So Many Bridesmaids

in Wedding Party
I happen to have 3 sisters, a cousin, and 8 other girls who I consider all to be my best friends. I couldn't imagine my wedding without all of them as bridesmaids, so this makes my side of the wedding party twice as much as the groomsmen. I was just thinking about what I can do to make this not seem so unsymmetrical (I'm a little OCD about this).

Also my church isn't that big and won't fit 12 girls in the front. Any ideas of how to make this work for me or cute things to do with such a large wedding party? (like not being able to fit everyone in one limo)
Thanks :)

    Can they sit in the front row of pews?

    Can you double them up?  Have two girls on each step/next to each other.  That way you would be able to fit everyone up front.

    Also, just don't worry about things being even. You said it yourself, you can't imagine your day without them and when you look back at photos, you will remember how special it was to have them all there rather than worry about numbers.

    I think you are going to have to give up on either the symmetry thing or having all 12 as BM. Being a guest is an honor too, so maybe you would want to limit the BP to family, and then just have your friends as guests. The family line is an easy one to draw that most people understand. This doesnt preclude your friends from participating in all the pre-wedding party planning or activiites.
    If you want them all to be BM, you may need to rows of them in the front of the church, or only have your MOHs standing next to you and the rest sitting in the front row.

    I second the doubling up. I sure the guys would LOVE to have 2 girls each :) and when they stand, stagger them and have them one in front of the other

    Whatever you decide to do, that is a LOT of bridesmaids.

    I don't know how you feel about this, but I've always felt that the less number of people there are as bridesmaids, the more honorary the position is. But, you love all these people. Ditto pp on being a guest as an honor.
