@Martinez2011: The number of bridesmaids and groomsmen do not have to match.
The last wedding I went to, each groomsman had 2 bridesmaids. There was nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think most of the guys liked the fact that they had a girl on each arm!

You don’t have to have balanced sides. It’s no big deal.

You bridal party doesn’t have to be perfectly matched. I had 3 on my side and he had 4 on his and it doesn’t look weird in pics at all!

We’re having an uneven bridal party. There will be three on my side, six on his. We could conceivably move a few of my folks over to his side, but for what? I recommend just leaving it as it is and remember that the ceremony is the most important part, but no one is going to be looking at your bridal party and thinking “yeesh. So uneven”.

Each groomsmen can walk 2 BM’s down the aisle. They definitely don’t have to be even.

It’s okay to have BMs walking without GMs. My friend had 3 BMs walk with groomsmen and then her Maid/Matron of Honor walk alone.
You can have two BMs walk together if you want.

No worries — you don’t need an even wedding party. We have 6 girls and 3 guys. 2 girls will walk out with every guy. You can work it out!!
