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!

    We have 5 on each side, 2 JBM, 1 JGM, 1 FG and 1 RB. I initially only wanted 3 on each side then he kept adding people, so I did. We have about 115 guest on the list to attend.

    We are having 5 on each side plus 2 flower girls and 1 ring bearer. Our wedding is small for us but we only invited 75. We both came from a big family.

    We had two bridesmaids and seven groomsmen. He had more people in mind that he wanted to honor, but the drastically uneven numbers made him feel bad. (I told him to go for it since what is a few more, but he said no. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

    2 Maids of Honor (my two college best friends), 6 Bridesmaids, 1 Best man, 7 Groomsmen, no FG or RB. We based our number off of FH friends- 5 from college, 3 from high school.

    We’re having three on each side. We have invited about 90 people.
    Maid of honor: my 18 yr old daughter,
    Bridesmaid: my 17 yr old daughter
    Jr. Bridesmaids: his 11 yr old niece

    Best man: his brother
    Groomsman: my 14 yr old son
    Jr Usher: my 11 yr old son

    we just wanted our family to be in our wedding party because I’m bringing four kiddos into our marriage, plus we wanted them take part of our day as well. They are super excited to be part our the wedding. My 14 and 11 yr old are even carrying our rings, instead of letting his brother hold them.

    I felt the same way for my first marriage. The way I solved that was I just told my girls to pick any dress as long as it was long and a certain color. It worked out great!!! This wedding we aren't having a BM or MOH specifically.

    I had 10 total. 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. It was supposed to be just my 3 sisters but he added a 4th groomsmen and then I had to add a 5th because I couldn't have one of my friends and not the other lol

    It was going to be none. But then DH already asked 2 people so I asked my cousin to be MOH and had my son who was 9 at the time stand up with us. Worked perfectly since our ceremony space was a little gazebo on a roof top in Vegas

    We are having a small wedding (100-110 guests) and we're not doing a wedding party but his niece and nephew will be the flower girl and ring bearer. I want the focus to be on us. Any other brides not having a wedding party?

    I had 7 potential.
    Fiance had 5.
    We thought about it.
    And I decided 4 was an excellent number.
    He wanted to keep things fairly even.
    I was fine with that.

    2 and 2 for us! And we had 40 guests attend! If we had a large gathering like 200 maybe we would have added one more each, but honestly these were our closest friends.
