So, even before we were engaged I was struggling with who to ask to be a BM. I have a sister, and then 4 friends who I am very close to (ranging from Jr. HS to law school). Fiance has 2 sisters.
That's 7. Which seems like a lot to me. We are aiming for a wedding of 130-150 guests and want a really low key, relaxed vibe. But I just don't know who to cut out.
Has anyone else struggled with this?

Re: Struggling with size of bridal party
I sure am. Every week I add someone or take someone out. Its hard to chose between friends when you feel the same way about all of them.

Re: Struggling with size of bridal party
choose who you really care about to be in your wedding party because that's what matters. if its 7 girls then that's what it is. if not, then just make sure that you choose the closest people to you because they deserve to be a part of your special day and they will want to be a part of it as well! its a hard decision but in the end, it all works out!
