What the ratio between your side and FH's side in your bridal party.

Our total number of people in our bridal party is 14 (incl. 1 RB, 1 FG, 1 Jr. BM and 1 Jr. GM) now for the ratio 5:9

FH's friends in BP = 2
My friends in BP = 2
FH's family in BP = 3
My family in BP = 7

I kind of feel bad that I have a lot more of my family in it than his but he said he doesn't care at all because he's having who he wants. But I just don't want anyone from his side to think that I'm being overbearing but in reality that's not the case? Can anyone make me feel a little better and just list your ratio like I did. TIA

FH's friends- 3
FH's family- 3
My Friends- 3
My family- 3

It worked out that it was all equal. I never noticed. Well then the RB is his family and the FG if mine.

yeah don't feel bad, FH has alot more family and just inviting alot more people in general...In our bp AS OF NOW, i have 9 girls and he has 11 guys, and one girl on my side is his cousin,no family of mine or anything on his side.

As long as we have those we do care about and want by our side that is all that matters to us

I have a lot more family in it then he does too.. FH doesnt have any females on his side of the family.. so i have all the women and I have a brother so he's one of the groomsmen as well.

Re: What the ratio between your side and FH's side in your bridal party.

I have 1 MOH, 9 BM's and 1 FG, FH has 1BM and 9GM's

Well there's 5 of my family: my sis is my MOH, my cousin is a BM, my cousin is my FG, my brother is a GM and my cousin is a GM

And 3 of his family: His brother is his BM and his 2 sisters are my BM's... he's not as close to his cousins as I am

And then I'm having 6 of my close friends: my best friend from high school, my roomie from college, and 4 of my sorority sisters

And he's having 7 of his close friends: 4 of his close friends from high school and 3 of his fraternity brothers

Re: What the ratio between your side and FH's side in your bridal party.

hmmm...good question. this will actually be the first time I sit and think about it....

Groomsmen/Best Man= FH's 2 brothers, 2 Friends and my little cousin.

Bridesmaids/Maid of Honor= 2 of my sisters, 3 friends.

RB= 1 from FH's family, 1 from my family.

FG= the daughter of a Family friend

I think that's it....so the tally is:

FH Family: 3
MY Family: 4
Friends: 5
Other: 1

Pretty even....mostly friends...I like it!!

Re: What the ratio between your side and FH's side in your bridal party.

Our total number is 14 (5 bridemaids, 5 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, 1 BM, 1 MOH)

FH's friends = 0
FH's family = 5
My family = 4
My friends= 5

His family is all boys, so they are all his groomsmen + 1 of our ring bearers

Since both of our families are all boys, with the excpetion mf my sister, my bridesmaids will be my closest friends.
