    Over. We’ve got Maid if honor, 2 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids on my side, the best man, 1 groomsman, 1 grooms-woman, and 2 junior groomsmen on his side. Plus 2 ring beaters and a flower girl. I had a hard time not including all the special children in our lives

    Under, we have 6. 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen. No maid of honor or best man. It was too hard to choose.

    I've heard it's hard choosing bridesmaids and groomsmen, so I can't imagine how tough it is to pick someone as the MOH or best man!
