Number of people in the bridal party?

Maria, on July 26, 2021 at 11:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 13
My fiancé and I are trying to decide how many people we want to have in our bridal party. We are thinking about having two people on each side (so a maid of honor and one bridesmaid, and a best man and one groomsman).



Is that a strange number for a bridal party?

    Have however many you want! No number is strange. We are only having one person each!

    Why would that be weird? You should choose whoever you want! 😊 You don’t even have to each choose the same number.

    No number is strange it’s all about personal preference. Have 2 or 20 it’s your choice.

    Glad to hear more people out there just doing two! I think that's what we'll stick with.

    I’ve see wedding parties where each side has like 6-12 people and i can’t even imagine having to manage that many people making sure they get all their attire and what not, and the gifts! If you spend 75-100$ per person - that’s a lot. I mean if you can afford it more power to you - less people, less drama (hopefully)

    Bridal parties can be any size. We only had 1 each and I see some weddings that have very large numbers. It’s whatever you want.

    It's definitely up to you! I personally would have loved having a smaller wedding party, with only 3 each, we are at 6 each instead.

    Not strange at all. We only had 3 a piece. I have seen weddings with no bridal parties or just 1 person on each side. It is entirely up to you.

    The number of people in your bridal party is entirely up to you. If you just want two, great! We're having four.
