I have 5 bridesmaids including my MOH. My Fiance has 6 groomsmen including his best man.
I am totally fine with us not having the same number of attendants.
I didn't ask one of my friends to be in our wedding party because she is the MOH at a wedding the weekend before, and honestly I didn't want to overwhelm her.
This past weekend the friend I didn't ask got engaged (SOOOO Excited for her!!!) and there was a surprise engagement party where we all had (admittedly) a few too many drinks. We got talking and I told her I had wanted to ask her but I didn't want to overwhelm her. She said she was surprised I hadn't asked her, and she wouldn't be overwhelmed at all. So I said will you be a bridesmaid then? And she said yes.
My wedding planning is already WELL underway - 3/5 of my ladies have chosen their dresses, I asked my girls back in March/April. We already had our engagement party with our wedding party and family. I guess my question is - is it bad that I asked her now? Should I have just let her "sit this one out"? I am having really mixed emotions about whether or not I did the right thing.
