My fiance and i are cracking down on wedding planning. We are having a problem with the potential size of our wedding party. At first we wanted only a small wedding, neither of our families are helping us financially with the wedding b/c i already have a child. But he insists that we have all 5 of his brothers as bestman/groomsmen (which i understand, you can't just pick 1 or 2) so I have chosen my 4 closest friends and his 14yr old sister. B/c his sister is in the wedding, he feels obligated to ask my brother to be a groomsman (my brother could care less). Initially we had planned to cover the cost of all the dresses/tuxes, but if he insists on having my brother as part of it, (which in turn means i must add a person to the bride's side), we will have to cut corners somewhere else (food, decorations etc). We are on a tight budget. Is it tacky to ask each member of the wedding party to pay 1/2 the cost of their dress/tux? Our "small wedding" has turned into a"huge" ordeal.
