I have two MOH, one is the maid and the other one is the matron(were i come from we call them Madrinas) 4 bridemaids, three jr. bridemaid, one flower girl, and one little bride(we do that were i come from) so its a total of 11girls...

The main reason i had to do it is becuase i have 4 sons and 1 step son and i truely want them in my wedding....also i have sister, sister-in-law and three brother-in-law and i want them all to be in the wedding too...so what i want to know do you guys think is tacky or ghetto????

    It is your wedding, you make the calls you want them all up there with you then you have them all up there with you

    I have 1 MOH, 3 BMs and 1 flower girl but I wanted bigger but was forced to keep it on the smaller side because of FS desires to only have 4 guys on his side ...

    I have

    1 maid of honor

    6 brides maids

    2 jr brides maids

    and he only has 6 grooms men

    I struggled with that too...but the more I thought about it....I want my best friends up there with me...and I wouldn't have it any other way. People have told me that "its too many" but honestly I have a lot of best friends and thats just the way it is Smiley smile Actually I looked at pictures of weddings that had only a few bridesmaids and then wedding pictures with a lot of bridesmaids...and honestly the bigger wedding parties looked like much more fun...especially when you are surrounded with the ones you love. Hope this helps!

    The only thing that is the downside is how much more you need to pay for flowers and gifts....and hopefully you choose people who will help you and be easy going and organized. Other then that...do what you want!

    I don't think having a large (or small!) WP is ghetto. It's whatever you want.
