As for being awkward walking with someone you don't know, I've been in plenty of weddings where I didn't know the GM I was walking with before the night before the wedding. And it was fine.

Actually, except for DH's siblings and a married couple we had stand up as well, nobody actually knew the person they were walking with before the rehearsal due to people living in different states.

Most of my wedding parties have the guys walk in first, all together, with me. The girls come in one by one. They leave in couples and triplets if needed.

Are you talking about walking into the ceremony, leaving or going into the reception?

Walking in my guys will all walk in one after the other. Then FH with his mom, my parents then the BM's then me and my dad. After all the girls are walking out with a GM. I would have one girl walk out with 2 GM. They will all meet at the RD so it won't be that awkward. They can have fun with it. And have the same people walk together when they walk into the reception if you are doing intros.

You could have the guys up at the front standing next to the groom and just have the girls each walk down separately

I like when the guys stand up front and the BM walk down before the bride. Then, they link up for the recessional and intro to the reception. Just have the last BM walk with 2 GM!

My brothers wedding party was uneven too. 3 girls, 4 guys. They had two guys on each side of one girl. (this was walking out after the ceremony) as for going into the reception one of the groomsmen (my brother) walked in with my mom.

I am with Celia's way of doing it. It's how we're doing it. I don't like the big procession thing at the start anyway. Just have the groomsmen and the groom enter before and take their places and then have the BMs walk alone.

IM with annakay and nicola

Perfect. Love the idea of the guys all walking in, followed by bridesmaids etc, then leaving ceremony in pairs/three's. Thank you all so much...knew I could count on ya'll!
