Good morning ladies! Hope everyone has President's day off and is enjoying the day.

Let's talk about our bridal parties. How big is your party, who's in it?

I wanted to keep ours small. I would've been content with just having my sister as the MOH and his best man, but he wanted a few more people. So, my bridal party is:

MOH- sister
BM - my 2 best friends
Flower Girls - my 2 nieces, they will be almost 5 and 2 1/2 at the wedding, and his niece who will be 4 1/2 at the wedding.

His party:

Best Man: best friend
GM's brother and brother-in-law

We have no ring bearer. I would love for my dog to have that job, but we don't think we can really work it out for her to be there :(

We have a giant bridal party! No flower girl or ring bearer as we have no kids that are a good age (either too young or bordering on teenagers lol). As for our bms and gm,

-On my side: 8 ladies
Matron of honor: my cousin
-my brother's gf who I've been so close with since they started dating shortly after FH and I started dating.
-2 ladies I've been friends with since grammar school
-1 former college roomie
-3 sorority sisters

On his side: 7 guys
- best man is his best friend
- his two brothers
- my two brothers
- two more of his close friends

It's going to be quite the party bus!!

We have 5 on each side.

My sister MOH
My cousin
3 best friends since we were 12

His best friend BM
His 2 cousins
My cousin
His long time friend

And I'm using the kids that I watch for ring bearers

Our parties are huge! We have 6 on his side and 7 on mine.

My best friend and former college roommate is my MOH
Three girls I have known since high school, one for 7 years, and two I met through grad school three and four years ago

On his side his brother and best friend are his best men, one he has known since elementary school, one since high school, one through me (my MOH's boyfriend) and known for 6 years, and one former college roommate.

We aren't having flower girls or a ring bearer. My MOH is walking me down the aisle. :)

We have small.

MoH (friend)
BM (SIL)
Jr BM (his daughter)

Best Man (friend)
GM (friend and my brother)
Jr. GM (his son)

Mine is my 3 sisters, 2 besties, and my BFF since 9th grade as MOH.

Can you even with the fact that FH hasn't picked his yet???? I can't deal with him lol.

Our bridal party is a little bit bigger than I would have wanted but I everyone is someone that's been a part of my life for a substantial amount of time that I couldn't pick between them.

MOH: My cousin. We're three years apart and she's basically like a sister to me. We grew up and did everything together - my actual sister is way older.

BM: My sister, FSIL, two of my friends from pre-school, my neighbor that I've known forever and two girls that I have been friends with since 2001. We met at work where I used to lifeguard and have been incredibly close ever since.

BM: - FH cousin

GM: My brother and FH's four closest friends that he's known forever.

Ours is a little out of hand, but there was really no way around it since I'm from such a big family.

My side 11 ladies
- My 4 sisters
- 2 of my best friends
- FH's sister
- 4 of my closest cousins

His side has 8:
- 6 are his closest friends
- good friend from college
- his sister's FH

I have been in some big bridal parties before where people argued and others just didn't do anything so I knew I wanted to keep mine small...I also knew if I didn't I would wind up with 15 bridesmaids lol

So we have 6 girls and 5 guys.
-4 of my Friends since elementary school
-my FH sister
-my sister as MOH

-my FH's 4 best friends
-my brother

2016 bride crashing!

We're keeping it small. If FH had it his way he'd have an infinite number of groomsmen. We're sticking to 4 on each side.

My side:
MOH my BFF since birth
My 2 sisters
FSIL

His side:
BM is FH's brother
3 groomsmen, his best friends

My MOH's sisters are the same ages as my sisters and we all grew up together so I could add them but just feel it would be way too much. As far as flower girl/ring bearer I would really love if the kids I nanny could be in our wedding. The girl will be just 3 and the boy will be 7. The only problem is the boy has autism and I just don't know if he'd be able to handle it. We'll have to see when it gets closer.

I wanted a small party. I wanted it to be my 2 fsils and then FHA best friend and my brother, but fh felt obligated to add his cousins husband since he was the best man.... Not too happy about it, I don't really trust the guy, but it wasn't worth the fight. So now:

MOH: good friend from grad school
BMs: 2 FSILs

Bestman:FHs best friend
Groomsmen: my brother and fh's cousin-in-law

We are also going to have chuppah holders so we can incorporate more people in our ceremony.

Our wedding party is small. We wanted to make sure everyone who was standing up at our ceremony with us was going to support our marriage long term. The bridal party includes:

Maid of Honor - my sister
Bridesmaid - FH's sister
Best Men - FH's brother, FH's best friend
Ring Bearer - our nephew

ours is pretty big!

I have 8 girls and he has 6 guys

MOH- my sister
Best Man- his best friend

bridesmaids- my 3 friends, my cousin, my SIL, and my two FSIL

groomsmen- my brother and 4 friends

no flower girls or ring bearers

Our bridal party I guess is medium size – 4 people on each side 2 flower girls and a ring bearer.

On my side I have a little of everything:

My Best Man: My brother
My Maid of Honor: Bestie since 8th grade
My Matron of Honor: Who I call my P.I.C (Partner in crime) Co-worker turned best bud who ultimately introduced me to my FW
Bridesmaid: My ride-or-die friend who used to date an old friend of mine.

Her side:

Maid of Honor: Her High School bestie
Bridesmaids: Another HS bestie, her cousin
Bridesman: A great friend of ours and her MOH’s bestie

The Flower Girls are going to be my god daughter and my Matron of Honor’s daughter. Ring bearer is my Maid of Honor’s son – he is soooo excited. Lol
