Hello everyone! I've been lurking for awhile but thought I'd make an appearance to ask advice of the Board Vets.

I'm not sure who to ask to be a part of my bridal party. I know who I want to ask to be my MOH, but I'm not sure for the others. For the record, I've not asked any person, not even the MOH to be in the wedding. I know I'll need to next month because I'll hit the 10 months to go milestone.
I never envisioned having a large bridal party (4 people maybe?). I'm introverted and can be overwhelmed by people, even if it's with people I love and care about. I had four girls come to mind when I was initially thinking about the wedding. However ... my mother thinks my two sisters (whom I've never been terribly close with as 8+ years older than they are) should be in the wedding and I also have a male friend whom I'm closer to than two of the ladies that initially came to mind. Additionally, one of my female friends has offered to gift us our wedding cake, so I'm not sure if that puts her more "in the running" to be asked to be in the bridal party compared to others or not? I don't want to disappoint anyone or hurt feelings by not seeming as inclusive as I could be because I care for them all greatly.
I have been trying to think of ways to include all of them, but overall the process has made me stressed out and wanting to more and more to strictly limit my bridal party to my MOH and maybe my sister. Any advice?
I apologize if any of this is rambly - please let me know if I could clarify anything.
Either way - thank you for taking the time to read! I appreciate it!
