OK, so to preface, I'm sure this is a silly question haha.
How did y'all line up your maids? I have three bridesmaids (not choosing a MOH) and I was just wondering how they lined up when you did your ceremony. Was it random, or did you have a certain method?
Re: Bridesmaid line-up
Haha oh gosh, I totally picked a Hunger Games for bridesmaids.
I wanted to do some sort of program or sign, but we're having a small family wedding anyway, and all my family knows my maids. They'll know who is who.
I'll just let my girls figure out where they'd like to stand.
Thank you!
I think the most common order is who ever you are closes to, gets to stand the closest to you. If you like the girls all equally (lol) then ask your fiancé if he has a preference for the men. For example, if his #1 is 6 ft tall then you don't want your shortest girl paired with him. If those two don't work, I would choose out of a hat like previously suggested.

I have heard of this before but I absolutely DO NOT recommend it. Even if you just are closer to some of your BMs, essentially pointing that out by ordering them in that way will hurt their feelings. No one wants to be last in line because she is the "least close" to the Bride. At least going by height (or some other arbitrary organization) is less subjective.
Thank you all for your advice! I really appreciate it
I don't think I could choose who I'm closer to, I'm very close with all of my BMs, and since I didn't pick a MOH that might be awkward.
I'm 5'7", one BM is 5'8", and the other two BMs are both around 5'2". I'll probably sort them according to time that I've known them, which is since middle school, since high school, and since college (which will put it me, 5'2", 5'2" and 5'8"). I don't think height will be an issue with them though, as the shorter girls will most likely will wear heels and I'm wearing flats.
I'm not sure how my FI will line up his GMs, but I'll suggest the time-frame idea to him. He's 5'6" and I think his GMs are all around 6', so there will be interesting height differences across the board lol.
For the purposes of the program, lining up based on time will be easiest, since I don't know exact heights.
