Uneven bridal party?

  I have an uneven bridal party and so did my one older sister.  My older sister also opted to have a sweetheart table to that she wouldn't have a lopsided head table. It was just my other older sister and me anyway.  And her DH side liked that too.  We all had family tables and it worked out great.
  If you have WP members that are married or will have a lot of family around they get to enjoy that, and if there are a lot of singles, they can sit together mixed in with other singles- I've been to a wedding where they did that and the WP had a really good time being spread out amongst the guests.
  The members of the WP are there to support you and help you and your groom on your wedding day with your guests needs and yours- they definitely don't have to be even on both sides.  Hope whatever you do works out well for you.

  We are planning on having two on each side, but my side will be my MOH & my brother... his side will be two of his guy friends.  So our wedding party will have 3 guys & one girl.

  It doesn't matter, it looks better uneven

  but what if he wants zero, i want at least one, and he isn't comfortable with that? i have tried everything to convince him it doesn't matter but he is convinced it will look funny. is it rude to accept help from the girls without designating any of them as attendants? I don't think i can do this alone but i don't want my honey to be uncomfortable.  maybe they'll be relieved they don't have to buy dresses, etc. ??

  I have an unevening wedding party, too.  It's no biggie.  For the processional at the ceremony, I definitely wouldn't worry.  Or just have his Best Man stand at the front already, with him, and the two girls walk down the aisle.  On the way out, they could walk as a group, or individually, or just as you said.  If they're being announced into the reception, I would just have the BM walk in with a girl on each arm, if he's comfortable - it's cute to do group 'announcements.'
  
  As far as a groom wanting zero and being uncomfortable with you having even one bridesmaid, he needs to get over that.  You will need help - specifically with your train and your bouquet, even if you don't need help in the wedding planning.  Tell him it's no big deal.  One of my best friends got married last year and she had one bridesmaid with her, and her groom didn't have anyone standing up.  It looked completely fine!  Lovely and intimate.
