I have a total of 4 (including maid of honor) and my FH also has 4. To be completely honest, my FH and I are paying for the wedding and could not afford a bigger party. Between adding extra heads to the rehearsal dinner or providing our bridal party with gifts, it was just expenses we had to consider in making our decision.
None! No one is reliable I don’t have time For that LOL!!! I originally had my sister but she’s doesn’t seem so excited and has other things going on in her life to worry about being my moh
I will be having 6 bridesmaids myself...I guess it just all depends on how important you feel each individual is to you and why you want them standing next to you on that day
I also have none. We both agreed that we wanted a simple ceremony and for it to be about us. Plus I have been in more than enough weddings that I did not want to deal with others opinions, or attitudes, or have to figure out who to have in my party or deal with flakers.
We each have 4. Two are my best friends of over 10 years and 2 are his sisters. His groomsmen he has 2 of his brothers, 1 long time friend and 1 future brother in law (his sister’s SO). I tend to find the larger your bridal party the more drama that may ensue.
We have 2 each. I could have easily added 3 more, but my fiancé wanted to keep it simple. It does make coordinating everything so much easier and cheaper when it comes to makeup, flowers, gifts, etc.
We selected to have 0 bridesmaids and 0 groomsmen. We’re only inviting 65 of our closest family/friends. So, these are already special guests in our lives. We have sold friendships and just prefer that all of our guests relax and enjoy our wedding day, without spending any extra money or having any additional obligations. No one questioned our decision. Even without being bridesmaids, one circle of my friends want to host a bridal shower and our best friends will still hang out while we get dressed... simply because they’re our true friends (and we all know that title is more meaningful than “bridesmaid” any day).
