My best friend pulled the plug on bridesmaids after we had all ready been asked and I would never tell her, I wouldnt want to upset her and it cant be changed, but it made me really sad, I would have been really proud to stand up next to her regardless of the size of the wedding (she had 30 people).
I don't think there's anything wrong with a large bridal party at a small wedding (or small bridal party at a large wedding) despite what the wedding guide books will tell you about 1 attendant for every 50 guests or whatever. Would these 6 girls still be invited to the small wedding if they weren't bms?
Holy shit, wedding books suggest the number of attendants?? I am so glad I don't read these, haha.
I'd go ahead with them in your bridal party anyway.
Unless some of those six are now uninvited, go for a big party. But since it's a date change too, make sure you tell them asap so they can get it on the calendar.
We're having a small wedding and instead of doing a wedding party we're planning to ask our closest friends to be part of the House Party--very similar duties and honors but they won't actually stand up with us and they won't have to buy matching dresses, etc. It's a nice middle ground between wanting a core support group/helpers/party friends but not wanting to have a larger group up at the altar than in the seats!
we just decided to do the same thing!! ive never really been a fan of bridal parties though... your girls should be understanding... just let them know you need more people in the audience ;-)

I have already asked 6 of my closest friends to be in my wedding and they all happily accepted and are very excited about picking out their dresses and being a part of our special day (my FI only has 2 groomsmen). Now, I may be downsizing my wedding from 120 to 45 and moving it up 4 months. We are doing this mostly for financial reasons.
Should I let them know that we are going to have a small wedding without a bridal party and apologize or should I go on with 6 bridesmaids for a small wedding?
Please advise. Thanks!
