How many ppl do u think is the norm for a briday party....FH threw out like 9 guys that he wants to have in the party....which means its gunna be 9 guys 9 girls a flower girl ring bearer and my brother as a jr groomsman
thats 21 ppl in our bridal party and its not like we are getting married at a nice big church ....we are getting married at our RH so i kinda felt like its to much and there isnt gunna be enough room in the ceremony for everyone to stand...we got into an argument about it last night and he thinks that its not to many

Re: how many ppl in bridal party?
We have 4 girls & 4 guys (including 1 MOH & 1 BM), plus 2 FG's.
I think it's just a personal preferance, some have no bridal party where others have it on a smaller side, then I have seen some with 20 + members.
Everyone is different. It's completely up to you! You should do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Re: how many ppl in bridal party?
I mean it's hard to say, it all depends on your situation. It's touchy because some ppl take it really personal.
When my FH and I first put a list together I automatically put all of his friends on the list. He still has 7 close friends from HS (2 of which just had him in their wedding party), as well as his own brother (BM), and my brother, so then I was trying to figure out who I would have, I have a lot of gf's and I didn't want to leave anyone out either. So our first list came out to 9 & 9. Well, my FH saw this and was like absolutely not! He called it a circus and worried about everyone fitting into the limo. I really didn't mind cutting down my list b/c I felt like I was just adding girls in to match up with his 9. What we ended up doing was just having 2 family members and 2 of our closest friends. My MOH is my cousin, and I'm also having my SIL, then my 2 closest friends. He's having his brother (BM), my brother, and his 2 closest friends. There is a slight problem with this being that he's not having one of the guys who had him in his, so we're hoping he's not offended.
I know this is just my situation, and it obviously would not work for everyone, but we felt it was fair. We also figured that now after the ceremony at my church we can all fit into one limo (that includes us going with them, again personal preference, to save some costs on an extra vehicle), and it would be really nice, it makes the people closest to you feel sort of honored to be chosen, as opposed to having everyone you know in it.
I'm not against big wedding parties, this just worked for us. I know 2 different couples who had 13 & 13, as well as fg's and rb's. Just thought I'd share what I did, maybe it will help your decision.
Good luck, I sympathize, it's a hard decision! Try not to fight too much about it :)

Re: how many ppl in bridal party?
To me that's a huge bridal party. I'm have 2 Maid of honor's and 3 Bridesmaids. FH is having 1 Best Man and 4 Groomsmen. Then there is our Flower Girl and Ring Bearer.
For my friend's wedding, she has more bridesmaids than groomsmen, so I don't know how that will work.

i have 7 girls fh is having 5 - 7 guys (he still wont give me a count lol), 1 rb, 1 fg
Same here 7 on each side! I was worried about this because I thought it may look uneven in pics. We originally settled at 6 but we both had one more person we each wanted so we decided it was more important to have all the ppl we care about and leave the organizing of pictures to the photog.
