FH wants 13 Groomsmen!!!!

Ok so I asked my FH how many groomsmen he wants and he names off 13 people!! This is supposed to be a simple beach wedding. Is 13 to many in general?!? He said that they'll want to be a part, isn't there something else we can ask them to do?!?

    I wouldn't mind about the #, but then my mom is keeping my budget to herself (I want to keep it below $6000 total - but know that I can go way over that if I really want to)... just smiles and says "You can't spend all the money I have put aside for this." Bless her heart.... She didn't even flinch when I told her I found a venue for $4000, just said if that was what I wanted.... (Which I did, but not to the tune of $4000.... I am too frugal for that, we are doing a backyard wedding).

    My issue is opposite. I ask him, "Who would you like to stand up with you." His response "I don't know who will be able too..." You never know until you ask!!

    We ended up deciding on 3 each. My FH decided on his dad, cousin, and nephew (who will be 15 at the time of the wedding.) and our RB who is his 3 yo nephew.

    I am having my 2 best friends from middle school and high school, and my FH neice who will be 12 at the time of the wedding.

    Is 12 considered a Jr. Bridesmaid.... is it wrong to just call her a bridesmaid?

    Well all we've got is a MoH and a BM, so I'll take some of yours! Lol. 13 is a crazy amount! I would tell him narrow it down because we have nowhere for them. Tell him hell still get pictures with all and they are still invited but that you simply cannot afford that many!
