How many bridesmaids should I have?

The number of bridesmaids you should have depends on your personal preferences, the size of your wedding, and the roles you'd like them to play. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Wedding Size:

   • For a small, intimate wedding, 1-4 bridesmaids is common.

   • For a larger wedding, you may have 5-10 or more.

2. Close Relationships:

   • Choose those who are closest to you, such as best friends, siblings, or family members.

   • Think about how involved you'd like them to be in the planning process.

3. Symmetry:

   • Some people like to balance the number of bridesmaids with the groomsmen, but it’s not mandatory.

4. Budget:

   • Keep in mind the costs associated with bridesmaids (dresses, gifts, hair/makeup) and how that fits into your budget.

Ultimately, there’s no set rule—it's about what feels right for you! How many are you considering so far?
