My fiancé, out of excitement and the goodness of his heart, asked four of his best friends to be his groomsmen within days of us getting engaged and said he would also like to ask his younger brother. The problem is, he was so excited, he forgot to ask for my input. The only person I feel close enough to ask is my sister. It's -really important-to us that our sides are even. It would also feel unnatural to move his friends to my side, but I also don't have the heart to have 3 of them step down and participate in another way. 

What's the best option? Do I ask people I'm not very close to to be my bridesmaids? Is it appropriate to ask someone who doesn't know my fiancé very well if I do end up reconnecting with old friends?
