    I am having six bridesmaids and a flower girl. So that will be 7! We are having six groomsmen as well. Still deciding if bridesmaids will wear the same color dress or different colors.

    As it stands right now I think we have 6. F.h can't decide on groomsmen or best man. He was thinking his brother to be the best man but he keeps rethinking it. I have one matron of honor, one maid of honor and three jr. Bridesmaids.

    Over, for sure. I have 8 on my side (2 men of honor, 1 matron of honor, 1 bridesman, and 4 bridesmaids) and FH has 8 on his side. We also have 1 ring bearer, 1 flower girl, and 2 "banner men".

    12 for us (6 on each side). I never thought that I have so many bridesmaids. FH was adamant that I could only have girls and he would only have boys which made it difficult because most of my friends are guys and I have one brother. But he has three brothers and I got close to their wives. I think it will be pretty cool that most of our bridal party are couples. We actually have an entire family in our bridal party since two of our best friends are married and their kids are going to be our junior bridesmaid and groomsman. Im so excited! Itll make for great pictures for them too.

    Under. 2? Just the bride and groom. No bridesmaids, no groomsmen. Seems a little boring compared to others on here!
