i'm having an issue with my wedding party. my problem is my husband to be has chosen 3 men: a best man and 2 groomsman. my problem is that I don't have a lot of close girlfriends so i have chosen my sister as the maid of honour but dont have any bridesmaids. we've chosen not to have a ring bearer, but will be having my neice as the flower girl. how can i make the wedding party more balanced without leaving anyone out or having to add people that I don't really want in the wedding?

The great thing about weddings is: There are no rules!!! It doesn't matter if he has 3 groomsmen and you only have 1 ... it also wouldn't matter if you had a brother or close male friend on your side! I have seen it done and it is a great idea. The groom had a female on his side and the bride had a male on her side. That way the families knew who the attendant was friends with ... and it made things that much different.

Since you have asked your sister to be your maid of honor, then if he has any sisters ask them to be your bridesmaids; however, if he does not have any sisters then ask another relative on either side. Make sure you can stand the presence of the people that you pick because you will be with them for a long time on your wedding day (hair appointments, make-up, nails, photos, etc.).

Make his two friends ushers and only have a best man and maid of honor. He should have really sat down and talked to you about it first!!! We were the opposite, I had 2 too many people and we sat down and discussed what we would do before inviting them to be in the party. He decided to ask a good guy friend of mine from high school and his brother inlaw. If you want to add bridemaids- sister in laws, relatives or maybe a female of his friend?

my bf and i were discussing our wedding party the other day... just roughly... i want my 2 bff's, his sister, his sister-in-law, and possibly my cousin. however we could only come up with 4 guys for him his brother, bro-in-law, cousin, and my brother. we still have about 2.5yrs to finalize this list but i think that if he has any sisters that you are close to you could include them in the wedding party. if not it doesn't really matter too much... i've been to a few weddings where the wedding party isn't balanced and it looks fine.

I don't have a lot of close friends that are girls either. I asked other family members, my sister-in-law and cousin. Just use female family members. It really doesn't matter. Even mom or your aunt.

Have some bridesmen. See if one of the groomsmen would like to stand on your side.

you must have some cousins or co-workers - or a sister or cousin of your man...
