How Many Is Too Many Attendants?

OK, I know you have lots of really good friends. I know they are all dying to be in your wedding. But really, couldn't you narrow it down a bit? Isn't six a bit excessive? Oh and that doesn't count the flower girl! The fact is each extra attendant means more flowers! It also means more gifts for your attendants. It means organizing your head table around what seems like a group the size of your old Brownie Troop. Yes I know we could do a sweetheart table, but the point is, how about just your sister and best friend, and a flower girl? Easier to organize for you and a budget trimmer for me. Give it some thought. This means you too!
