I'm the female version of "I love you, Man". Is ONE bridesmaid OK?

You can have as many or as few as you want. Some just skip this altogether. Some have to have equal amounts on each side and others don't care if there are more on one side.

I am having my maid of honor and 2 bridesmaids (was 3, but not sure if she is still doing it *rolls eyes*) BUT my fiancé says he can't think of anyone he wants to stand up next to him aside from his brother whom will be the best man. His friends and him have drifted apart and he doesn't really make an attempt to make any new ones. I wanted to have equal on both sides so hopefully by this time next year, he'll have decided to have more on his side. If not then oh well because I love my girls and they gotta stand by my side! =)

I'll be honest I have never been to a wedding where there is just 1 bridesmaid unless it was a 2nd wedding or older couple who just had their kids in it. You still have a year until your wedding so you don't have to make that decision any time soon. Who knows who you will Meet and become great friends with! HOWEVER if you decided to have just the 1 bridesmaid, go for it! Who cares! Its your wedding and if you are happy that is all that matters!

I am having my maid of honor and FH is having a best man and a groomsmen. I dont have many girl friends that I am close to anymore. So I'm just having one.

The royal wedding only had one BM (adult).

In my country is very common to have just one, in fact I've never seen anyone get married with more than one until I got here.

I think you will be fine with just one.

I had the same problem. The girl I wanted for my MOH lives in another state, so I ended up choosing someone I am not as close to for that. the other girl is still a BM. At that point FH had a Best Man and 1 groomsmen. Later he added another groomsman, so I asked his sister to be a BM.

I think it all depends on what YOU want and how YOU have pictured your wedding. No one else's opinion (except FH, of course) should matter.

I am having my best friend stand up with me and my FH is having his. I didnt want a big wedding party.

Thank you for the feedback ladies! @Carolina G, loved the comment about the royal wedding, lol! I keep trying to tell myself that it is OUR day and we can do whatever we want. Plus, we do intend on getting married at a beach house where having a huge wedding party wouldn't be ideal.

Thanks so much everyone, I just needed to hear what others thought!

I am have 1 MOH, 1 bridesmaid, and 2 bridesmen. My FH is having 4 groomsmen. My point is that I don't have a lot of close female friends either, but if you have close male friends you can ask them. Gender is irrelevant - if you are close to someone ask them whether it is a girl or a guy.

I have MOH and Bestman and 1 bridesaid and 1 groomsmen, It helps keep things drama free, at least for me.

I feel you...I have 5 guys and 1 girl in my wedding. Only 1 girl! I mean, they're all our friends so we had to split them up still. But, we're having them all walk solo so we don't have to worry about "pairs" (I actually asked for advice on this issue today). But don't just ask random people who aren't close to you to be in your wedding party. I had thought about asking more girls who I knew just to make up for the fact that most of my friends are guys. But then I realized it's my wedding and I don't have to impress anyone and if my best friends are guys, then so be it. Do what you want, don't let anyone else "judge" you for it

I don't have a maid of honor...I have a MAN of honor. My best friend since I was 2 has been a guy...doesn't make a hill of beans to me or my FH. It is all about you and the FH. Go for it!

I think as far as "rules" go there are none any more. Do what you want. I think it's great to have 1 on each side. You see it a lot at destination and smaller weddings.

Now if you're looking for "traditional", the general saying is 1 attendant for every 25 guests.

We are only having my sister-in-law and brother stand up with us. i have a lot more friends than my fh, and after thinking about it, we decided that we would rather have a smaller wedding party rather than have my fh ask a bunch of guys that he is not really close to. plus it really helped us stay within our small budget...less money paid out for attendant gifts and rehearsal dinner! i felt a little bad at first not having all of my siblings in my wedding, but who really wants to wear a stupid bridesmaid dress/tux and have to incur all of that cost when you could just wear what you want and celebrate the day with everyone you love. plus i am super close to my brother. don't get me wrong, i love my siblings and would do anything for them, but less people in wedding party = less drama! remember, this day is about celebrating the love between you and your fh, and you should do what feels right to you!

now, i have to go deal with my mother over the "adult reception" fall-out!

I only have one. my sister- maid of honor. My wedding is around 150 ppl.

Girly whatever makes you happy if it's one or none. That would be just fine

We are having a smaller wedding with about 65 guests. We have one MOH and one BM. That's it. There is no need to ask people just to bulk up the wedding party. One of each is fine. Plus after reading about everyone's bridesmaid drama I am happy to have a smaller less drama filled wedding party.

Y'all are so sweet! I really just needed to hear from somone (other than my Mother) that it would be okay lol...

I am only have one, my sister I think having more than that is just overwhelming, but that's just me! I am EXTREMELY comfortable with just having my sister. Whatever makes you happy, but let me just say, having one, is a lot less drama! HAHA! Good luck!

Wow I thought I was the only female "I love you Man" lol- I'm not having ANY bridesmaids or groomsmen, we've been together for 7 years and you tend to drift away from friends when you're in a close relationship. We're just having our siblings be the "un-wedding party". Don't forget this is YOUR day- do whatever you want whatever makes you happy!

@Clare C. I feel the same way. We've dated for over a decade and up until recently were pretty content being homebodies. The friends that we go out with on the weekends are just not people I'm close enough with to ask to be apart of the wedding. They are going to be INVITED lol, just not in it.
