Uneven Bridal Party

[Deleted User][Deleted User] member
Sixth Anniversary 10 Comments
in New York-Long Island
I have 5 bridesmaids and my fiance has 3 groomsmen right now. If he doesnt get two other guys the bridal party will be uneven. I dont really mind it being uneven, but what should I have them do when it comes to the bridal party dancing with each other at the beginning of the reception? Should I have two of the girls dance with their significant other?

    Please don't make your bridal party dance with each other. I know that I'd feel uncomfortable dancing with anyone other than my fiance. Please don't take this the wrong way, but no one will really care about the BP dance - there are three dances most people want to see - the bride and groom, the bride and her dad, and the groom and his mom. Also, your wedding is more than a year and a half away - wait until the year mark to pick your bridesmaids - a LOT can happen in two years and it's virtually impossible to kick out a bridesmaid and a) not be called a bridezilla and b) not end the friendship.

    I have 10 Bridesmaids and only 6 groomsmen.  We are just going to open up the floor to anyone who wants to dance with us, and not have it be just the bridal party

    Even bridal party or not, I'd let them dance with their SOs. I've been a BM and I can tell you I really didn't want to dance with my cousin's weird friend. LOL! And I'm sure he didn't want to dance with me!

    sorry if this sounds harsh but: wedding party dances are stupid for a few readsons: 1) people at your wedding want to see you dancing, not your friends 2) it's uncomfortable for the wedding party 3) it takes up time for something that no one really likes-use that time to dance with your guests instead.in other words-skip it

    also you have almost 2 years. you don't have to be planning things like this until 2 months before. things happen-BMs and GM move, have something else come up unexpectedly etc.....

    I agree with some of the other girls.  You don't have the BP dance with each other.  You can just open up the dance floor.  I personally like that better, I hate slow dancing with people I don't really know.

    Phew...thats good to know. I thought that the bridal party had to dance with each other. My sister did it at her wedding. I also think it would be weird and awkward. I also think that my girls probably wouldnt be comfortable dancing with some of the groomsmen. Thank you ladies! :)

    skipping the bridal party dance is a great idea!  I never even thought about it, and i should have because i've been in that awkward situation at least 3 of the 6 times i've been a bridesmaid! (and when my fiance was in a BP, it was awkward when i couldn't join him on the dance floor).

    i vote for skipping!
