    2 on each side. Nice and small; however, I'm in my 30s and feel too old to have a large party.

    Wow, old thread!


    I had like 10 to 12 people I could have asked, but my husband only had 3. We figured that was too uneven and would look weird. Plus I can't imagine the logistics and costs of having a dozen bridesmaids. So we decided to just have our siblings (my sister and his 2 sisters). Looking back, it would have made some nice photos to have a ton of people, but I'm glad we were able to have a chill morning getting ready with just our family.How many bridesmaids and groomsmen? 1
