    Big! 7 bridesmaids 1 jr. Bridesmaid 7 groomsmen 1 usher 2 flower girls...total guests: 250. We both have large families so we wouldn't have been able to make it small!

    I think we are having a small wedding compared to average weddings. We are inviting 100 guests but thinking we will end up with closer to 75. We have 6 bm's and 5 gm. I'm also having junior bridesmaids just to make sure my nieces feel included in the wedding.

    I'd say medium. We are at about 100 so to me that is not small.

    I think it is somewhere in-between. The guest list is about 100, there is 2 best men, 2 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, 1 maid of honor, 1 matron of honor, 2 jr bridesmaids, 2 bridesmaids, and 1 flower girl. It is a blended family with older children, so we wanted an opportunity to include as many of them that want to participate in our big day.

    I want to say big because it's big for me. We have a guest list of 120. We're looking to do a vintage theme with comic books.
