bridesman AKA a male bridesmaid!

It sounds OK to me. I have 3 bridesmaids and he has 2 groomsmen (one had to cancel). We felt it would be rude to ask someone as a last resort. I also have an attendant (not standing up for me) ans we have 2 ushers. We are having the ushers escort a bridesmaid and my attendant so everyone will have an escort. They will all sit at the head table to make it even and then everyone has a partner for the bridal party dance. You can make it work. Numbers don't matter. Ours will be uneven at the alter but who cares?

It's your wedding you can do anything you want, remember that. When the bridesmaids/bridesman walk in to the ceremony/banquet are they walking alone or with a partner? if alone great if not just add the bridesman to one other couple of course it would be o.k. Congratulations and Good luck

Ususally it ends up being equal, but it doesn't have to be. It is your wedding and entirely up to you and your fiance. The way our wedding processional went, the groom and groomsmen and best man went up the aisle first, single file. They were followed by bridesmaids and matron of honor - that just happens to be the way its done in our church. It is perfectly okay that the sides are unequal. Just keep that in mind when you decide on the processional and the exit - you may have them go in single file instead of groomsmen escorting bridesmaids and such. Have them leave in the same fashion. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

it probably works out better to have even numbers but I am sure you can make it work either way. For instance for your bridesman, maybe have him escort your mom or someone back down the aisle.

The wedding party is for BOTH of you, so what you are calling your "bridesman" would be standing with the men. So the girls side is now one short.

You don't have to have an even number, one groomsman can bring two bridesmaids down at one time, or each girl can walk down by themselves. The guys could all be standing up at the front.

You don't have to have them equal. and you could always have a bridesman or a groomswoman. :)

It would be better if they could be equal on both sides. Does he have a sister or close female friend that could join the groomsmen on his side. Since you have 3 females and 1 male on your side he should have 3 males and 1 female on his side.

It doesn't have to be equal. Whomever you have chosen to be the attendant of honor for you, can walk the aisle as a single. That way it will be more "balanced". Congrats, and take care.

It really should be a Groomsman for every Bridesmaid....
But, with how lax most people are with Proper Do's & Don't's these days....
You never know ~ you may be OK
