Wedding Party: Even or Uneven Sides?

How many people are in your wedding party? Will you have an even number of attendants on each side?

    We have a total of 5 (which makes me really happy because 5 is my favourite number lol). 3 on my side (2 girls and a guy) and 2 on his side. So uneven and also slightly non traditional with a guy MOH.

    We have 2 only, my maid of honour and his best man. We wanted to keep it simple and the only other option would have been having 10 on each side to make sure no feelings were hurt.

    We each have 8 girls and guys in total with us! I have two MoH because I have two sisters and he has two best men (brother & best friend).

    We each have 4 but two of mine are MOH, I couldn't pick between the two of them. The only difference is one will be my witness and one won't. lol

    And my family is much larger than his so it will be around 40ish people for the ceremony, my immediate family and basically all his.

    Hopefully even! We each have 4. However, one of our groomsman's wives is pregnant and due 5 days before our wedding, so fingers crossed our new baby niece doesn't choose the wedding day to come into the world!!

    Originally they were uneven. I have 4 and my FH had 5 but this past week one of the groomsmen got kicked out due to not being sure if he will even attend the wedding so not we are even at 4 each.

    We are have even sides but my Matron of Honour doesn't want to stand with everyone else during the ceremony so during the ceremony it will look uneven.

    Ours is even, 4 bridesmaids, 4 groomsmen.

    I would have been ok if it was uneven though, we would have just paired people up

    Even. One MOH and one BM. We wanted to keep it very simple, so just having our siblings worked out so well for us.

    we will have my FHs sister take part in the wedding in another way.

    Uneven for us. I have 2 girls and he has 3 guys. So many people have been like "well how will they be paired up?!" The answer: we're not pairing them up. Since there are 3 guys and 3 grandmas each guy will escort a grandmother during the processional and during the recessional FH and I will walk down, then the best man, then my maid of honour, then a groomsman, them my bridesmaid, then a groomsman and that shouldn't draw as much attention to the odd numbers.

    4 and 4 for us. But our guest list is not even. I have way more family on my side then he does. So we aren't having a seating chart. Every gets to sit where they like.

    3 and 3 for us, but I'm having 2 MOH's. I didn't care whether we had the same numbers but FH was surprisingly adamant that BM's and GM needed to be even.

    UNEVEN! I have 4 on my side and he has 3. He wanted to ask a 4th but he hadn't spoke in years (no fall out, just distance) and he felt it might be awkward. He's still coming as a guest though.

    Odd for us! FH decided to have 2 best men last minute so even if we wanted an even number, it’s far too late to ask any of my girlfriends.
