Only the most formal of weddings need that many groomsmen so your fiance may want to reconsider (unless he&#8217;s already asked them).<\/p>\n<p>But, that&#8217;s not what you asked, is it? \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nThe attendants on each side don&#8217;t have to match, but it&#8217;s usually best to keep the numbers similar. So, if there were 5 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, that could appear well (or vice versa). But if there are no other women you&#8217;re close with, don;t just invite a random woman to be in the party to even up the sides since asking to be a member of the wedding party is not only an honor, but a pretty big commitment. Only ask those closest to the couple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/bridal-party\/making-the-cut-who-should-be-in-your-bridal-party\">Making the Cut: Who Should be in Your Bridal Party?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-reception-music-the-best-bridal-party-intro-songs\">Wedding Reception Music: The Best Bridal Party Intro Songs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-planning\/how-to-choose-a-bridal-party\">Ideas for How to Choose a Bridal Party<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/5-essential-little-white-dresses\/\">5 Essential Little White Dresses<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Reader Response<\/h4>\n<p>Thank you!<br \/>\nTo provide additional information: 2 bridesmaids would be close friends of mine; the rest would be close friends of the groom (although I do know them and consider them friendly acquaintances).

I guess you&#8217;d have to consider each woman separately and decide if each woman would appreciate being asked.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry I can&#8217;t give you a more definitive answer. Sometimes these things are just personal decisions to be made and we can only offer what &#8220;most&#8221; do. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h4>Brandi Hamerstone,<br \/>\nOwner\/Senior Wedding Planner All Events Planned<\/h4>\n<p>I absolutely agree with the previous answers. Your bridal party should be filled with people that are close to you, since they are taking on important roles in your wedding. The only time that the bridal party is really going to stand out as being uneven, is in photos. If that&#8217;s the only worry, you can have your photographer try to do different line ups and be more creative with wedding party shots, so that the uneven amount doesn&#8217;t stand out.<br \/>\nWhile I love things to be even, I wouldn&#8217;t just pick random people to &#8220;fill in&#8221; empty spots.
