    That's nice! I can't imagine having that many either! I think the most I would have is three bridesmaids, including the MOH

    Over - our wedding party number is most likely going to be 11 (FH hasn't asked his guys yet, so I can't say for sure yet). 6 ladies, 5 guys.

    3 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids. We also have a flower girl, but no ring bearer (best man's job).

    Under. So far it's just 4. I don't have anyone to give me away, so not even that. We may see if one of his grandsons can be ring bearer, but we don't know any little girls to be flower girl
