    Yes! I will have 5 beautiful bridesmaids next to me, and my fiancé will have at least 3 “groomspeople” - so far he’s chosen his best man, and one “groomsmaid”

    Yupp... I wanted even numbers so bad... but it was never going to happen... haha. I moved as a kid, so I have 1 really close girl friend, and then my sisters. My FH lived in the same city for his whole life, and he loves his friends like brothers. I have 3 bridesmaids (supposed to be 4 but friend can't come back from school in England), my FH has 7 groomsmen.

    Yes. We're having a tiny wedding party (my sister and his two best friends), but it's definitely enough for us.

    Yay! We kept it under 5 per side which I believe is ideal.

    We’re doing a really small wedding party. My sister will be my MOH and my FHs brother will be his best man.

    My fiancé and I said “nay.” We don’t want the extra expense or stress, especially considering we're only inviting our closest family and friends to the wedding to begin with.

    Yes to a wedding party. After careful thought, I have kept my party as family only. I know some of my friends will complain or be hurt by the decision but it’s not their day.

    We're having a maid of honour and a best man, but that's it. Too many hurt feelings involved in the selection process of our friends and families' parties.
