Currently, I have 7 bridesmaids for my wedding. Is this too many to have for 100 guests, or should I follow the 1 bridesmaids for every 50 guest rule.

I should have mentioned that currently I don't have a guests list..but 100 is my base point, it'll probably go up from there.

doesnt really matter, i think....have as many as you want....its YOUR wedding...and if you have that many people in your wedding party....you obviously want them there for a reason....I.E best friends, family etc....

7 Bridesmaids Too Many?

I think that you should make your guest list first. With the rule, don't worry too much about it. It's not too many bridesmaids if you want a big wedding. Because if you think about it, that's 7 more families that you are going to have at your wedding. And there are going to be 7 groomsmen, so that's 7 more families. It can add up to more than 100 people easily.

Do as you please, I've seen weddings with over 10 bridesmaids and only 50 guests (she wanted all her friends to be close to her and share her entire day).
Keep in mind though, you have to buy them all gifts. You don't want to buy them anything crappy either (think of the money they're shelling out to buy the dress, shoes, etc...). If you want to (you dont have to) balance this out with the same number of guys, will that be a problem?
Also, the limo....will you be able to fit everyone in the limo to the church and back--and elsewhere if needed--or will they be traveling in another vehicle? This may up the price of the limo if you need to pay for a larger vehicle.
For my wedding, I had 4 bridesmaids and 40 guests. No one even batted an eye at the fact that I had 4 bridesmaids.

yes it is too many. As a bride-to-be I know its tough, but you really should narrow it down a bit. I narrowed mine from 6 to 4 because I wanted to have more intimacy with the girls with whom I feel closest as I get ready for the big moment (the prepping the bride time is very important to me). Also, I didnt want to have to deal with accommodating so many girls when I am supposed to be focusing on myself (sounds selfish I know, but I know how I am and I always try to make everyone happy...I'd like to try and make myself happy without worrying about everyone else for once!)
That being said, its your wedding and if you want 7 bridesmaids, have 7 bridesmaids, its your wedding do what you want.
Side note- remember that you have to buy gifts and flowers for each of these girls if money is an issue.

seven does seem a little too much but how much do these girls mean to you and how will their feelings be hurt if they are not a special part of you wedding? is a silly 1per 50 rule really worth offending a good friend or family member? hey it's your day you do what you want and that's the bottom line. i had a wedding of 75 guests and i had my two sisters, my sister in law, and my brother in law's girlfriend as bridesmaids and the world did not fall apart. enjoy your big day and GOOD LUCK!!

That's only 1 more than my cousin had, she had 6. It wasn't too many no one thought it was too many or that it was tacky (how the heck is that tacky??) Pictures looked great and there was no drama what so ever. There was only 90 guests in all. No problems. Don't worry about the naysayers it's YOUR wedding and as long as you're not inconveniancing anyone then 7 is not too many.

Sweetie, I do believe you've mistaken that rule. It's 1 usher for every 50 guest rule.
What's the point of having a bridesmaid for the guest?
7 is too many, it looks like you are trying to get all of your friends in the party, when it will only show how small your group of friends are. If anything, 100 guests sounds a bit small for a wedding.

I don't think 7 is to many. It is your wedding..you do what you want and dont worry about what others think. Really everyone should have their attention on you and not the bridesmaid! So i think you should do what ever you want!

I don't see why the number of guests would matter, but if it matters to you, le t that be your guide. I've seen weddings where there were 9 bridesmaids. It's just a little more difficult to arrange with more, but if each of the girls' participation is important to you, then that's all that matters.
Congratulations

consider everything that the bridesmaids have to do together to prepare for the wedding. if they are all close friends of yours & of eachother, it shouldnt be a problem, but if they are not friends with eachother/close or even live closer together, it will probably be difficult. im planning my wedding & have a maid of honor, a matron of honor & 3 bridesmaids...a total of 5, i think thats a good #.
