I only have two really close female friends (both of whom I've known for 4+ years). My best friend of over 10 years is my maid of honor and my other best friend of about 5 years is my bridesmaid. The issue is that I feel like my party is too small. My fiance wants to keep things even and because of that has only a best man and a groomsman. I feel like I should have more in my party but I don't know who else I'd want in my party, besides maybe my brother's girlfriend or something. What should I do? Does it really matter?
I just don't want my bridesmaids to be strained when paying for everything-- they're both buying their own dresses (of their own styles, with the colors being the same) and my bridesmaid is paying for my wedding cake, but it's apparently customary for them to pay for the bachelorette party (I had no idea!). Can someone help me?
