The decision to have bridesmaids, no bridesmaids or just a maid of honour can be tiring. However, if you decide to have have bridesmaids walk the aisle with you, the question of how many bridesmaids you may need comes into play.

It can be hard to decide when you have many family members or friends that are all potential bridesmaids. Well, if you aren’t sure how many to pick, or how to select your maids, here are some tips to help you make your decision.

ALL OR NOTHING

Choosing bridesmaids can sometimes become an emotional minefield when selecting from yours or your future spouse’s family members. Sometimes the ‘all or nothing’ rule can be applied in this context – you may have to commit to asking eight cousins/sisters to be bridesmaids, or forgo the relative route altogether and instead opt for two or three close friends.

RELATIVE TO THE SIZE OF YOUR WEDDING

From a practical standpoint, you could make the number of bridesmaids relative to the size of your wedding. It is customary to have one bridesmaid and one usher to every fifty guests, so if you are having a small intimate wedding just ask your best mate, and if you are having a flamboyant bash for three hundred, you can opt for six ladies!

ODD NUMBERS

If your groom has chosen three groomsmen, and you would like four bridesmaids, it can be a tricky situation to navigate. Whilst having odd numbers is completely fine, you may want make sure that your lone maid will be comfortable with riding solo on your wedding day before you designate her to an evening of unaccompanied dancing at the reception.
