Wedding Party Line Up

Amber, on March 27, 2015 at 7:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 20

I know I have plenty of time to think about this but I was looking to see how you all decided who is paired up with who and in what order. My thing is my FH little brother (who is 10) will be in the wedding party. Obviously he is the shortest...My FMIL was saying he should walk down with one of my sisters 2nd in line...I think it might look weird having the shortest groomsman second in line...thoughts? How did you decide your line up??

    I am doing mine by height, starting after the MOH and BM. They will go from shortest to tallest, mainly because I'm the shortest at 4'10. I figured no ones feelings can really get hurt if they are lined up by height

    We have one husband and wife, best man and maid of honor, and that left us 4.

    These two kinda previously knew each other, and the other two do know each other. Tadaaa! Ours was easy. Smiley smile

    ETA: And order of walking, I don't care. Maybe I'll take a look when we're together @ the rehersal, but it's really not important to me.

    We have 4 couples in our wedding party and then 4 people who are not couples. We paired two of the couples up, the other two were split because one is my MOH and one is the BM, so the MOH's husband is paired with the BM's wife. As for how they are walking, after the MOH & BM, the rest of the wedding party are equal so it doesn't really matter how they are walking.

    I am also doing by height. I'm short and so are my 2 MOH. So just going shortest to tallest. No ones feeling gets hurt and I don't look like a midget standing next to some people Smiley smile

    I have 3 couples and 2 odd ball GMs. The MOH/BM aren't a couple so they will walk together. The other 2 couples will walk together, I'll figure out the others from there. Doesn't matter what order they stand in to me.

    I'm in the middle height wise but my MOH will be the tallest, so I'm lineing them up tallest to smallest. I think the BM is slightly shorter than the other groomsmen, but we will still line them up tallest to smallest after him.

    We have an all female bridal party (with the exception of the male rb). I'm having Moh's walk down together, then BM's together (or vice versa), then fg and rb together, then fw and her mom, then me and my mom. We are all short! I'm only 5'3, my fw is only 5'. The tallest is a JR bridesmaid! She is 15 and taller than me! I'm guessing about 5'5. Our Moh's both are about the same at 5'3. Our other Jr bridesmaid is about 5'2.

    ETA: Sorry for all the double posts! I don't know why it keeps doing that!

    So do people usually have the Jr Bridesmaid/ Jr. Groomsmen walk down last? Technically my FH brother is a Jr. Groomsmen but we were just going to treat him as a regular groomsman.

    I actually didn't worry about matching them by appearance. All of his men are tall and two of my girls are short, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

    My sister is my MOH, my cousin is behind her, then my best friend from college, then my best friend I met through said college bestie.

    His are ordered as his brother as BM, two childhood friends, and a friend from college.

    I'm 4'9 and MOH is 5'6. One BM is 6'2 and another is 5'3.....I'm lining them up tall-short-tall. All of the GM are about the same height so it doesn't matter who 6'2 stands next to lol.

    I knew that my bridesmaids and the groomsmen would be sitting so I wasn't worried about how everyone would look standing at the alter. The party wasn't evenly matched (I had 7 bridesmaids to DH's 4 groomsmen). I had 3 BMs walking alone (I had them wear silver and they carried blue and white bouquets) and the 4 BMs with GMs wore blue (with white flowers and silver mini ornaments). The BM/GM combos were set based on personalities more than anything. As far as the order, I had specific people I wanted certain places (my friend that introduced us was the first BM/GM combo) with my daughter (alone next). I filled in the rest with the bridesmaid who was the flower girl's mother as the last BM/GM to walk down the aisle (just in case the FG got nervous). Honestly, thinking about it I think I worried more about it than needed.

    We're sending the entire WP down single file (hopefully).

    MOH, best man, BM1 (FH's sis), GM, BM2 (best mate)

    Followed by the Groom and the registrar

    Then dad and I

    (Normally in the UK, the BMs follow the bride in - dunno what GMs do - but it didn't fit us)

    The numbers just worked out that way and FH didn't want to be stood in front of everyone too long.

    We're doing it by couple. There's two couples in my party and thought it would be sweet to let them walk together. The other two is MOH/BM and then my best friend with my little brother

    We're doing it by age and it will work out just fine. BM & MOH, are respective friends, and they are older. the GM & BM's are our children, and we'll pair them in age order.

    I have two couples in my WP too but one person out of each is the MOH and the other is the Best Man lol I know some brides don't care and maybe I am making it a bigger deal, but I just like things even but again he is only 10 and not as tall as the others and I don;t know how the FH will feel if he is last in line. Looks like I will have to discuss it with the FH (not like he gives much input for this wedding stuff) lol

    We are doing the best men and mohs then for the girls I am doing my FSIL and then my friends from shortest to tallest. I am letting my FH do whatever he feels like. But I am guessing my brother would probably be last (tallest and least close with my FH)
