Not enough people?

Your bridal party is whoever you want it to be! There aren't any special rules. It should be whomever you feel the closest to and feel that they should take a special part in your day. These days, people are beginning to not even worry if sides are uneven. It's all about what you want and who you choose.

I think the larger the wedding party the tackier. I have 4 sisters, and a few really good girlfriends I've known since elementary school. I will only be using my two younger unmarried sisters to be part of the wedding. The largest bridal party I have ever seen in person was of 4. And almost every wedding in my family is black-tie. So it's very formal and elegant.

Stick to the MOH and best man if you'd like. Just let the rest of them, know that they mean a lot to you, but to keep things even you'd like to do it this way. Have a job for your brother and step-sister though!

Good Luck!

I was in a wedding were the bride only had a Maid of Honor and me as a Brides Maid. She had a very small wedding, but it was beautiful. I happen to agree with the other comments, smaller is better. My fiance and I are having three people on each side and I would have been fine with having just two on each side. It is your wedding and it'll be beautiful no matter if you have just a BM and MOH or if you also add a GM and BM. I think the people you have mentioned for the BM, MOH, GM, and BM are good choices and they will always be in your guys' life. Good luck!

I do weddings in Hawaii all the time with just the couple... I usually invite the limo driver to take pictures and my husband to play an acoustic instrument. I believe your wedding is how you want it. I think you may be feeling that you wished you had more friends, friends show up at differnt times in our lives, sometimes too many to keep up with and sometimes only a few. You have the perfect amount of people for now and later you may have too many. The most important thing to remember is to have fun and enjoy your wedding day, Some people get married with just the bridal party and no guests, some with just themselves and strangers as witnesses, some invite everyone they and their family has ever met. It's all what you want to do because it is your day!!! Enjoy and Have Fun...

Congratulations!

There are no set rules on how many attendants a wedding party should have. It will not look tacky to have the amount that you do. Your wedding will be intimate with those that are closet to you standing by you and your fiance's side. Do not feel that you must conform to a certain standard or rule.

Hi ya, I am in the same position as you. I have one MOH one Bridesmaid (my soon to be sister in law) a JR. Bridesmaid (the daughter to my bridesmaid) and on my fiance side there is his two brothers and our two sons, and my soon to be step daughter is my flower girl. I nice small wedding party. I agree with another post you had when the bridal party is huge it starts looking like a prom. Enjoy your day to the max and have it the way you want. :-)

Hi,

I always thought only one or two [brides]maids[of honor] and bestmen/groomsmen looked classier.

One person on each side it more then enough. Going over board on inviting people to stand up can get way out of hand. Plus you only want people that are close to you to share in your big day.

I am only having two people on each side. We didn't want anything big and this seems to work out great. This also means that you will not have to coordinate as many people to do what you want on your big day. Sometime having a bunch of people up there with you makes it look too crowded, of course that is depending on the location. I do not think anyone will think that you do not have any friends just that you chose to keep it intimate and close when you decided who you wanted to stand up with you. Hope this helps.

A small wedding party does not look tacky at all. The people in your wedding party are the ones that are closest to you, whether it's 1 or 10, it only matters who is important to you!

I think a small wedding party is good, you don't want to buy a lot of things for a bunch of people and also it doesn't make your wedding look cluttered. Also consider if he has brothers and sisters, these are the people you will be around on holidays. But I think small is simple and elegant.

Congratulations...

I do wedding's of 50 or less...one person on each side of you is just fine. You could have the groom waiting for you with the officiant and no others...anything goes...a small wedding keeps your day intimate and it will give the guess something to remember..

Best of luck

When my cousin got married he had one best man and the bride had one maid of honor and that was it! They each had one person stand up. Besides, it's not a competetion of who has the most friends. You don't want to ask someone simply to fill an empty space and then regret it cuz then you can't take it back. My fiance and I are having four people each stand up. In my experiences with other peoples' weddings, the more people you have the more likely drama ensues.

We don't have very many friend either! I'm actually skipping the whole bridesmaids and groomsmen thing all together!! But i'm sure you'll be fine no point in making it bigger than it has to be just the important people in your life small and personal, is what it should be anyway.

You know if your anything like us we work all the time so we don't have many friends either or family.

So make your very good friends feel important and have fun with it.

We got married and I had the same debate and was wanting a wedding and party and didn't want to dissapoint my close friends.

You know We decided to have a very private and quite ceremony with just our best man maid of honor and us and then we all went to a nice resturant and then went dancing.

It was great!!!! Better than ever spending way to much money and going into debt. My maid of honor said she hadn't had that much fun since we were teenagers.. So you set the pace and the rest will follow. Remember it is your day and they will make it special and enjoy it also .. Congratulations and many great years to the two of you.

I've done MANY weddings where there are just Maid/Matron of Honor and the Best Man as attendants. No one thinks twice about it.

I've also done weddings where there were 12 or more bridesmaids, each matched with a groomsman, etc., and I never heard anyone say, "Wow... they must have a lot of friends!"

Most of the time, the comment was about how much it cost the bridal party to buy the dresses!

So relax! It's YOUR wedding. Do what you want and enjoy!

It is important to have people that you want with you. Do not worry about it looking "tacky". Just don't add extra people that you don't want up there. Also, I just wanted to tell you that I am offering to DJ at two weddings this year. So if you don't already have a DJ, it might be worth your time to give me a call at 949-892-7706. Or visit me online at www.lakeforestdj.com

How about none at all. We are not doing the big blow out. Close friends and family only. He will meet me at the begging of the aisle and we will walk down together. Just him, me and the preacher. Everyone else will be sitted.
