I am getting married in January 2007, and have 8 bridesmaids and there are 8 groomesmen. here's my problem. I have been haning out with this girllately, we were casual friends b4 i got engaged, but now we have become really close. i have already selected my bridal party but would love for her to be a bridesmaid. then i am afraid i will have too many and it will be uneven. is it proper to add a bridesmaid later?
Bridesmaids are an honored role in the bridal party. The role should be filled by only those closest to you. Since you have just met this person, adding her as a bridesmaid might feel like a slight to your other bridesmaids. Plus, who knows where this relationship will go. Why add problems? If you really feel like you want her to have apart then ask her to hand out programs or preside over the guest book at the reception.
8 bridesmaids are already a handful. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
I completely agree. Plus, the number of attendants are typically based on the formality of your event and the number of your guests. Eight is a lot of attendants.
The attendants do not have to be equal on both sides. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
