Wedding party

I think it’s definitely up to you and the fiancé! However, in my opinion, more than 3 on each side is quite distracting and takes away from the main couple! 🤍

Is 6 on each side way too many? I have my SIL, MOH, cousins, and 1 friend. My fiancé has my 3 brothers, best man, and 1 friend

2 friends*

I don't think I've ever heard someone comment negatively about how many people are in a bridal party - maybe joking about how they don't even know that many people but that's it haha. As long as they all have a place to stand (and they aren't scrunched up next to each other trying to breathe), I don't think you have to worry at all about it being distracting. I've been in weddings where there have been 6, and I didn't even think about it. They just walked down and stood on the side and then the bride comes out and all eyes are on the couple.

If those people mean a lot to you, you should have them with you (:

You can have a wedding party as big or as small as you want! But some things to consider are: that is 12 gifts you will need to buy, as many as 24 people to feed at the rehearsal dinner (wedding party + guests), and 12 opinions/schedules to coordinate. If that doesn't sound like it's out of your budget and you're up for the challenge, then by all means go for it!

This is a personal decision. Keep in mind that more bridal party members means more to coordinate, more wedding guests, more rehearsal dinner guests, more thank you gifts, and sometimes more drama.

View Quoted Comment I gree with this! We just had a MOH and BM and it was the best decision ever!

It's completely your choice on how many people you want. I think the wedding I attended which had the most people in a wedding party was 9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen, 2 flower girls.

View Quoted Comment That sounds like so much fun! Thank you minimalist bride ❤️

Totally up to you. I think having more than 3 is just way too much work. It takes away the fun of planning a wedding. We wanted a small intimate wedding & having a big wedding party would take away from our vision.

I once watched an episode of Four Weddings where the bridal party was close to 30 people. I think 6 on each side is fine! We have 5 groomsmen (and a best man) and 4 bridesmaids (and a MOH)

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I watch four weddings too haha

Its completely up to you. Our bridal party for our big wedding is 6 on my side, 8 on my husbands side, 3 ring bearers and a flower girl.

It's up to you! There isn't a set number on how many people you can have in your bridal party! I'm from the south, so many bridal parties have upwards to 11 people on EACH side haha😅.

Like Caytlyn mentioned, it's always good to remember that the more people you have, the more chance there is for drama to occur or schedules to not match up! More people just means more of everything as far as planning goes for you bridal party, but if you want a lot of people in it, then go for it! There's nothing wrong with that!

This is totally personal preference. We each had 3 (so 6 total) and that was a perfect number for us. In my opinion, when people have 8+ wedding party members on each side, it becomes obnoxious. I think the perfect number is 3-5. Again, this is just my opinion. You can do whatever you want!

I was part of a 9 people one and we all gotready in one hotel room!

It's should not be that many people at bridal party

I have 7 on each side and I feel like I have to many opinions and dates and just crazyness.
