Is it worth having bridesmaids?

Hi everyone,


I recently posted on here before about Bridesmaids and whether to have them, i’m really torn!
My sister had 3 bridesmaids and she ended up sacking one of them, it was the end of their friendship. I will definitely have my sister as my MOH and will get ready with my sister and Mum in the morning.
However, I have 6 very good friends that I could have as bridesmaids that I’ve been friends with since school/university. They are all such good friends and I love them all to pieces. However, I think having 6 bridesmaids will be stressful and I don’t really want to choose between them. My sister is very organised and has helped me plan every step of the way! I don’t really feel like I need bridesmaids and on the day my sister/Mum can help me if I need anything.
However, I’m worried it might look a bit silly as my fiancé is having 3 groomsmen. Although, I might have my fiancé’s brothers (he has two) girlfriends wearing pink (our wedding colour scheme) so they can join in family photos and will match my fiancé’s brothers (they are groomsmen). However, I want to honour my friends in some way.
I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are and how I can honour my friends? E.g. shall I ask them to wear a certain colour on the day for photos and buy them gifts for the day. Should I have them as bridesmaids? I’m very torn with it all and I feel like having 2 of them will upset the rest. I simply can’t pick. Also none of my friends are engaged nor have they been through the wedding process so I’m not sure they will understand how stressful it is! I wouldn’t want anything to jeopardise our relationship.
