I say keep the uneven number.  One of my bridesmaids just dropped out (and only a month and half to the wedding) so we opted to just have the 2 and 3.  At first I wasn't for it but if the extra person is ok walking down the aisle by themselves I say go for it.

My vote is uneven. We had 5 girls and 4 guys until the last minute when my SIL decided to come in town for the wedding. She didn't have a dress so we had her dress in black and stand with the guys, mostly her brothers.

I would have been just fine with an uneven #.

I wouldn't ask someone else either. Keep it uneven. The last guy can walk with 2 ladies or she can walk alone. Whatever she is comfortable with.

I do not think quantity is NEARLY as important as quality. I want the most important people in my and my Fiance's lives standing up there with us, I don't care if it's 5 for me and 10 for him. :)

It’s completely on you and your FI to decide what you want.....As such there are no such rules to make the equal numbers on both side.....Four and three are just fine......Only if you or your FI are happy with it.....We are having 4 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen......But we are fine with it.....

I agree with chelsthebride, it's about quality not quantity.  If you were to ask someone now, would she feel you only asked because you need another 'body'.

I have an uneven wedding party -- 4 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids. I didn't want to ask another lady to be a bridesmaid or have my fiancee "fire" a groosmen just to make things even. We have the people closest to us in our wedding and I think it'll turn out just fine :)
Good luck!

I think eveything can work well if it's uneven.

Uneven is just fine. I was unsure about it, as I'm a fan of symmetry, but after some convincing, I've decided not to bring in someone I don't truly want to stand up there with me just for looks.

We'll probably end up with an uneven bridal party, too. But, I'm not too concerned about it. We're not going to have the two sides walk down the aisle together, anyway. The guys will be up front waiting, and the girls will walk down the aisle. No worries!

Uneven is fine. The tradition ceremony setup is that the groomsmen come out with the groom & the bridesmaids walk individually. It's only in recent years that people are escorting eachother up the aisle. If the party is uneven, go with the original ceremony style of walking out separately. If you want to escort anyway, what you do is have either the best man or maid of honor(whichever has more guys or girls' side) walk alone, in order to distinguish them amongst the wedding party. If the groom side is heavier, you can also have just the best man walk out and stand with the groom at the alter; lots of options.

Back down the aisle, it's natural to walk out in pairs. You can do the same thing with the maid of honor or best man. Have whichever side that has more attendants start the processional outbound with a single person. This way, the heavier party doesn't appear to have a straggler.

~Miss Abby's two cents, save it or spend it.

I agree with the previous posts! I also have an odd number (6 girls/5 guys) and it will be just fine. I was just given the idea that one of my girls walking with the flower girl (flower girl is only 1 1/2 years old) so I might go with this idea....havent decided yet. Have the people that mean the most to you in your wedding :)

I agree, go with uneven! I've been to lots of weddings with uneven wedding parties and it doesn't look weird at all.
