Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Question
Is it ok to have an uneven amount of BM's and GM's? I am asking for both myself and my cousin's fiance. She only has one MOH (me) and another BM (her FSiL). My cousin is having 3 GM's. I have 3.5 girls while my hubby can only think of 2 GM's that he would like to be a part of the event. Is it ok though to have an uneven amount? Will that look silly? Just wondering if it is something common out there or not.
Thanks ladies!

Lol the .5 is my sister, Angelina, who is 11. She will be my junior bridesmaid. She is so funny because she wants the dresses to be blue or purple because apparently those are the colors that compliment her haha. They grow up so fast! Here I am looking at gold and sage colored dresses haha!
Sok, too cute about your little sister. I think it is totally okay to have uneven numbers. Mine are only even because my finace has unlimited number of guy friends. It was harder for me to choose my girls, and am still waiting for a response from two of them. (I have 4 total). If they say no, I'm still letting my fiance have his 4, and we'd be "uneven". I really don't think it matters at all.
Sok,
Don't worry about having an uneven number of attendants on both sides. I think it's pretty common these days. I found this question on the Knot.

It is perfectly normal and acceptable to have an uneven. We are even only because it worked out that way. Troy had his guys picked out, but when one of is VERY antisocial friends decided it wasn't his thing to be in a wedding we asked my very best guy friend. There were bunches of people on both sides that we are very close with, I have my 3 best friends in the whole world, then my FSIL, and my cousin who I am extremely close with. Troy has 2 of his best friends, my 2 brothers, and my best guy friend. We also have 1 jr. bm and 1 jr. gm, Troy's niece and nephew, just kind of worked out that way. But do not ask anyone just to keep it even, it will work out just fine.
Raising hand! We have an uneven number. It doesn't matter :) Better to have only the most special people standing with you then to ask some others only to make it even. No one will care, I promise! We'll have more GM, so we'll either have 2 guys escort one lady, or actually, what I think we'll do is have one of them wait and escort Tim's Grandmothers back down the aisle. They're both widowed.
Cara,
I like the idea of your "extra" guys escorting the grandmothers. That is really sweet.
Jennifer- Too funny! Probably a dream for most guys hehe!
Thanks everyone! She and I feel so much better now!
