    There is no set limit. My cousin had 12 bm and 12 groomsmen when she got married.

    You do not even have to have any if you do not want to. You can have 2 MOH's or you can have none. It really is up to you, but i think that there can too many. Look at the size of your venue and think about what will look best and then go from there. You do not want the front of the church for instance to be too crowded and you want to see everybody's face in the pictures!

    There is normally no limit. But before you start asking people to be part of the wedding party, you may want to ask the church if they have a limit, and if there's a certain age for flower girls and ring boys. I'm being married in a Basilica, and they only allow 2 girls and 2 guys for the wedding party, and flower girls and ring boys have to be over the age of 4.

    Good Luck!

    It's totally up to you. I would take into consideration how big or small the ceremony location is. You also want to take into consideration the costs for the gowns/tux. Not everyone can afford to spend that amount of money, unless you're paying. I would start by picking the people that are the closest to you.

    I've heard the general rule that for every 50 guests, you should have one BM and one GM. Really, you just want to balance the size of your bridal party with the style/formality/mood and size of your wedding. Small weddings would look weird with a large bridal party and a bigger guest list would make a small bridal party seem awkward. And the more people in the bridal party, the more formal the event will look/feel... Also keep in mind your budget. The more people you have in the bridal party, the more your flowers will costs...

    Totally up to you. Like someone else said, you don't want to have a total of 18 people in your wedding party for a 50 guest ceremony. I did a wedding on Saturday that had 8 BM's and 8 GM with 2 FG's and 2 RB's. They also had over 200 guests.

    Hello Bride To Be,

    Congratulations on your engagement. Regarding your wedding party, there's really no set number, it all comes down to who you want to be part of your special day. You and your Groom To Be might want to sit down and come up with a number. Think about those who have been there for you through thick and thin and deserve to be honored to be part of your wedding. Most of us can count those type of friends with one hand and those lucky one have a few more.

    Good luck!!

    Good evening and congratulations!

    First of all, I want to point out that if we all look around the old rules are not really in play.

    The bride and groom is the "queen & King" and gets to say in this court.

    If the two of you only desire 1 flowergirl or 3 it's your wedding.

    Wheather you want your sister, your bestfriends and your first cousin as well as your sister-inlaw to be as bridesmaids that is your choice as well. So Groom you can choose to match pair to pair.

    You can also just have a witness for each side. one ~ one

    Among the above weddings we have done a wedding that had more bridesmaids then groomen. When walking down the isle they just alternated paired single paired single.....etc....

    You see there is no real rule, it is up to your heart. Congratulations
