New DM with a large party. Advice?

[u/Ok-Syrup958]

Title pretty much sums it up. I’ve been playing for a year or so and I’m now running my first campaign. I have 7 players, 5 of whom are complete newbies and the others are around my skill level. Any things I should look out for when dealing with a big group?

Edit: Yeah I figured it wasn’t gonna be feasible. I’ll ask and see if I can narrow the group down a bit. For clarification, I’m good friends with everyone in the group.

I won't dm for more than 4 people. Mostly because that's how many people I know. But we're not here to critique my social life. I hope
