How many Groomsmen are customary for a wedding and what roles can I fit some other guys into? My problem is that I have more close friends than my Fiance does and she is making me take her two brothers as groomsmen as well as my brother. This means that my best friends can't be in the wedding. Any advice about this would be awesome.
You didn't say how many your bride is planning to have but an average is 6 equally. I often have bridal parties with uneven numbers on one side or the other. If you already have a large number of attendants, could you ask your additional friends to serve as ushers? Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
You could also ask your friends to assist you on the day of your wedding helping your family and attendants. You could then acknowledge their help during the reception. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
