Less is more, when is comes to the size of your bridal party.

Keep in mind the larger your bridal party the more money it will cost you in the long run. I suggest keeping the bridal party on the smaller side. If you get too many people involved it seems to take away from the bride and groom, and is also much easier to manage a smaller group of people. I know it can be hard to pick and choose, but there are other jobs you can give the people that you want to be part of the wedding, but not in the bridal party. For instance, they could proclaim a reading, usher guests to their seats, distribute programs, etc.
