I am from out of state, so I have very few girlfriends to ask to be in my wedding party. So far I have my FI's sister as a MOH, his cousin, and a friend of ours, who's FI will be his Groomsman. So that's three. I love them all to death, and am very happy to have them in my wedding party. We're going to be in our friends WP as well.
I was going to ask my brother's girlfriend, but they have broken up. My FI is asking my brother as well.
I was also going to ask my friend from my first job here, but she is now currently dating my FI cousin, Who he is asking as well. She is a nice girl, I feel like if I don't ask her she'll be offended, but honestly she hasn't talked to me unless it involved her boyfriends breaking up with her. We're in that awkward friends stage, because we know so many of the same people now.
So, these being my only considered options, I will only have 3-4 bridesmaids, but I don't want to ask my FI to keep some of his friends and family from standing up with him because I don't have a ton of girlfriends. He was planning on 5. So I have no idea what to do, and if having mismatched parties will be really absurd. I don't mind at all, because they won't really be paired up much, but my mother made a bit of a fuss over it, so I'm asking what others think.
