4 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen HELP!!

mswindell2012

So i originally had an even bridal party but unfortunately one of the groomsmen has refused to get his tux measurements done so he is no longer being including leaving only 3 groomsmen and 4 bridesmaids....would it be okay to have my sister who is my MOH walk out with my 2 ring bearers? Or would that be weird??

She can walk out by herself.  One groomsman can escort two of the bridesmaids.  They can all walk alone.  They can conga line out there.  It truly doesn't matter.  No one is going to remember who walked with whom and in what order.  And if they do remember it, you've got the most boring wedding in the history of weddings.  Pick whatever way you like.

Nobody will really be looking at them. She can go by herself, with the ring bearers, or she can walk out on her hands with her dress around her head.  Seriously -- nobody will be watching them. They'll be watching you two or gathering their belongings from the chair.

This is a non-issue.  Sides do not have to be even.  No one will even notice, or care.

There are several ways you can have your attendants walk in.  This is a non-issue.

There is absolutely NO rule that says sides should be even!

When my oldest sister got married they had one more bridesmaid then groomsman.

She had my dad walk the first BM down the aisle and when he got to the front of the church he just simply walked down the side aisle to the back of the church and walked my sister down the aisle. 

After the ceremony he walked the BM out.

As PPs have covered, this is a non issue. Your sides don't need to be even and she can walk alone.

When I was MOH in an uneven WP, I walked in alone and walked out with BM, odd GM walked MOB in and out. At the reception when we were announced, I walked in with a GM on each arm. I'm a baller like that

You can have them walk in and out however you like. Sort of it being a piggy back, no one will find it weird.

GL!

It's fine to have to not have even sides, and it really doesn't matter how the MOH walks in. By herself, with the ring bearers, whatever - no one will be paying that much attention.

Just curious though...when you say the GM is "no longer being included" does that mean you kicked him out of the WP?

Yes, my FI made the decision to kick him out of the wedding party...it is actually his half brother. We have been trying for 2 months to get him to get his tux measurements done, they must be done by feb.17, we have tried everything. I went to pick him up and take him because he didnt have a way to get there, turned out he decided to not be home that day, he said he didnt have the money the next time i went to take him-we told him we would pay for the tux-still wouldnt go. 2 whole months of running around trying to do this and he blows us off everytime, you cant trust him to just give him the money for the tux and gas money to go get it done, FI finally got fed up with it and told him to forget it....seems to me his brother didnt carr much bc he sure didnt put up a fight with FI.

How far away does he live from the tux shop?

So he still has 2 weeks to get his measurements done? The decision to kick him out was a bit premature if he still technically has time to get it done. Hopefully this doesn't do too much damage to your FI's relationship with his brother.

Eh, your FI is on thin ice here. If the deadline came and went and his brother (BROTHER!) didn't get his measurements done (though are those completely necessary??) then he has removed himself from the wedding. No need to kick anyone out. Especially family.

As far as sides, they don't need to be even. Please don't kick someone else out or have a stand in to even out sides. Your wedding will be beautiful.

20 minutes.

Its his half brother and they are not exactly close. It was already causing a problem with him being in the wedding seeing as their father is not in their life and my FI's mom is remarried. I dont see the big deal with it considering that and the fact that his brother didnt want to be in the wedding to begin with.

Not weird at all.  Do it however you want.  I had 2 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids.  We decided to have the men already at the front and just the girls walked in, each by themselves.  Then after the ceremony, the best man escorted my two MOH's out, one of each arm (great photo of him looking like a stud with a huge grin), and the other groomsman escorted out the 3rd bridesmaid. Nothing says that both sides need to be even.  And nobody will really notice or care how people walk in and out of the ceremony.

Sounds like your FI didn't want him in the wedding either. Why did he even ask then?

I had the issue where my cousin dropped out of my BP due to financial and time constraints.  We are having the wedding party walk one after the other instead of side by side.  It's a lot easier than putting together couples.

We are having 6 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. If we decide to do couples walking down the aisle, we'll let the maid of honor (my sister) walk by herself and enjoy the spotlight.

I was worrying about how this would look, etc., and I googled a bunch and found that plenty of people are not matchy-matchy, and it looks fine! A lot of wedding photographers have the bridal party standing in interesting arrangements rather than lined up side by side so you it won't look as unmatched. 

Also, if it makes you feel any better, I had a classmate who had TWELVE groomsmen and about half the number of bridesmaids. Still looked like an awesome wedding
