Uneven wedding parties?

How common is this?

Maids of Honor (not "Maid of Honors") and Best Men are fine.

Wait a few more months to ask anyone to do anything, though.

It looks like you changed your post. But to answer your new question, uneven wedding parties are extremely common. I think if you start looking at bios, you will find a lot of uneven parties and they all look great!

They are extremely common, at least in my experience. It is very rare for a bride and groom to have the same number of very close friends.

I had 7 BMs, and DH had 5 GMs. Totally cool.

We had an uneven WP. To the best of my knowledge no one walked out in disgust

In fact most people didn't even realize it was uneven, and in our photos you can barely tell.

I'm having an uneven party, 3 BMs and 4 GM. I'm having the GM that is the father of the flowergirl walk down the aisle with her.

Uneven parties literally happen everyday.

I had even sides ... but we had a few moments where we didn't know if somebody would be able to make it or not ... I would have been upset about them missing, but not about my sides being "off".

It's becoming more and more common as brides and grooms realize that people are more important than numbers.

Ours has a good chance of being uneven. We currently have 7 each, but two of his GM are in the military. We have no way of knowing if they will be deployed or not. If we find out they will be, and still haven't printed to program, we are going to make a note that they could not be with us because they are serving the country and we'll thank them for their service.

I'm totally uneven - I have 8 BM and 5, maybe 6 GM, 2 Jr BMs, and 1 Jr GM... I'm a little worried about the photos looking uneven but my photographer says not to worry its her job to make it look good I'm also not doing a wedding party dance so that wont be awkward, and I'll probably have the GM in the front and the BM walk down by themselves. On the way out I'll probably have some of the guys walk out 2 girls. I'm still stressing it a little, but I'll just hope it all works out!

I'm uneven. Five on my side, and three on his. I'll just have the Best Woman and Best Man walk together and then the two groomsman will escort two brideswomen each.

We did have uneven sides up until a few months ago. I wasn't concerned with the numbers at all. We just chose our favorite people and he happened to have more than I did.

My sister and I had a falling out a few years ago and have recently been working on mending our relationship. Since we've gotten so much closer and things are going so well, I told her I'd love to have her as a BM and she was really excited. It's been nice to have my sister around again. So now we actually do have even numbers, but it wasn't planned that way just for the sake of being even. That's just how it worked out.

I think the last few weddings that I've gone to have had uneven sides. I only noticed because I'm planning my own wedding right now and I pay attention to the details. Everything still looked great!

wow, thanks ladies. I wasnt sure what to do with my uneven party. i didnt want to add more girls who werent as close to me as my current girls just to make it even. i love the idea of two boys and a girl. that will work out great for my siblings who almost werent gunna walk cuz i didnt have enough people...
