I have 5 and FH has 6, so that definitely isn't too many. I've filmed weddings where there are 30 members in the party, so have however many you'd like!
I have 3 and a jr bridesmaid. Some times I wish i only had two. Getting gifts for everyone as a thank you gets expensive. More people in your wedding more money you spend honestly. So really its up to you and your budget.
I only have 2 in my wedding party which are two my best friends (one of them is my MOH). I dont feel that its important to have a large wedding party but just the ones who are the most important to you to be part of your special day. I didnt want to ask just other people to be part of my party just to have more standing up for me and for pictures. Plus, I am paying for their hair and makeup as my gift to them, so thinking about extra costs was important for myself and my fiance.
I'm having three. I think as long as each person is truly a valued relationship there really isn't a perfect amount. My sister regrets one of hers (she had seven total bridesmaids). The only reason she included her was because she was one of the groomsmen's wives, and of course she ended up being the drama source 🙄
I originally (before getting engaged) planned on 1 bridesmaid (best friend) and 1 moh (my sister) but then I realized it would be nice having his sister be part of it as well. So 2 bridesmaids and 1 moh it is.
I have four. The most I ever considered was five, but I’m plenty happy with four. Plus my fiancé’s niece is a junior bridesmaid, and my two nieces are flower girls.
We’re having just a MOH and BM. We couldn’t decide between all of our friends and family! Plus we wanted the intimacy of just us being at the alter I’ll have a few girls get VIP access to hang with me the morning of though!
I have 12 sooooooo 6 sounds like a healthy number to me lol

I have 5 bridesmaids and 1 junior bridesmaids. It's whatever you want it to be. He gets to choose who stands with him. You get to choose who stands with you. He doesn't have to have 6 people with him
