Too many BRIDESMAIDS!?

QTPie1436

Hello,

I need help!  The groom has three in his party, and doesn't have anyone else he can add.  I have my sister, and his twin sisters I want to have, BUT I also have 3-4 dear friends I want to include.  I feel as though if we were uneven by one or two I would not care, but 4!?  Not feeling it, so here is my question:

Is there some sort of role that those close friends can play in the wedding without being bridesmaids?  If I say, "I am only having sisters as my BM's" I feel fine about that, no one will be upset.  But I really do want the others involved.  Is there some sort of "honorary bridesmaid" or something???

Help? Advice??

Thank you!

No, there is no "honorary bridesmaid." Like Retread said, readers or bridesmaids are the only real "roles" for people.

Why don't his sisters go onto his side (if he wants them!) and that would help even the sides out so you can squeeze in your friends?

 

But really -- nobody cares about uneven sides.

Thank you ladies for the advice!

Uneven sides don't matter at all. But if you do want to just have your sisters in the WP, you can still ask your friends to get ready with you during the day. I just had a MOH but my two best friends hung out with me all day as we got ready together. They knew how special they were to me without needing a title, and without needing to purchase a particular dress.

I am having 5 bridesmaids and there will only be 3 groomsmen.

Another vote for putting his twin sisters on his side.  Everyone can walk up the aisle single file, they don't need to be escorted. Problem solved.

People matter more than numbers.  Always.

If he wants to ask his sisters to stand on his side, that's an option, but if he doesn't, it's fine.

Giving your friends a made up title screams "I care more about even sides than about you."  Don't do it.  If you don't ask them, leave them as guests.
