    Have you and your FI fought over your wedding party order?  What order the girls are in and what order the guys are in, and who walks with who.  You want your girls in a certain order, but you also want to pair them up with a good guy.  But then it makes his side not good for him.  Get what I'm saying?  Any advice?

    What about having them walk in independently? I think this can be done if your bridal party isn't huuuuuge.

    @JoJoBananas:  Well they are walking in sep., we have 5 on each side.  but then what about when they walk out....they will walk out together, how they are lined up, and then when they are introduced. Ya know. It's not huge, but still. I am worried about siblings wondering why they were placed behind a friend for example.  They should be before them...etc.

    One of my BMs tried to get us paired up right on the exit, and we still screwed it up. I am 5'9" and got paired up with a guy who was like 5'6". It wasn't a huge deal, but it wasn't what she wanted.

    We're pairing ours up by height and having them enter by height with the exception of the MOH who will be solo and the Best Man who will be up at the altar.

    I think you should avoid any kind of order that ranks the friendship. That is volitle and dangerous and could end up hurting someone's feelings.

    When I'm a bridesmaid I usually volunteer to be last just to help the bride not have to pick a last person.  Heights a good way to do it though, and I wouldn't worry about who they are paired with.  The recessional only lasts a minute.  If they're a good friend they won't care.

    We're putting our maid of honor and best man first and then we're just putting everyone else in a random order and pairing them by height. I made a random list using this criteria and I've had so many complaints from my bms and gms it's so annoying! Seriously, they only have to walk with them for a minute and they will be able to see the friend they'd rather walk with all night long afterwards! Some people are so silly.
