How do you feel about uneven number of bridesmaids vs. groomsmen?
FH wants 7 groomsmen, I'll be happy with 5 bridesmaids. I don't care enough to make him cut anyone. Would it be terrible to have an uneven number?
We are getting married in the church, so we'd have to think about how the processions will work. Also, what about when the bridal party is announced into the reception? And when they make the bridge for the bride and groom to run under?

I think we are having an uneven bridal party as well...I don't think it will make a huge difference in the scheme of things....

I think that it really doesn't seem as bad to others as it does to the bride. I was more than ready to roll w/ an uneven amount but we had a last minute drop out on DH's side that evened it out.

We are having an uneven bridal party. We have 7 guys and 6 girls. Just have 2 of your girls walk with 2 guys each.
For the bridge they will just have the girls spread out. It will be fine. You can also have them dance with their significant others as well.

I'm having an uneven bridal party too. So far 10-12 guys and 8 girls. I didn't even think of the dance but that's a good idea about having them dance with spouses. Thanks Cloud Nine!

We have an uneven bridal party. We'll work it out, somehow. We figure that we are asking the people who are important to us and that is all that matters. Actually, he was going to have nine guys and I was going to have eight girls but one of his sisters did not accept my invitation to be a bridesmaid so now I only have seven. Oh, well!

At first I was stressing out about uneven numbers. I spoke to a few friends and they said it wasn't a big deal. I'm probably having 5 girls and FH is having 4 guys...I think it will work out fine.

I had an uneven bridal party....I had 6 bridesmaids and my husband had 7 groomsmen....We just had my brother walk my mom down and then two of the guys walked together behind one of the girls...It worked out just fine. Dont even worry about it!

ours are uneven. There are 6 gm and 7 bm so we're having one of the guys walk down with 2 girls. It's not a big deal.

I think uneven bridal parties are fine. Some girls will just get 2 guys. My party is all uneven. There's one more guy than girl, but I have a matron and maid of honor, and he only has one best man. There will be lots of triangle formations going on. It's fine, it can even be fun for some of the groups!

Re: Uneven bridal parties...
mine will be uneven too. i actually posted about this a few weeks ago and got some great ideas. I have 6 BM and he has 4GM the GM will stand at the alter with him after walking imp poeple such as grandparents down the isle. BM will walk one at a time. On the way back it will be 2girls to 1guy and into the reception they will come in 1 at a time. we arent doing the bridal party dance. Never liked that

Re: Uneven bridal parties...
it doesn't matter, everything is workable. also, even if it did matter, personally i think its not fixable. how can you say to your closet cousin, closest sibling or closest friend, 'sorry we have too many people already, even though your such as important to be in the bridal party as everyone else we have, i have no one of the opposite sex for you to walk down the aisle or be introduced with.' and its not fair to ask more people that you generally wouldn't ask just so your numbers are even. as long as the bridal party consist of your closest family and friends that you could not imagine there, then it just has to work!

Re: Uneven bridal parties...
My BP was uneven, I only had 4 girls total and DH had 5 guys...I just could not think of adding anyone to my side that wouldnt make me want to choke them, so I kept it uneven and doubled up one of the girls.
