further into this, I always stress for my couples to remember that this is YOUR wedding. Sure, there are etiquette items to take into consideration and common practices as well, but you are free to do things YOUR way.\u00a0 If you want one person on each of your sides, wonderful. If you want 10, ok then. If you want none, rock on. It\u2019s your call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">\u00a0All that said, if you are looking for some advice, common practice for this begins with thinking about the size of your guest count. At this stage, you don\u2019t need a firm list of your guests, but a ball park figure is a good start. A very common practice is to have your bridal party proportional to your guest count.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">\u00a0What do I mean?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Well, if you have 40 guests, but want 10 standing on each side, you already have half of your guests standing at the front with you. On the other hand, if you have 300 guests, 10 on each side won\u2019t seem as much. As a general rule of thumb, if you guest count is under 60, 4 or less attendants are ideal, whereas for guest counts 150 and above, you can continue to grow your party upwards to 12 on each side.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Question 2: I was in his\/her wedding, so naturally they need to be in mine, right?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right  motopress-space\">\n<div class=\"motopress-space-obj mpce-dsbl-background-image-type mpce-dsbl-background-image mpce-dsbl-background-gradient mpce-dsbl-background-position mpce-dsbl-background-position-x mpce-dsbl-background-position-y mpce-dsbl-background-repeat mpce-dsbl-background-size mpce-dsbl-background-attachment mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-background-color mpce-dsbl-border-top-width mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-width mpce-dsbl-border-left-width mpce-dsbl-border-right-width mpce-dsbl-border-top-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-top-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-style mpce-dsbl-border-color mpce-dsbl-padding-left mpce-dsbl-padding-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom mpce-dsbl-color\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span6 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-image-obj motopress-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/detailsindy.com\/blog\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/detailsindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Webp.net-resizeimage-33.jpg\" title=\"bride and bridesmaid reveal\" alt=\"bride and bridesmaid reveal\" class=\"motopress-image-obj-basic mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"motopress-image-caption\">A fabulous bridal reveal.<br \/>\nPhoto by: Chelsea Nix Photography<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-span6 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">While in theory this in nice, this way of thinking can become troublesome depending on how many weddings you have been in.

style=\"font-size: 18px;\">You do not have to have children in your wedding. I\u2019ve seen people have someone be their ring bearer or flower girl when they barely know the child just for the sake of having those positions filed. This makes things awkward for the couple and, if the child is not outgoing, it can be incredibly hard on them as well. Don\u2019t go desperately seeking for children to fill these roles if the child in question is not someone that either you or your partner knows very well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Insider tip:<\/strong> If you have a young ring bearer and\/or flower girl, it\u2019s great to have another one that is older that can hold hands with the younger attendant and help them get down the aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Sometimes a ring bearer and\/or a flower girl will be the child of a bridal party member. This is often great as it makes the child feel more comfortable and more likely to go down the aisle if they are younger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Insider tip:<\/strong> If you are having an &#8220;adults only&#8221; wedding, you can still have a ring bearer and flower girl. That said, if you don\u2019t want those children to be in attendance during the reception, common courtesy would be for you to arrange for a babysitter or a fun activity for them to do during that time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Remember!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right  motopress-space\">\n<div class=\"motopress-space-obj mpce-dsbl-background-image-type mpce-dsbl-background-image mpce-dsbl-background-gradient mpce-dsbl-background-position mpce-dsbl-background-position-x mpce-dsbl-background-position-y mpce-dsbl-background-repeat mpce-dsbl-background-size mpce-dsbl-background-attachment mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right mpce-dsbl-background-color mpce-dsbl-border-top-width mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-width mpce-dsbl-border-left-width mpce-dsbl-border-right-width mpce-dsbl-border-top-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-top-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-left-radius mpce-dsbl-border-bottom-right-radius mpce-dsbl-border-style mpce-dsbl-border-color mpce-dsbl-padding-left mpce-dsbl-padding-right mpce-dsbl-margin-top mpce-dsbl-margin-bottom mpce-dsbl-color\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn  mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"mp-span12 motopress-clmn mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-text-obj\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Selecting the right people for the bridal party is important. Shortly after getting engaged, couples are filled with excitement and sometimes ask people to be in their bridal party too quickly before thinking things fully through. Remember, these are the people that are going to be standing by your side throughout the entirety of the wedding day.
