Picking bridal party question

I'm having trouble picking my bridal party.

It was going to be just siblings, 2 girls & 3 boys, but my fiances sister just called me back and said she just cant do it for many reasons, which I understand, but now I have 1 girl and 3 boys. I dont want to ask anyone to just even numbers up or anything, but I think 3 & 1 is odd, especially it being all siblings minus one who will be attending. I have a great cousin who told me she would LOVE to be in it (I was in hers) so its 3 and 2, but I just dont know where to go from here.

Should I just leave it as siblings? 3 & 1
Leave it where its at 3 & 2 with my cousin
Ask another cousin whos pretty close to me to make it 3 & 3.

I have a very good friend who I would love to be in it, but shes due a few days before my wedding LOL I know she couldnt do it.

I know I am the one who knows them best and in the end I have to decide, but a little advice would be great. I need to decide asap b/c of dresses. TIA

Re: Picking bridal party question

i would pick the people that you're really close with

Re: Picking bridal party question

I would include the cousin who really wants to be in it and make it 2:3, or include both cousins and make it 3:3.

If you make it 2:3, you can have one girl walk with 2 guys if you're worried about it looking uneven.

Re: Picking bridal party question

it sounds like you are really close to your cousin, so I would pick her. 3 & 2 sounds good,and since you are close, it'll be an honor..

Re: Picking bridal party question

I would add your cousin. Hmmmm... I think I would probably add both cousins. That makes it still all family.

Re: Picking bridal party question

I dont think you should add people just for the sake of having "even" numbers. My BP is uneven and Im quite cdontect because each individual is special to me and it means the world they are a part of it.

If you'd loike to add your cousin, go for it. If you want to add both, go for it. Its your day so please yourself!!

Thanks girls.

Re: Picking bridal party question

I thik you should add your cousin if you want to, but not to make things even. My bridal party is not even, and it's all kids! (I have 8 neices and nephews!) my two best friends are in it (bridesmaids) and they don't have partners....just have whomever you love the most.

Re: Picking bridal party question

Thanks! I am very close to both cousins. Im paying for my cousin in FL because shes coming so far. My other cousin will not be able to pay for the dress and I dont think I can help either. It's $200. So I'm still thinking about it. Thanks for the help :)
