FSIL in Bridal Party?
Are you girls asking your future sister-in-law to be in the bridal party? I'm not particularly close with mine, and the other girls in my bridal party aren't either. However, I know it's traditional to ask the FSIL and I think she'd appreciate it.

One of my fsil's is. I was in her bridal party 2 years ago when FH and I were just dating. One of his other sisters told me years ago that she would rather not be a bridesmaid anymore (she is older, 3kids etc) which I totally respect. She still wants to help anyway she can which is great. FH's younger sister told his mom she did not want to be a part of it, which I respected (very long story). But if they wanted to be I would have asked them

I'm having my FSIL in my bridal party.. It's a point of contention between FH and I because if I didn't then she would be the only sibling not involved. Unfortunately she's making some poor life choices and she and FH aren't currently speaking so FH wants her out but I think time is just needed to let the dust settle before any rash decision are made. Dramaaaaa! I would feel bad if she were left out.

I had mine, we are close. But even if your not I think it's something your should do. My husband and my brother aren't particularly close but I would have been furious if he didn't have my bro lol.

I'm having my FH twin sisters in my bridal party. We are close so it was an easy decision but it did out my bridal party a higher number than a wanted, I'm up to 10. But I'm marrying into a big Italian family so I've learned to embrace it
and my brother is a groomsman as well. I feel like it's a nice tradition!

My SIL (brothers wife) is in my bridal party (and I was in hers), and my FSIL (FH's brothers wife) is also in my bridal party. I wasn't in hers but thats only because she had a very small wedding with only a MOH. I felt it was the right thing to do and I am not extremely close with FSIL, however we have been hanging out more and she went with me to my first dress shopping experience. She's helping a lot more than some other bridesmaids.

My FSIL and I are not as close as we use to be. I've included her on some small things but she is not part of my bridal party.

Yes I have one FSIL In my bridal party however the other one flat out told me she didn't have the money and even when his parents offered to pay for her she flat out said no. I just think she didn't want to be bothered and I'm def better off

My FSIL, my FH's brother's wife, is in my bridal party. I went back and forth for a while with it, but my FBIL and his Son is in it as the ring bearer, so I kinda had to. Also, FH wanted her. Since then she has really shwn her true colors and I'm regretting my decision, but I have 5 other girls who I am very excited to have in my wedding so I'm just focusing on that!

I actually really debated this... My fiancé has SIX sisters, and I have two. I'm very close with a couple of my FSIL but ended up deciding to have all of them as bridesmaids since I think it's the right thing to do. I also have 3 friends that I'm close with, so there are 11 bridesmaids... A large wedding party AND an uneven number. Everything you're not supposed to do :)

NOPE! My brother and FSIL are getting married 6 weeks after I am. FH and I are both in their wedding. We only asked my brother to be in mine. I'm pretty sure she doesn't care for me and I know for a fact she has an EXTREME dislike for my FH, so we felt there was no reason to have someone who wasn't going to be happy for us around us all day.

Both of his sisters are in our wedding party - but they're standing on his side, so technically they're groomswomen. :) My brother is a bridesman on my side.

FH has four sisters- all are half siblings and was only raised in the same house with two of them. I asked the two he is closest to/lives with to be in our bridal party

Going to be asking my FSIL to be in the bridal party even though we aren't particularly close. Went back and forth with it for a little while but ultimately decided for it because I didn't want to leave her out and I'm hoping to get closer with her through this whole thing. We are both very different people though so I'm hoping I didn't make the wrong choice. FH was totally supportive either way but figured this was the best way to go! Glad I'm not the only one with this dilemma! lol

I am not having my FSIL in our wedding party and she is totally ok with it. I am just having a matron and maid of honor. Her handsome lil man will be our ring bearer. I did however get her a little something that I will be giving to her as we will now be sisters.

My FH and I are only children so no future sister/brother in laws lol. We are each putting our cousins in the wedding party though. I would think though if either one of us had a sibling they would be in the party though.

I was included in my brothers wedding and I think it's a nice gesture. If you think that she would appreciate it, then I would do it.
