Just keep in mind that the more people you have in your BP the more likely you are to have some sort of drama lol

OK I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A WARNING.......THIS WAS ONE OF MY REGRETS!!!
I never knew the problems I would have until I got closer to the wedding date and on the wedding day......I had 6 BM, 1 MOH 6 GM, 1 BM and it was the worse thing about my wedding. I don't think anyone should have more than 5 including MOH.
It is VERY HARD to get EVERYONE on the same page....Let me say it again
IT IS VERY HARD TO GET EVERYONE TO COOPERATE WITH YOU.
Spare yourself the stress and CUT IT DOWN. You're gonna wish you didn't do it when your day comes. TRUST ME

Patrice - Don't listen to people who tells you that is too many, it's not. I've done a lot of research on this, and there are no rules. You know what you can handle. You are very lucky to have so many close friends/family. My gf just got married with 8 bridesmaids/9 groomsmen, and it was a blast.

My wedding party has 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen, and every one of my girls has been so helpful. Having this size of a wedding party has made things really exciting.

I don't think it's too many people! Have as many people as you want. We are having 5 on FH's side, 5 on my side, 1 flower girl and 1 ring bearer. I think thats a lot but we had to accommodate all of FH's sisters (he's got 4).

Now when FH's sister got married, she had 36 people in her wedding party. Which included all of her siblings (theres 7 all together), inlaws and all their children. I think I would've gone bonkers with that many people.

We have 4 on each side, including 1 MOH and 1 BM. One of my girlfriends has only 1 MOH and 1 BM. Another one of my girlfriends has 12 BMs and 3 FGs on her side alone.....

I think it's entirely up to the bride and groom to decide how many people they want to stand up for them on their wedding day. It shouldn't be based on how many guests you're having, how many siblings you have, how many FG and RB age kids you know, etc., etc. It should be about who you feel supports you in a way to deserve the honor. Do what's right for you!
