How Much is Too Many in your Wedding Party???

We have a total of 20 in all. 1 MOH, 7 BM, 1 JrBm, 1 BM, 7 GM, 1 JrGm 1 RB and 1 FG. Quite Honestly I feel it's too much but I refused to leave out those most important to me to accomodate others with whom I have no relationship with.

I have 1 MOH, 3 BM, 1 FG and 1 RB... and 1 Best Man. Still waiting for fiancée to get it together and ask his groomsmen.

(although pretty soon here I may only have 2 BM instead of 3)

We have 4 on each side including MOH and BM and 1 FG and 1 RB and kind of a JR BM it's my FH little sister, my FG is my niece who'll be like 18mths then so she'll be walking with her

I think if your party is bigger than the guest list there's a problem. LOL

We were originally supposed to have 1 MOH, 2 BMs, FG, Jr BM, 1 best man and 2 GMs

What we ended up with was 1 MOH, 1 best man and 1 FG

At each of my weddings, there was one male attendant and one female attendant. The more attendants you have, the more complicated things get, and the greater the potential for drama.

If everyone gets along and are willing to be present when needed, I don't see a problem with having a big party. It just costs more, but I'm sure you also want your closest friends and family standing next to you so it's worth it.

Personally, I would keep it as small as possible. It makes it easier to coordinate and less drama and fights.

I was originally going to have 8 bridesmaids...I then realized I was just having all my friends in the wedding...not the actual die-hard friends who are always there for me and TRULY deserve the title; so then I realized I only had 3-4 because I wanted my bridal party much more personable. I do think 6 is the usual standard number of bridesmaids; so I'd just do what you feel; it is your wedding and just think about if you're truly wanting that many for the right reasons;and if so; go for it! =)

I have 1 MOH 3 bridesmaids,2FG and he has 1 BM 3 Groomsman 1 RB and 1 Town Crier and their is 1 usher,1 hostess and the Lady in waiting.

Well I have A TOTAL OF 16

2 MOH

4 BM

1BESTMAN

4 GM

1 JB

1 JG

2 FG

1RB

For my friends wedding she only had the MOH and BM. For my wedding, we have my maid of honor, and best man, matron of honor and a BM and 2 GM's and a FG. I went to a wedding that had 12 GM/BM's, 2 FG, a matron of honor and a maid of honor, 2 best men, a RB and a jr bride.

Wow.... My head hurts just thinking about you would coordinate such large bridal parties. We only have 3 standing up on each side, 3 flower girls, 1 ring bearer, and an usher.

I don't think there is any rule to how many people you can have stand up. The larger the bridal party, the longer the pictures will take, the more your photographer will cost.

I have the following:

1 MOH

3 Bridesmaids

1 Best Man

3 Groomsmen

1 Flower Girl

1 Ring Bearer

2 Ushers

I personally didn't want to deal with a lot of people. So we chose to do it this way.

I have a MOH & BM... that's it but we're having a small DW

Wow its alot of different numbers lol. The people in my WP is half my sisters and my BF's. I know they will all manage well they been helpful alot so far. Far as my photography I got a good flat rate for them bc the photographer is family. So i got alot of deals on everything.

Girrrll LOL I have 11 Girls including MOH/BM and 1 RB 2 Flower girls and we have 11 Dudes. My FH has 4 sisters and he is the only boy. You just have a big family and that's ok!

Mine's the same as Sarah C's. I was in a wedding with 10 bridesmaids once. I found it overwhelming and just not as intimate as some smaller weddings I've been in. You hardly got any time with the bride b/c so many girls were around. Just my opinion... plus that was a lotta damn hormones in one space.

Makes me glad I have no sisters -- 1 MOH & 1 Best Man!

Lol I'm only doing 2 :-P

It's all personal prefrence. I had two on my side, any more is too many (for me)

I have 4 BM 1 MOH and 1 FOB (Male Bridesmaid) on my side, And 5 Gm and 1 BM on his side. 3 ushers, 1 flower girl, 1 flower girl escourt, and 1 ring bearer.
