Uneven Bridal party?

elhal

Hey anyone have more bridemaids than groomsmen... looks like I might have 5 bridesmaids to 4 groomsmen. Not sure will it look weird in photos, or for dancing or stuff like that. Not really a big deal just wondering your thoughts?!:)

While I don't see anything "wrong" with doing it, I have to admit I added an extra groomsman to our bridal party when we found ourselves in this situation for exactly the reasons you outlined.

I have 4 bridesmaids and 3grooms men but one of my Bridesmaids will only be 16 so i figure she will be ok on her own,

I don't see a problem with it. I wouldn't even notice if there was uneven numbers tbh. It's better to just choose who you want to choose.

This whole matching up thing really annoys me. You should only have who you want to have up there with you, it's a pretty big event in your life and you shouldn't be asking people to stand up there with you just so that they'll even out the numbers.

At the end of the day, the photos of the the bride, groom, bridesmaids, best men, etc. will only be in the album, you're not going to have those photos up on your wall really. You might have one, but that's it and most likely it'd be one of the bigger family photos. The only photos you'll have displayed will be of the bride and groom in which case bridesmaids matching groomsmen won't even come into it.

A friend of mine has been to weddings with even and uneven numbers - and she said that nobody at the wedding noticed that there was uneven numbers until the bride actually pointed it out.

Absolutely.

We had three bridesmaids and two groomsmen. I cannot overstate how little this mattered in any way whatsoever to anyone.

Much more important to have who you want up there, and only who you want.

Eh???? Does it REALLY matter?????

Look - I too had 'uneven' numbers. I had 5 BM's a groomsman and a Best Man.

And guess what? They all trooped out after myself and my husband. Nobody took a blind bit of notice...

Everybody was too busy commenting on how pretty the girls looked and how smart & handsome the guys were. I think your guests will be the same!

Thanks for the replies!! Felt the same myself... dont want an extra groomsman just for the sake of it!!

Wanted to see if that was the general consesus!

We have five groomsmen and three bridesmaid, couldn't give a crap about mixing and matching. We just chose the people we most wanted to be part of our wedding day.

Im having 1 bridesmaid and hes having 3 groomsmen, he has 3 best friends, I have one and then about 5 more friends who Id be equally close to so it was a choice of 1 BM or 6 so went with one! will have the bridesmaid and best man in pics, and then a few to add the other 2 lads in
