All the Girls?
Q: How many bridesmaids are too many? I have three sisters and three future sisters-in-law. Do I need to ask all my future sisters-in-law?
A: How many is entirely up to you, considering it is your big day. If you would like just your sisters as your bridesmaids, that’s perfectly fine. If you want to ask your sisters-in-law, ask them. If you’re particularly close with one of them and prefer to only have her stand up with you, then ask only her. To avoid any hurt feelings, maybe you could consider including your sisters-in-law in another way.

I am having 6 total on my side. 1 is my sister, the rest are friends from highschool, college, and recently. I do think you should only ask those you know you will love in the future, but why not ask your newly sister-in-laws? That is just more people to help throw your shower, bach party, as well as letting your fiance know you are committed to his family.
I’m having 6 on my side, and my fiancé is having 6 on his side. I think as long as you’re having a fairly large wedding having a big wedding party is fine. If you’re only have 50-100 people though, you have to be mindful about having 1/8-1/4 of the attendees up front.
