8 GM and 4 BM's?

Ok I am having 4 BM and my FI insists on having 8 Guys..is it stupid to have 2 guys to a girl? Als how shou we do it so the maid of honor walks down alone, i was thinking of having 2 men wait at the alter and maybe she can walk back with two men as well. The other problem will be announcing into the reception so MOH and BM are introduced seperate. Would it be ok to have the extra guy escorteded into the reception by his wife?..thanks.

Your ideas sound fine to me!

If it's uneven, it's uneven. I kinda like the idea of having two guys to one girl!

As for the ceremony, you could have everyone walk in on their own and then 2 guys to 1 girl on the way out. For the reception you can mix and match the couples, but I'm not sure about having someone not in the BP be an escort. You can do 2 guys, 1 girl, 2 girls, on guy, whatever you want!

Ok the other thought i had was having one of the GM (he is single and 19 yrs old) escort his grandmother into the reception and that would elimanate the extra guy, but i do not want him to feel left out that he is walking into the reception with his grandmother, but i think this would just work out better.

I have the opposite problem and I'm having 2 women to one guy...he's ok with it!!!

I really don't think it's a big deal at all. I'm not going to ask more guys that I really didn't want just so we can be EVEN.

I think you should have the guys already waiting up front...
and no, I think it would look quite nice with 2 guys for every BM....

This is like the least important thing, but the thing I am stressing most about. I guess I could have all the men waiting up front, but then all the girls walk down alone..would that make my maid of honor feel less special? sorry so many questions..thanks for all your help.

I went to a wedding where this was exactly what they had. It was double the amount of groomsmen. It worked out nicely. What they did though was have all the gentlemen at the alter and all the girls walk down individually. Afte the ceremony, each gal was escorted by two men....it was nice. Go for it.

When I was a BM in a wedding all the girls walked down alone. the MOH went last right before the bride (there was no FG) and I don't think she felt any less special!!!!!

I have the same problem. I have 7 guys and 4 girls. We're having 2 guys to each girl. The BM will be at the altar with my FH and the MOH will be walking down the aisle alone. It'll be fine. It's more important to have the people who are special to you in the wedding party rather than worrying about whether or not it's even.
