Hey guys!! So my fiancée and I are very private people and we don’t socialize with a lot of people. Is it okay to have 1 person to stand up with us? On both bride and grooms side? Or do we need more?

You only need two people to be witness (which parents can also be witness so you don’t even need anyone in your bridal party) so it’s really however many people you want

I believe you need two people to be a witness to your wedding and sign the paperwork! you don't need them to stand beside you during the ceremony.
my uncle and his wifey did the whole ceremony alone and when it was time to sign paperwork they had two people from the crowd come up and sign. (they were pre-picked obviously)

Hi, to my mind you'd better invite a couple or a bit more people. But, everything depends on what relations you have with your friend. If you think it would be comfortable for him to stand with you - it is okay.
But try to imagine your company with three people only and what you will do. I hope you'll find the right decision.

The bridal party size can have a few factors influencing it. Things like venue and guest list size. Etc... However it ultimately is that the soon to be newly weds feel most comfortable with.

You as the couple decide on how many ever you want to stand with you at the altar. 1 each side works, then go for it. Its your day and your decision without a question.
We had decided to just go simple as well and have 2 each side (1 Best Man and 1 Maid of Honour).

The way I look at it, your way, your decision!
Don't worry about what other people say! As long as you and your FH are happy thats all that matters

Agree with all the other ladies!

You can have none, you can have 10 in your bridal party! It’s up to you and what you want.

Have as many as you want! There is no where that says has to be a certain number.

We're only having one each. My sister is my MOH and his childhood friend is his best man. Do what feels right for you.

Yep! What ever you want is fine! I'm seeing more and more people with smaller bridal parties for a number of reasons! Some don't have any at all (just 2 designated people to sign as witnesses)

It's whatever you want!
If you are worried about how it will look - perhaps you could get them to be the officiant and get ordained online?
Otherwise I don't see a problem with it! You could even have them switch sides when the rings are given to you by him/her. Just keep in mind I believe you need to have 2 witness' for the signing of papers as well as the officiant.
