Bridal Party Decisions

I have 5 BM and my FH has at the moment 2 GM not sure if he's having any others hopefully he will.

We had 5 people per side so I definitely don't think 5 or 6 is too many. We also had 2 flower girls, 1 usher, and ring bearer. I have been to weddings with 2-10 people per side, but it is totally up to you on how many you want to include. Personally, I would include those you can't imagine not having stand next to you. If that that 2 people or 10 that's what I would do.

Personally I don't think it's too complicated to have quite a few. I have seen some of my friends have like nine bridesmaids hahaha. Is there a reason why you feel that 6 would be too many? I would suggest as long as you did not already ask them to be a part of the bridal party and want to shorten the list and go for it. However if you already asked these people to be bridesmaids or groomsmen and then take it back it will be offensive.

I would just pick whoever you're closest to. If that's 6 people, have your 6

I had 10 bridesmaids and had no issues. The only thing is a larger wedding party is more expensive.

If you can afford it, I'd just include the people you have already. I don't think that's too big at all.

I’m in the same boat... I have three solid bridesmaids and he has five solid groomsmen... I have people to add to my bridal party but then I know others would get jealous... we are back and fourth cutting and adding people.. on top of that everyone wants to be in it!!! Good luck ❤️❤️

I have a total of 4 BM and my Fiance has 4 GM! We wanted to keep it short and sweet. It is also cheaper too when it comes to gifts.

I have 5 BM and my FH still hasn't figured out who he's having as his GM.


I pretty much have my best friend and 2 are my cousins n my sister in laws and my FSIL.

We have 6 each. Any more than that I feel would just be too many and less than 4 feels like too little to me. But that’s just for me! I don’t see anything wrong with only havOmg a few people in the bridal party! It’s whatever you feel comfortable with.
I know sometimes people get worried about how much it could cost but I’ve been really up front with my girls and let them know that as much as I would love to do everything for them I can’t afford it at all. So I found really beautiful inexpensive bridesmaid dresses for them on amazon. I told them the kind of shoes I want them to wear and that I didn’t care if they found something for $20 as long as they were brown cowboy boots. My MOH graciously offered to do any of the other girls’ makeup if they wanted and I’m letting them do whatever they want with their hair. And their gifts I found inexpensive on Etsy and I’m also making them each a couple things. And they all understand that they will be paying for their hotels and the theme park after the wedding. I made sure they all knew if there was anything they couldn’t afford or weren’t able to do, that it’s okay and no hard feelings.

Just don’t feel like you’re obligated to do anything specific and make sure everyone knows what they need to do before any commitments are set in stone for them individually so they can let you know if it’s something they’re able to do.
