Wow, will your friend have any guests in the seats watching the ceremony or is everyone she knows in the bridal party? That is way too excessive and is a photographer's nightmare as pictures are going to take so much longer with that many people! My husband and I each had two attendants and a flower girl and ring bearer. I think the traditional thing is for the bride and groom to each have one attendant for every 50 guests. I was right on target since we had about 75 guests.

The most I’ve seen is 6 on each side. I think 14 on each side is a bit much. It’s supposed to be special to be in the bridal party. It kind of looses it’s luster with that many people involved.

I had 1 flower girl, 1 ring bearer, 1 MOH, 1 bridesmaid, and 2 groomsmen. I liked having a smaller bridal party. I can’t imagine having 34 people to work with.

14? Holy crap…that’s way over the top.
Last wedding I went to had 8 on each side and I though THAT was too much….took like 15 mins just for everyone to get to the altar before it was even bride’s turn…14! man….

I think that 8 is the max. Anything over that and I would be pretty upset as a bridesmaid that my friend couldn't actually decide who was the closest to her and just asked everyone. Being a bridesmaid is expensive and I wouldn't want to just be one of many that day.

that is alot. I'm having 12 (6 bridesmaids and groomsman) plus the flower girl and ringbearer. So a total of 14 plus us. I think that was great. If I would put all my cousins in the bridal party i would have like 16 bridesmaids that was a hard choice for me but i was able to cut it down to 6 and 6.

14 on each side? I can't think of that many people that close to me. At the most I will be having 4 on each side. Why does she need 3 flower girls and 3 ring bearers? How will 34 bridal party members, the bride, the groom, and the preacher fit at the alter? much less how the the photographer fit that many people in pictures? Weddings are supposed to be intimate. Not a parade.

Ours was 6 on each side, with one flowergirl, and that was plenty! Things do add up, the more people you have, like flowers and bridal party gifts, etc.

She’s going to have so much stress trying to manage all those people, she won’t even enjoy her own wedding. What a shame. We opted for no bridal party at all, and it was a delight-no BM dresses to worry about, nothing. Our moms signed our marriage license, and it was pretty worry-free.

I think she’s making a joke of her wedding, personally, and how special can the BM’s feel if they are one of 14? That’s just absurd, IMO.
