Wedding Party- #of bridesmaid and groomsmen

View Quoted Comment That’s cool. I didn’t think about doing it like that

Uneven numbers are nothing to stress about! It's totally fine

I wouldn’t worry about it. Some people are really bothered by having uneven numbers, but if you don’t care, have as few or as many as you want. It’s your wedding and you should not feel obligated to do anything. If you’re not comfortable having people you don’t feel close to as bridesmaids just to even up numbers, don’t.

Absolutely not. I had ten brides people on my side and he had 7 groomsmen.


On my side, I had 1 matron of honor, 8 bridesmaids and 1 bridesman. My sister was matron, 2 female cousins and my sister in law were bridesmaids. The rest were all my closest friends.On his side, he had 1 best man and 6 groomsmen. His brother was best man, my 2 brothers and and my brother in law were groomsmen and the rest were his closest friends.
We made it work.
In the lineup, the best man and matron of honor each walked alone. Each bridesmaid and groomsman were paired up except for three: two of my girls were escorted down the aisle by my bridesman.
It worked out perfectly and yours will too.

I think it is very elegant on doubling up! Man in middle and two bridesmaids on sides. Just my thought!

I’m OCD so for my wedding I want the same number but we have been to weddings with uneven numbers and it turned out fine!

Have the number and the people you want. It is your day!

View Quoted Comment I've got OCD too, but it looked good the way we handled it. See my previous comment.

It does not have to be even by any means! The photographer will know how to work out the photo's so it doesn't look off balanced and will probably help you pair people up for recessional.

Having an uneven number is totally fine and actually pretty common! Don't feel pressured to ask people just to make it even. Like others have said, just have the groomsmen already standing up there and have your bridesmaids walk down alone.

It is fine to have uneven parties. I personally have 5 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen.

I would rather have uneven numbers (which I can tell you honestly I don't care about since I'm not having even numbers) than fill out the numbers with people you don't want in the wedding party to begin with. Being part of a bridal party should be an honor, not a way to fill numbers.
