    I had 6! I would say 4-6 is the perfect number, no more than that.

    I'm going to have 3: my maid of honor + another friend, and one of my sisters. Originally, I didn't want to choose between my two sisters for my maid of honor, but my other sister ended up turning down my bridesmaid proposal completely...

    I have 3 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, and a ManOH. FH has 2 groomsman and 1 best man. Honestly, its the personalities that feel like it's so much. I kept mine to just family and long time friends to make life simple. IDK how some of you do it with big parties! more power to you because I am stressed!

    I have 9 on my side (8 girls and my best guy friend who will be the flower man) and the groom has 8. It is a lot but it’s hard narrowing it down. Especially with the girls because peoples feelings get hurt

    I have 6 I would perfer 7 but my Fiance' thinks thats too many. I just don't like the number 6. I have 2 friends that want to be bridesmaids but I dont want the wedding to be too big either. A friend of mine had 10 bridesmaids her wedding took forever but it was pretty.

    I’m thinking 6, but may increase to 9. I feel guilty since I have 2 I’m in their wedding, 2 sisters, 3 are close friends from childhood and my fiancé sister and daughter.

    I have 6 bridesmaids and 2 bridesmen. My fiancé has a lot of friends, so the number was really based off of his friends. He's rarely named less than 10 throughout our 9 years together, so getting him down to 8 was a big deal. I played around with the number a few times for myself because I have 2 older sisters, neither of which cared to be in the party but would be if I asked. Finance also has 2 sisters that I'm close with that were easy to put in and out as needed based on which friends I picked.

    Yes I have a small party my fiance's needs 1 more person so far we only 2 maids of honors and 2 bridesmaids 1 bestman and he had a question mark for another. So our are small but it still can be a headache with so many opinions. But I once it's all narrowed down I can't wait to marry him ❤❤

    Hi, I was going to have 5 and FH said that was to many but since one of my 5 bridesmaid I choose hasn’t been responding or showing up to help out i dropped her as a bridesmaid. So now we have 4 each and my FH is so much happier with that because he didn’t want to choose two between two other friends.

    I have 4 bridesmaids plus my M.O.H. If it were solely up to me I'd have more but my fiance doesnt have a huge circle and I didn't want to make our sides off balance.

    I'm having 8 bridesmaids. My fiance has 8 groomsmen, so it all evenly matches up.

    The 8 girls are the ones who I want standing beside me, and standing with me. Also I always wanted an even number of bridesmaids. So if they're gonna drop out, let them do it in twos lol.

    8 bridesmaids + the maid of honor. I was a little hesitant with the number at the very beginning. But the truth was we had friends that we couldn’t NOT include. Your number is YOUR NUMBER. You choose your bridesmaids and groomsmen because you want them to share that special moment with you!!
