bridesmaid question

Original post by happybride11

So..if you arent super close with your fsil do you feel like you have to have her as a bridesmaid b/c she is 'family' I am so anti but then a small part of me knows asking her is the right thing to do..I just really dont want to

Well, if he had many sisters, then of course you should not pick all of them but i say just pick one! You will grow to love her (possibly?) I would think if you were not getting along, then 'eh' but If she is close to her brother, I would say that it is the polite thing to do (unless there is someone in youir life that TRULY deserves that spot) because it is his wedding too. I added my fiance's sister because he adores her to death and i love her very much but even if she and i were not close, she would still be in it because it will make him super happy to see her standing there beside us. Everyone's comments seem pretty helpful, so i am sure you will do whats right for you and the fiance! Good luck! enjoy the ride!

I think its up to your FH. My brother is in our wedding because I wanted him! If its his sister and he is super close with her then you should ask her.

I think you should, she will be a big part of your life and once kids are involved and your looking back at your pictures, don't you want your husbands sister to be in them?

ITA with what everyone has said... Me, i have always been very close to FSIL, even before FH and I started dating so she is my MOH. Even if i wasnt really close with her i prob. would have asked her to be in the BP.

I didn't know my FSIL too well when I asked her to be in my party. I knew we got along and that she is NOT a drama queen so I wanted her to be involved to bring us closer and I am happy to report that things are going as planned. She really is great

My fh has 2 sisters and honestly, we don't get along. I don't mind that we don't get along and FH doesn't care if they are in it or not. Fh wasn't invited to be part of his own sister's wedding! I have two brothers and I want them up there that day so I felt obligated to invite fsils. They were shocked when I asked and honestly, the relationship is getting better and I guess it's because now we have a common thing to talk about. Hth!
