    I previously posted regarding choosing my bridesmaids/MOH and I think that I have it narrowed down, but herein lies another issue. Which do you think is better - asking a friend I don't see very often (but who is the girlfriend of one of the groomsmen) to be a bridesmaid, or having an uneven bridal party? Also, do you think it looks 'sparse' to have only 2 groomsmen and a Best Man and 2 bridesmaids and a MOH? This is what it would be if I didn't invite that friend to be a bm. Just curious.

     

    Thanks!

    1) Uneven party all the way.  Being in someone's wedding who you aren't that close to (especially when it is a small wedding party) is extremely awkward.

    2) We are having a six person wedding party.  Three on each side.  Not sparse at all.  Intimate.

    I think it would be fine with what you have.  I only have a MOH and my FH only has a BM.  It is totally up to you and what you want.  Don't ask someone just for the numbers.

    Ah, ok good thoughts. My friend's wedding I was in recently had... 5 or 6 bridesmaids and a MOH (which in my opinion was too many but to each her own). I just didn't want it to be on the other end of that spectrum and be too few (plus, I mean she is my friend and a groomsman's gf).

    Thanks!!

    Definitely stick with what you have - you want the girls standing up there with you to be the people you're closest to! We are going to have an uneven bridal party AND a tiny bridal party, haha! FI is having 2 groomsmen and a best man, and I will have 1 MOH and 1 bridesmaid (plus a jr. bridesmaid)
