I have 2 bridesmaids, 1 Maid of Honor, and 1 Matron of Honor. Initially I was going to have closer to 7 total on my side, but have been very intentional in choosing who stands with me. With that being said, I am also finding other responsibilities for the people who still mean a lot to me. For example, one girl I was going to ask will insteas be participating in a memorial thing I'm doing...another is very gifted in music and is making sure her schedule is clear for my wedding to perform live some key musical parts of the wedding. Special people are still playing special roles, but for me and my venue, I felt anything larger than 4 on each side would be too much. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to how many people to have in your bridal party. I've been to weddings that have 1 on each side and I've been to weddings where they had 8 on each side. Do what makes you and your future spouse feel happy and whole. There is no set answer for obtaining that feeling.

I have 5. We started off with 4, but added another when my fiancé wanted to include one of his important friends.

I have 7. 6 bridesmaids and one maid of honor. My fiancé has 6 groomsmen & one best man. Originally it was 4 on both sides until I forgot about my siblings which added up to 7 which he ended up adding to his to keep the side even.
I think it just depends on what you want and how big you want your wedding party. Personally I have issues finding groomsmen. So we settled on 3. It does not.mean my friends are not involved, they just all will not be wearing matching dresses lol
I have a MOH, Best WoMan, 3 bridesmaids, and a junior bridesmaid. I could’ve had a bigger wedding party, but I only wanted people by my side that truly mean something to me, rather than add more because I was a bridesmaid at their wedding. It’s your day - choose what makes you happy!
Hi I have 6 bridesmaid because I couldn’t leave anyone out so I told him he better find some friends lol cause that’s the minimum I can do but he was okay with that he just said no more
I’m having 3 (1 bridesmaid, 1 matron of honor and 1 maid of honor). My fiancé is having 3 as well (1 bestman, 2 groomsmen). So a wedding party with a total of 6
