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 each have two BM and two GM on each side! In total we have 4. It's a small wedding party, but a big wedding.

    2 on each side, so a total of 4. Our best friends are our maid of honor and best friends, and his siblings are bridesmaid and groomsman. About 50 people invited to our wedding.

    Just the MOH & BM, we will have "flower girls" but they are not in the party. ~80 people are invited but we know most of them will not show since many of them are spread out across the country.

    I didn't want too many people up there with us. I've seen wedding parties with as many as 12 attendants on each side. At that point it just seems like you're trying to win a popularity contest! We're sticking with 3 on ear side. That means his brother, my brother, & 1 of his elementary school friends on his side, His brother's wife, my brother's fiancé, & a cousin I'm close to on my side. Also, it's important to keep the size of the venue in mind. You don't want to be squeezing a dozen people up on each side if there's not adequate space. Sometimes using graphing paper can help figure out how much space you need for each person.

    We’re having 6 and 6; FH originally wanted 7 but finally decided to cut it down. I’ll have 5 bridesmaids and one junior bridesmaid and we have 3 flower girls 😬 but our total guest count will be around 110

    There are two on my side and 4 on FH's side. My FMIL wanted me to pick two more so that we were even on both sides, but I didn't think that was necessary. I don't mind it being un-even

    I have 3, fiancé has 4. Wedding is apx 80 people. We wanted to keep the bridal party as small as possible to keep cost and wedding day stress down.

    5 and 5. I have around 130 invited guests. I chose the number of BMs I wanted and then chose people to fit the slots. Luckily I have 5 close friends so it was easy. My FH is struggling though.

    Two on each side. A maid of honor and a man of honor on my side, and two groomsmen on his side. If everyone invited comes with their pluses, we will have about 70 people in total. Nice and small Smiley smile
