I'm sorry but that is going to be a really awkward wedding. At least do 6 and then you have have each guy walk down with 2 bridesmaids...better yet would be 5 and 3...best man & Maid/matron and then each of the other guys gets matched with two BM.
Why do you need 7? That is ALOT! Aren't there other responsibilities you could assign to some of them? Couldn't your guy find a few other guys to balance out the numbers some...even one more guy would make my second option work out for you...

Don't worry about having an uneven number. Its ridiculous for anyone to think that you and your husband to be will have the same # of good friends (bridesmaids & groomsmen).
Anyone that looks at that is too superficial or too insecure with themselves that they don't want others to think that they or their beau don't have enough friends.
Don't try to get more people, its an added expense and headache, because one thing we all learn is that some groomsmen and bridesmaids are totally unrealiable and you'll be spending all your time looking for them or trying to get them involved in activities...come on we've all seen "the best of Bridezilla (We channel)"
I've been to weddings before where they have had uneven #'s and no one makes a big deal about it. For the dance you can just have 3 couples dance (3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen) or have 4 of the bridesmaids dance with their boyfriends/dates/husbands. Then afterwards have them escort the bridal parties to their respective seats and then they go to their seats as guests.
You are the bride you set the mood. If you don't make a big deal about it, no one else will. And if you embrace your ratio of bridesmaids to groomsmen, others will to. If you try to hide it up, then others will seek it out because they'll see that its your weakness and that its something that embarasses you and is worth gossiping over. But if you love it, then there's nothing they really can say about it.
Good Luck with the Planning and with Married Life

There's really no need for an introduction dance if you don't want it, but like other people suggested, you could have fathers/dates/etc. dance with the additional bridesmaids, or you could have the groomsmen take turns with all of the bridesmaids. (You could get really creative and turn it into more of a square-dance type thing with them switching partners regularly, but that may requre a fair bit of coordination ahead of time.)
And don't listen to people who tell you that you should have certain numbers in the wedding party, or that the numbers have to be balanced. What's important is that these are the people you want to stand up for you on your special day. Congratulations!

You can have the additional bridesmaids dance with their boyfriends/spouses/fathers/ushers or other male guests at the wedding.
You could eliminate the introduction dance and just introduce your wedding party verbally, but have just a bride/groom dance.
You could dance to a rock/hip hop song where everybody just dances with everyone else.

Are you getting married on a sandbar? you have 3 toddlers as your bridesmaids? in basic terms have uneven wedding ceremony events, its nice. oftentimes, the groomsmen and the groom do no longer technique in. they only stand on the front, and the flower woman, ring bearer, bridesmaids, and then the bride and whoever is giving her away stroll down the aisle. After the ceremony, the couple walks out mutually, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen stroll out as couples, to the quantity that their numbers make that achievable.

Draw a beard on 2 of the bridesmaids.

I have never heard of an introduction dance, and I've been to plenty of weddings and have read a shelf-full of wedding books. Where are you getting this tradition from?
Let people dance with whomever they brought as a date.

Don't have an introduction dance. Just have the bride and grooms first dance.

This is your wedding!!!
I would do that if I wanted to.
I would probably instruct that "she" be announced and a well dressed man (father, boyfriend, son etc) arise and come from any guest table, go to her and she take his arm. Don't announce 'his' name-it will therefore be absolutely understood each of the other 4 are unaccompanied by a groomsman.
I dont see this as a big deal.
Have the best day of your life! Congrats.!

Can your wrangle up a few more groomsmen?? My Fi only had 2 friends, so we ask my brother, my friend from high school, his brother and his brother inlaw. It's kinda strange because when you walk down the isle..... your going to have 4 girls with no groomens. If you can't then just have their boyfriends/husbands dance with them......
