     Having only one MOH/bridesmaid in the bridal party  

My fiance and I are considering having only one MOH and one bridesmaid, with no additional bridesmaids/groomsmen in the party. This is something that many couples seemingly don't do anymore, but it's really what we want. I realize that it may hurt some people's feelings because we both have many friends. And I'm pretty sure that somewhere along the way, we will get talked about for doing something that seems strange or inconsiderate.

Is this something that people still do, have just one attendant on each side? We are hoping to have our wedding in a rose garden so it will be slightly summer/casual. If we decide on a church, is this too informal of a plan? Can you give me advice on how to best make this go over?

Thamn you - Mary

You can certainly make this work from a rose garden or any venue. Many times when there are distance or time issues, couples choose to use no attendants.

I agree. This is fine. Typically the number of attendants is based on the formality of the wedding and the number of guests. You will be fine.
