It is a formal wedding. Seven bridesmaids, seven groomsmen. Bridesmaids will have floor length dresses, groomsmen will be in tuxes. It is in a church at 730pm followed by reception.
For a formal ceremony you can have between four and ten groomsmen/ushers. So, yes, if you are going to have a lot of guests then adding two ushers is expected. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
My pleasure. If you're still at the beginning of the planning process, I suggest getting the new Emily post book called, "Etiquette". It's a great help tool (although we certainly don't mind answering your questions here) and can be helpful after the wedding as well. It's a terrific resource for anyone to have.
