Hi everyone, my fiancé and I have pretty much decided to have 7 bridesmaids, and 7 groomsmen. I felt totally fine with this, but now my mom and sister have me second guessing myself and I need some advice...
Right now, my bridal party includes my younger sister as maid of honor. This wasn’t necessarily my first choice, but my mom sort of guilted/pushed me into this as my sister had cancer about 4 years ago. My mom said to me “Sometimes I worry she could get sick again, I would hate for you to have regrets.” She has been in remission for about 3 years, and I’m fine with my choice to make her MOH now, but that really sucked hearing and made me feel awful. I also have my two older sisters, my future sister in law, and 3 friends as bridesmaids.
Well, last night I got a text from my younger sister saying “Mom thinks you shouldn’t have that many bridesmaids. She thinks it’s weird to have half the guests be bridesmaids.” Now I’m second guessing myself. I haven’t told all the bridesmaids yet so there is still time to change it, but should I? Is 7 really too many? We are having 125 guests so obviously she was exaggerating but I just don’t know what to do. Also if anyone has additional advice on how to deal with the impending comments and drama from my mom during this planning process I’d appreciate it!
