Re: Is 11 too many people for a bridal party?

I've heard that the number depends upon how many guests you're having. If you're having a really small wedding (less than 125), it might be too many. But I personally don't think that's a lot.

Re: Is 11 too many people for a bridal party?

My brother & Fsil are having 18!

With them the BP makes 20.

ETA: 'the BP breakdown'

1MOH (me)
8BM
1Best Man(dh)
8GM
and the bride and groom. The party consists of all 'family'. Her cousins and our cousins. They did not include friends because they just wanted to stick with family and if friends were included the BP would be like 35 LOL!

Re: Is 11 too many people for a bridal party?

That's not a lot at all. We had 14 total - 6 guys, 6 girls, 2 children. Since the parents stand under the Chuppah at a Jewish wedding, there were also 4 parents up there, plus us!

I've seen weddings where there are 11 guys and 11 girls!
