So we are definitely having 1 MOH & 1 BM, 1 Best man & 1 GM (they are all friends of ours). The issue is we each have 2 brothers who we obviously thought we be groomsmen but that would mean 4 additional GM then BM, So FH was thinking maybe we shouldn't have them in our bridal party and have them be involved in another way. Maybe at the ceremony (readers, presenting gifts, etc...) It sounds like a great idea but I'm not convinced about not having our brothers in the wedding party.... We are going to talk to our parents about what they think but I wanted a little feedback from you girls. What do you think? TIA!

Re: Bridal Party
Hi there! My aunt is a singer at weddings and she recently just told me that she was at a wedding where there were 5 GMs and only 1 MOH and 1 BM and then 3 flower girls. We both had always thought there had to be an even amount of BMs and GMs but I think it really is up to you. You could definitely have more GMs than bridesmaids if you didnt want to ask 4 additional girls. Are all the brothers married? I ask b/c I think it's definitely nice to include the brothers if they are single. FH has 3 brothers and only 1 of them will be in the wedding since the other two are married and have kids already. I have also 3 brothers all single...i may include them as well and just have more GMs than BMs. It gets very big and expensive fast :)
sorry for the long response and good luck!

Re: Bridal Party
Hey girl! The most important thing to remember is that your bridal party should be the ppl closest to you and your FH, those ppl you want to stand out and feel like an honored guest at your wedding. You shouldnt feel as though if the sides are uneven you need to pick more girls, bc this defeats the purpose since if these extra girls were really that important to you, then they would be in the party to start with! These days anything goes! I have 6 children in mine! Our party is going to be about 22 people, VERY expensive but yet all ppl were always in the picture and we werent willing to downsizee.. just do what make you happy!!! You can always have 2 guys walk down with one girl to even it outtttt... or even have the guys at the altar to start and just the girls walk in... you can do anything as long as you are happy with it!

Re: Bridal Party
I think uneven is fine. Do whatever feels right to you.
