How many people are in your wedding party?

Curious to see how many people are in your wedding party! Did you decide on a certain number of people and then pick your party, or the other way around? If you have a small wedding party, are you having a smaller wedding? Are the larger wedding parties having a larger wedding? Let me know!

    I’m having my MOH, 3 bridesmaids and 1 flower girl. My FH has his best man and 4 groomsmen. We’re also considering his best friend, and officiant, as an honorary groomsman.

    I and FH each have 3 bridesmaids/groomsmen and then we have our maid of honor and best man. We wanted a smaller party since we knew we would both be nervous so we just wanted close friends with us

    I wanted 8 girls and my fiancé wanted to split it equal (and I agree too). However that was way too many, I decided to cut it down to 4 girls and 4 guys. It was a tough decision, but looking back at it I’m happy I made the choice to cut it!

    I did zero 😯 which is so different. We decided against a wedding party because we couldn’t choose, but also to minimize the stress of coordinating people.

    2 maids of honor and three best
    Men. 2 Jr. groomsmen. Our guest count is 50-55 so it’s perfect.

    We have 7 on each side, 1 RB, 1 FG, and 4 ushers. We were going to do 2 Usher but our priest told us 3-4 & my FH couldn’t decide between 2 of the friends to make it 3 so he went with 4. We’re having about 300 people so a large wedding

    We have a total of 4 on each side. My FH was really upset by this because he has so many friends. I didn't want to have to "play pretend" on who was on my side .. so we stuck with 4. It's also so much cheaper buying gifts for these folks lol

    4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen. So 10 include the groom and I! I originally had more planned but saw the expenses and decided to shorten it. I had to make some tough decisions but if you’re worried about that, there are other things for your friends to do, like guest book attendant, reader during your ceremony, being in charge on reception decorations, etc.
