    I plan to have 9 this including MOH. My FH will have total 6 this including best man. I honestly don't understand the big deal it being a difference. He wasn't sure about it at first, but when I explained who they were, he said ok. I mainly wanted to make sure with my in-laws because they offered to pay for rehearsal dinner.

    I only wanted a maid of honor and a best man. He wanted more so we are doing two and possibly adding a third and a junior bridesmaid with equal groomsmen

    I’m having 5 including the MOH. I will note that all 5 are chill and happy to be along for the ride. My cousin was a bridesmaid once in a wedding party of 5 and said it was miserable because several of them hated each other and caused drama. I’d say it’s less about the number and more about making sure you’re picking people who understand that they’re there to support you. And as far as extra cost goes for a larger wedding party, I’ll be doing the rehearsal dinner invites via a facebook event. Yup. Nothing formal. Very chill. Only those walking down the aisle are invited and they all know that we’re trying not to go into debt over the wedding. I also plan on getting them a necklace to wear for the wedding and a small shadow box to keep their bouquets in after, so gifts will be cheap as well.

    I have 7. More than I thought I would have but I want these ladies by my side. My groom has 5 Groomsmen. We were concerned about it looking weird being uneven but we are having the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen walk separate

    Zero! We’re having a pretty intimate event and chose to forego a bridal party, which we feel just adds more stress and drama to a day that should be relaxed and a fun time for all!

    I have 6 (4 bridesmaids 2 MOH). He will also have 6 groomsmen (5 groomsmen 1 best man) and we will have 1 jr bridesmaid and 1 jr groomsman so a total of 7 on each side. My FH originally wanted 8 but we compromised and made his other 2 friends ushers.

    He’s a lucky man! I have 11 bridesmaids lol and I honestly only wanted 7 but my future hubby insisted I should even out the number since he had 11 groomsmen and had some female cousins he really wanted to include in the wedding.

    I have 5 total including the MOH. My FH had a hard time reaching 5 groomsmen but he finally decided on who he would have as the final man.

    We have 8 on each side! Smiley smile A mix of bridesmaid and bridesmen. They're all great friends and have earned the right to be up there.

    I have 5 total. I don’t have very many close friends so two of them are family members (my aunt and little sister) to make up for the amount of groomsmen my fiancé has. Lol
