This was hard, I always prayed my soon to be husband didn't have friends but he does lol. So he has 2 bestmen, 7 groomsmen, 1 Jr grooms a ringbearer and sign holder. I have 1 maid of honor, 1 matron of honor, 7 bridesmaids, 1 Jr bride and 2 flower girls. A huge wedding party!
I have 8! It seems like a lot but all of them are my best friends. I have a great small group of close friends vs. a lot of friends. When looking at our guest list, I don't think I'm inviting many friends because I don't have too many but rather closer ones. My fiancé also has 8 groomsmen.
Right now I have 4, but I have a feeling that 1 of them is going to drop out. I have my Best Friend of 25 years, my oldest daughter, my sister in law and my cousin in law. I was in no way going to choose between my friends. My Fiancé has 4 groomsmen, His best friend of who knows how long (LOL) our son, a friend and my best friends hubby.
I have 4 bridesmaids! My FH has 4 groomsmen! Even number. We just picked the closest people to us and we knew for sure that we didn’t want a large bridal party.
I haven't asked anyone yet because it is way too early. But I have 4 bridesmaids chosen including one maid of honor. No flower/ring children. We are also hoping that Covid will be gone by our date so we don't end up with more attendants than guests. Plus they are closest, nearest and dearest people.
I don't mind paying for gifts and hair/makeup. Not having them wear anything special for getting ready attire and they will pick their own jewelry.
