No bridesmaids, or groomsmen, just maid of honor and best man?

Hi everyone! Finding a group of bridesmaids and groomsmen has been the most stressful part of wedding planning at the moment. My FH has many many possible groomsmen but the only person I know I want in my bridal party is my best friend and MOH. We came to the conclusion that we are just going to have my MOH and his best man in the wedding, no other bridesmaids and no groomsmen. It's very unconventional I know, so I just wanted to see if anyone has done the same and how did it go for you? Did you like having that one person or would you have gone back and added more people to your bridal party? I just want to know if we're making a good decision or not!

    It's hardly unconventional, there's nothing special about having a small wedding party other than you truly are with your very nearest and dearest.

    We are not even having that. My mom and his brother will be our witnesses, but they don't have to buy any special outfits or feel pressured to host parties or anything for us. We are having my niece and his grandkids as our 2 FG and RB but that's just more for fun than anything. We'll buy their outfits, zero expectations there. It's been great so far.

    Having just a best man and maid of honor is actually very traditional, if you go back far enough. This is what my grandparents had. And, from everything I've seen about weddings, and have read on Wedding Wire, you are making an excellent choice. You will save money, you will save stress and extra work, and you will save lots of possible bridesmaid drama. Great choice!

    We are not having a typical bridal party. We are having our 3 girls be princesses, my son walk me down the aisle, and my grandma and grandpa as flower girl and ring bearer for kicks and giggles.
