Bm gm

Do you have to have the same number of each? My fianc seems to think so and thinks it will be dumb if they don't match up. So far he has 5 and I have 4.. There's no one else I. Really want! Any suggestions how to make things look ok or flow this way?

  • Uneven sides are fine.  Your FI is thinking old school here.
  • It is perfectly acceptable to have uneven sides!  Depending on how you choose to do your processional, the easiest way will likely be to have two GM escort one BM (I'd have it either be the MOH, or the 4th BM, not someone in the middle).

  • That's fine. We had even numbers on each side, but uneven genders - I had 2 girls and a guy on my side, my husband had 3 guys. Everyone just walked in and out separately.

  • I was in a wedding as MOH and there were two maids to each groomsman... trust me... the guys loved having a woman on each arm.

  • thank you! that's what i'm saying but he doesn't get that :) 
  • A good wedding photographer will set your pictures up so you won't even notice the party is uneven.  One of the albums our photog showed us as a sample had a bridal party with like 6 bridesmaids and only two groomsmen, and I didn't even notice the sides in the photos were uneven until the photog pointed it out.  It's completely fine to have uneven sides.

  • We had five bridesmaids and four groomsmen- I had a maid of honor and a matron of honor and they walked in together while everyone else was paired up. When we exited, they walked out with the best man in between. No big deal :)

    Ok, so the consensus is ok that it is uneven.

    My bridal party is 8 groomsmen, 7 bridesmaids, moh, best man. Anyone have advice on how to pair them up for walking?

    I know my MOH will walk up 1/2 way alone and meet the best man or something.

    But I'm not sure what to do about the 8/7 split....
