Bridesmaid "Add On"

Hanabana28

My fiance and I are getting married October 1, 2010. I picked out my bridsesmaids instantly. My MOH is my best friend, and then my two sisters are my bridesmaids. Small and simple. So my fiance picked his brother as BM and one friend so far for a groosman. Now he can not decide between two friends and wants me to add a fourth to my bridal party. I want to do this for him, but I feel like anyone I ask will know they are an "add on"Any advice?

Don't add anyone - there's no reason you can't have an uneven bridal party.

The sides don't have to be even.

It's okay to have an uneven bridal party.

You have tons of time.  Wait like 9 months.  Talk about it then.  If you haven't already asked these people, wait until closer to your date to do so.

You don't need a 4th BM. WPs are allowed to be uneven.

You're worrying about your bridal party way too early.  And you can have uneven sides, no big deal.

Don't add someone unless you really want to, but if you want to add someone, I think you can. Tim added one of our friends to his side, a friend who was living about 4 hours away and we weren't sure if it would be too much of a stress, but he ended up asking him, so glad we did.

Lindsay is right though, if you do ask someone they won't feel like an add-on anyway.  Your wedding is still so far away, they will think it's normal I'm sure.  Most people wait about a year out or less before asking their bridal party.

I wish I would have known how 'acceptable' it is to have uneven bridal parties or I would not have added to mine as if they needed to be even.  I also asked a few girls later than others.  I asked when it was appropriate and for some of the girls that was 2 months later.  I would definitely not ask too early, and pick whoever you want!
