Would you rather have no wedding party or a giant wedding party?

    I think no wedding party. I don't want people involved that I'm not really that close to. We are only have 1 bridesmaid, 1 MOH, 1 Best Man, and 1 groomsman, so we are having a small bridal party with those that are closest to us.

    I would rather have NO wedding party ! We have a big family altogether and after awhile it’s ridiculous to see 20+ people in a wedding party..
    Since our family is big, we’re cosbidering maybe 2 on my side 2 on his side our nieces as flower girls and nephews as ring beaers.
    Still considering skipping the wedding party altogether.
    Is anyone here skipping it?

    No wedding party. I'm not a fan of having a huge wedding party.

    If it’s anywhere that big of a wedding party in the picture NO THANK YOU, it’s far too many people to keep track of and it’s more stress added on top of the rest of wedding stress!!!

    No wedding party, and we didn't, unless you count our cute puppy.

    I guess no wedding party, but if I can negotiate I would like to have 1 MOH and 1 BM

    I would way rather have a giant wedding party than no one. Maybe it's the Southerner in me (where 6 is the average amount of attendants I'm used to seeing), but I can't imagine not having anyone by my side at my wedding. Besides, I have a lot of friends who've had a big influence over my relationship--they're a part of it at this point and deserve to be up there.

    I'd rather have NO wedding party. I LOVE my girls, but keeping track of and trying to plan with 6 girls can be difficult. I would never want to try it with more. lol

    We're having no wedding party. We might have my niece and nephew be flower girl/ring bearer, but we will not be having any bridesmaids or groomsmen, including maid of honor or best man. But our wedding is also very small, and intimate, so in a way, every one is part of our wedding party.

    I had 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, that felt large to me! So I'd say the more the merrier. However, I don't know that I'd want to do much more than what I had. The pros to a large bridal party are the bachelor/bachelorette party is more and things are more cost effective.

    No wedding party. I only have 2 really close friends, so I’d have to ask people I’m not as close with just to get enough people for a large wedding party.

    Definitely no wedding party. That large of a group would make it so hard to coordinate and do anything.

    I only have 1 person to stand next to me.. That would be my maid of honor.. I would love my sisters to stand next me making it a total of 3 but I have no idea if they'd even show up! I don't have the best relationship with my family. Im already worrying about my mom. I can't have the drama of a wedding party. If my MOH can't show up I will cry for a few days!
