Bridesmaids
That's where it comes from...

I just read that the "traditional" method for choosing the number of bridesmaids is one bridesmaid for every 35-50 guests. So THIS is where the feelings of "too many bridesmaids" comes from! I guess by that calculation, I would have 210-300 guests since I have 6 ladies in my wedding party.

Of course we will more realistically have 65-75 people at the wedding so that is pretty off base. And I guess I could've had only one or two ladies in the wedding, but first off, I love all of my bridesmaids and couldn't imagine not having any of them stand with me and secondly, I don't actually care about "tradition." :-)

Wow...I didn't know that, but I actually ended up with the right amount of girls...well no never mind I invited the right amount, but should have one less girl for the amount that will attend.

Yeah I'd be having about an extra hundred guests that won't be at my wedding if we were going by that rule. Screw tradition! I love my ladies and wold probably add more if I could, lol.
