I'm dreading choosing my bridal party. I would like to have a small bridal party (mainly for $$ reasons, but also IMO, it looks silly when there's a huge group of people up front). I have a wide variety of close friends (which is a blessing!) but is making this very difficult. I think I've widdled it down to 5 (I think 5 is still too many), but don't know how I could make it any smaller. I think FI has gotten his side down to 4 (I don't care if they are unequal #s)
Also, I'm not looking forward to choosing a MOH. I know I don't have to have one, and I may go that route. What are the downsides of not having a MOH? I was wondering if I could give each girl one MOH "role" during the day (1. stand next to me during the ceremony, 2. be our witness, 3. give a toast ... I'll have to keep thinking.) I have no sisters, and I feel like I can't choose 1 friend over the rest. Am I overthinking this?
Also, would it be weird if I didn't have a MOH and he has a best man?
