2 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen?

As of right now, I am planning for my future sister in law and my best friend to be my bridesmaids, while my FH has 3 friends and 1 brother he wants to be his groomsmen. I'm worried that the pictures will look weird or people will assume that I just don't have any friends since he has so many more people. The only people I can think of adding to my bridal party would be my coworkers, but they are all 10+ years older than I am with kids, and it seems like they wouldn't be interested in being bridesmaids, like that phase of life is over for them. Am I overanalyzing?

If symmetry is important to you, add people. However, your pictures will not look weird because there are uneven numbers. No one is going to think you have no friends. I actually only have 2 friends. FH and I are just having BM and MOH along with my children cousins. I would not ask people to be in my wedding if we were not close.

I had 2 and H had 4. The symmetry thing bothered me at first too until I came on here and realized that it’s wrong to use people as props for your photos. In hindsight, I made the right choice. When I look at the pictures, I don’t see uneven numbers. I see the most important people to me and my husband and not a bunch of randos that will remind me every time I look that I only added to seem like I had more friends than I did.

Don’t add people to your bridal party who you don’t want there just to meet a certain number. Uneven sides are fine and extremely common.

I wouldn’t add people just because it’s uneven. Your bridal party should be your nearest and dearest. I’m having 4 BM and my FH has 2 GM.

We have an uneven bridal party. 6 on my side and 3 on his. We wanted to keep it true to what each of us wanted rather than adding people just for symmetry.

This was exactly the feed I needed to read!! We are nearly 40 and this is my second marriage, but our wedding has gotten bigger by the day. Since this is his first, 4-5 groomsmen are on his list, but I only have 2 bridesmaids. Thank you for stressing the point of NOT choosing fillers just to even the sides. I am thankful for my small, close knit bunch. Now I have a plan!!!

We are also uneven with 2 ladies and 3 men. I thought about adding people I was not close with but then had to tell myself: Who cares what others think!
