Wedding is growing

Ok, so I'm in a dilemma. Originally we were going to do a small wedding with immediate family, now my FH wants to do a big one. I don't mind the big wedding however I don't want a big wedding party. We were just going to have a MOH and BM but I really don't want anymore. Is it weird to have a large wedding reception (350 people) without a wedding party? My wedding is in April so to put together a bridal party with getting dresses and such may be tight.

    That's great! Isn't it nice when we can ask for other people's perspectives on a question that's plaguing us? All the best with your arrangements. (P.S. I think smaller is better anyway.)

    Thanks Sonja! After discussion we are going to go smaller (for an Italian wedding) at 180 people so I get to keep my smaller wedding party!! Smiley laugh

    Wow! You're inviting 350 guests? That's a huge wedding. Now back to your question; You can do whatever you like for your wedding but with a guest list like that, I think you need to balance it with a bridal party of the same magnitude. You've decided to do it big, so go all the way. I would suggest that you at least include both your sisters in the wedding party.

    Thanks! The shower would be my mom, my Sister and my MOH who is also my sister. It would actually be the same amount of people helping as when my sister got married lol

    I don't think it's weird for that large a party specifically since MOH duties don't really change depending on the size.
    Who's doing your showers though? Even if you don't invite every single woman invited, that's still a lot of people! It might be a lot for your MOH to do on her own. I was going to only have a MOH as well until my mom pointed that out to me.
