Mostly family. My brother, my brothers wife, my fiances brother and sister, his sisters fiance. My cousins, 2 of of his friends and 2 of my friends
FH’s best man is his best friend since middle school, his brother is a groomsman (mostly to placate his mom, they aren’t close). My MOH is my BFF of almost 20 years, another long time friend is my bridesmaid. No flower girl or ring bearer. MOH’s son deemed himself “too old” to be the ring bearer as that’s a baby job and he’s big now (he’s 10).

We are doing no wedding party. It's a small wedding and they are all my very close friends, so didn't want to choose. Also, it's easier this way
I wanted more bridesmaids but my FH wanted a smaller wedding party. I’m still sad I wasn’t able to ask some of my dearest friends. I have my niece, sister, and best friend. My FH has his nephew and 2 best friends.
My MOH is my best friend, then my bridesmaids are my other best friends and sister-in-law to be. My flower girls are my daughter, my niece and my Junior Bridesmaid is my cousin. My fiances best man is his best friend, followed by his other good friends and my brother as groomsmen.
But of both, but my sister is close to getting kicked out 🤷🏻♀️

Both. 2 of my sisters are co-MOHs and my 3rd sister is a bridesmaid (mostly bc she lives in Massachusetts and the rest of us are in Virginia, but shes going to give the speech at the reception instead of my MOHs) and then a friend is my 2nd bridesmaid. His brother is his Best Man and has 3 friends as groomsmen. And my twin nephews are going to be our ring bearers.
For my bridal party family and those girlfriends that have been my "day 1" and always there for me. The groomsmen are made up mostly of his close friends who are like family to him and his one brother.
More family. We each had our best friend as MOH and BM. Then my two SILs and my cousin were bridesmaids, and his two brother and my brother were groomsmen. We each had a few more friends we would have liked to include, but the way we did it made the decision easy and didn't make anyone in particular feel left out. Drama free for sure! We honored close, extra supportive friends in other ways. One of my friends did a reading and one of his played a song at the ceremony, so we invited them to the rehearsal dinner and got to celebrate in a more intimate setting. Another of my friends who is super crafty and helped me a lot was also invited.
I think I will have family only (SIL, God Sisters (2), and cousin). I am scared to add my high school friend because we haven't talked much (but still love each other).
On my end it’s all friends. On my FH side it’s family. All of the groomsmen are his brothers except for the groomswoman and his best man will be his oldest son. Ring bearer is our youngest sons and flower girl is our daughter.
