I have four bridesmaids, and that's pretty well set. He's got six guys, including two brothers, and he says he can't imagine cutting any of them. Sending them to be ushers isn't an option, we both have close friends that we also want involved, and I don't have other close female friends or relatives I'd want to join in without it seeming to be a stretch.
Any suggestions on how to make the numbers work, without looking too lopsided, or making it look like a popularity contest? Do we need to just suck it up and make cuts?

You don't have to have an equal number on each side. I had 4 attendants and my husband had two. We weren't going to ask people to be in the wedding just to make the numbers match. I think it's in bad taste to include people you wouldn't have otherwise asked just to make it even.

Hey its your wedding and nobody is going to care if it looks lopsided. There are too many other things to worry about then just making sure that you have equal no of girls and guys. I
I friend of mine just got married and had 3 girls and 5 guys. She had 2 guys usher 2 of the girls, for pics they did most of them with the guys standing behind the girls with the bride & groom to the side and it turned out really nice. Oh yeah and her niece did not want to be a junor bride b/c she was determined to wear a tux, so she ended up becoming to ring barer

It really just depends on if you want the sides to be even or not.
If you can't imaging having lopsided wedding pictures, you're either going to have to cut two guys or add two girls. If you have to cut guys from groomsmen, there are other things they could do, such as act as a master of ceremonies for your reception (good for a very personable guy) or do readings or even sing at the ceremony (if they have musical talent).
If you don't care about even-ness and just want everyone close to you involved, don't worry about it at all! You can have two guys walk one girl.
Just remember, having these six guys might be very, very important to him. If so, you might just have to dig up two more girls.

Don't make ANY cuts!!! I have 6 Bridesmaids and 8 Groomsmen. You can either double up and put 2 guys with 1 girl or you can have the girls all walk down sperately and have the groomsmen already at the alter. Just because your wedding party isn't even, doesn't mean a thing gurly! You can make it work!! CONGRATS!

It's perfectly fine to have an uneven number. If you have to guys walk in with the groom instead of walking the bridesmaids down the aisle, no one will even notice that there is an uneven number. It'll look fine! Good Luck!

i would probably put one of the groomsmen as one of the bestmen .there is no rule to having just one best man. then 5 guys will be left let one of the bridesmaid walk down with 2 guys .or just have all the bridesmaids come out to one song and then all the groomsmen come out to one song.my cousin did this and it looked so good.the groomsmen came out with canesticks with their own customized march then the bridesmaid came out afterwards doing their own little step to the music.Its your wedding the numbers dont have to be even either way its a wedding its going to look good.nobody will notice unless you are mismatched.

the two other guys should walk together:) kidding. Try to get extra girls, cuz the guys will feel left out .if you don't have them involved in the wedding, even though its a small part it means a lot to play a small part in a friends wedding. So try to get everyone involved.

I agree with Tiffany. I like it when two guys walk with one girl and vice versa. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you already asked the groomsmen to be in the wedding, it wouldn't be fair to cut 2.

As somebody else spoke back - traditionally that is been the bride. at present although - the bride many times consults together with her bridesmaids & provides them some enter as to what they'll positioned on & a compromise is reached. In Australia & i think the u . s . a . - bridal social gathering attendants many times pay for their very very own clothing ; with the bride giving her bridesmaids rings to positioned on on the day .
