And then there were three... (BMs that is)

Sooooo, I started out with three BMs, FI wanted six guys to be GMs. He called them all and asked them before we could finish the conversation (yes, seriously we were in the car talking and he picked up the phone and started making calls! HA. Any other time, he'd take 10 years to get something for the wedding done. Hehe).So, I added two more girls to the BM roster. Now that the deadline is approaching for dresses to be ordered, two of my BMs have had to drop out because of school. I'm completely fine with that... not upset at all--One is in medical school and the other a freshman at Harvard, MORE POWER TO 'EM! But I am wondering how off the ceremony is going to look with my 3 girls and his 6 guys...WDYT?

    There is nothing wrong with that at all. We were very one sided as well. I had my MOH, 4 BM's, 3 jr BM's & 2 flower girls. DH had his best man & 2 GM. What we did is have all the men waiting for us at the end of the aisle and leaving the Jr BM's & FG's walked the recessional alone and the BM doubled up with the GM, and the Best Man walked down with the MOH. It will be fine!

    You can have the girls walk in alone for the precessional and have 2 guys and 1 girl walk back for the recessional.  Just an idea!

    PinkPanther that is my situation, fi has 6gm and I have 3bm. I never wanted a big wedding party, too expensive and headaches. I think it will be perfectly fine. If fi does not make one his gm do double duty as an usher, then I will cut my bm down to 2.

    There is nothing wrong with that.  In fact it's the latest trend.  It's all about breaking "the rules"

    I think Juline was dead on with the BM walking with 2 guys. That won't look crazy. That is actually pretty cool. It will be fine. Don't stress about that. There is always a way around everything.

      I agree it's nothing wrong with it. In fact I am hearing more and more about lopsided wedding parties lately. We are having 1 maid of honor, 1 best man, 2 groomsmen, 3 junior bridesmaids (We wanted to include our pre-teen/teen girls some kind of way), and 2 flower girls. So, we don't have any adult bridesmaids (My 1 that I had back out on me just LAST week just two weeks before the wedding), no junior groomsmen, and no ring bearer.My maid of honor haven't really been there for me. Your 3 girls versus his 6 guys will be fine.

    I'm on board with Juline as well. I had 4 BM and 3 GM. One of the GM had 2 BM. He wad 'daddy mac' all night. you have the perfect amount in your BP if you wanna do it that way. Each girl will have 2 guys. Nothing wrong with that!

    It won't be off. Have the men at the alter already, let the ladies come down the aisle alone. After the ceremony, 2 men can escort one lady. I've seen it that way, it was nice.Don't worry.
