I would Love to have 12 girls...they are all my closest friends and family...but I'm thinking about the gift buying factor...is that selfish? It's just that, I would want to give them nice gifts, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to afford it!! What to do..

Re: Bridal Party...
you have to factor in everything. I dont blame you! I had 7 and that was $$$. I had to give up on certin gifts that I wanted for them just bc i needed 7 of each. Well 8 bc i wanted 1 for me too!! LOL
Def look over the list. See if theres any you can rule out. If not then do what you gotta do!!

I am having 5 girls, I could have easily had 10 but I just can't afford it. I am including some people that I could'nt have in the BP in the wedding by having them do readings at the church. I am also making a point to have the photographer take a picture of me with them.

It is absolutely not selfish.
You have to factor in money, since the more people you have the more money you will be shelling out.

Re: Bridal Party...
in addition to the gifts, you have to think about flowers for more girls is more money and more people at the rehearsal dinner if you have one is also more money.
it's not selfish, it's responsible for you to consider these factors.

I think 12 girls is A LOT! You have to think about pictures too because the photographer is going to have to take them from far away in order to fit everyone. Plus it become a bigger problem if you want to have an even number of guys. Also the limo factor- the bigger the bridal party the more you will need.
I was in a wedding with 8 girls and it was a huge pain for the bride to round up everyone at the reception to take pictures. The bachelorette party was around nightmare!
I know that you are close to everyone but I think it's impractical. JMO HTH

It's not selfish. It costs more for gifts, limo, and flowers.
I could've had a larger BP but, I limited it to 5 girls. I felt it was more intimate and it was easier to coordinate. I couldn't imagine trying to coordinate 12 girls!!!

I am having 5, could've had more but too much money. Same thought. It's not selfish, its being realistic

12 is alot. Plus its gets tooo crazy with a big BP. BUt its understandable about the gift factor, its ok to cut down
