Bridesmaids - Help!!

Hi there, I need some advice on bridesmaids and I’ve been worrying so much about to what to do.


I am getting married in June 2023 so I still have time! I have asked my sister to be my maid of honour, she is incredible and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing it. I’m debating if I should just have my sister or my some of my friends also, I have 6 people I could choose from. However, I’d find it very hard to choose and I’m also worried about upsetting people, pre drama, and rushing in the morning. I love my friends and they are great friends, however after seeing my sister and mum get married I know how stressful it can be having a semi big wedding party.
My question is, if I only have my sister will I regret it? We have the budget to have more bridesmaids and I’m worried that I will miss out on having my friends with my the night before and that photos will look odd (my fiancé is having 2 ushers and one best man). We are having a 70 person wedding in the day and 100 in the evening.
I also don’t know how much help I will need as my sister and mum will help me a lot on the day. I’d like to know people’s experience from having one bridesmaid (especially if it’s just family). Did you regret? Were there things you missed? Or did it save a lot or hassle and stress? Or make more stress in fact?
I’m quite an anxious person so I would like the process to be as stress free as possible and for the morning to be quite intimate. Any advice/experience would be really helpful!!
