Am I crazy to add more people to the bridal party?

While at my soon to be sister in law's wedding last month, I got to know my fiance's two small cousins who were the flower girls in that wedding. They took a liking to me and now want to be flower girls in our wedding. I was not planning on having kids in the wedding at all but they are so sweet and adorable I feel bad saying no. I would probably also have to include a ring bearer into the mix b/c his other cousin has a little boy that was in his sister's wedding with the little girls. I already have 9 bm and 8 gm so this would add three extra people to the party. Is this too much? If I don't have the little girls in the wedding party they won't be able to come b/c I don't want to invite kids to the wedding (b/c my little cousins are terrors and if I invite kids they will come). Sorry if this sounds confusing, I just don't really know what to do. I don't want to hurt their feelings by not including them. My fiance says he doesn't care either way so he's no help.

We had a very large bridal party!

We wanted to include everyone very close to us, and we have large families.

I say do it if you want!. We didn't invite any children to the wedding either, except for the ones in the bridal party, and I am so happy that we did, they were adorable!

Well considering you weren't planning on inviting children, and you do already have a large BP, I would say no. It's really your decision, but if you have them in the BP then you would have to invite other children, or risk insulting your own family.
