Ask a Question - Sister-In-Law - MISSLEXY03's Blue Wedding by Color Blog

I'm having both of my older sisters in law in the wedding (we recently found out that he has two baby half siblings that may or may no be co-flower girl and ring barer). I originally wasn't going to have the oldest as a bridesmaid simpley becuase I didn't think she was that into wedding stuff but when I asked she was so excited and her mother told me that it meant soo much to her to be made a part of the wedding. I now have eight bridesmaids but two of them are going to light candles and do readings so that the alter will not be crowded.

We are having my sister in law but honestly it doesnt feel like she is really in the wedding... the only thing she has done is bought the dress.... we decided to have all our brothers and sisters as the wedding party, but some are just really there because they are family and we didnt want to leave them out....

I have not decided if I am having my SIL's yet. Not that I don't want them, but I have 2 sisters of my own...and several friends I want in the wedding also. Because we have over a year until the wedding yet, Im not in a huge rush to make my decision.
You need to remember that you can not make everyone happy though. If you'd just rather them not be in it, I don't think that is a big deal. However, if you'd kinda like to....you just don't know where to put them- what about making your twin sisters junior bridesmaids? Or have your sister in laws involved by allowing them to pass out the programs, or helping serve cake etc.

My sister in law is our reception MC

My FSIL is a bridesmaid. I wanted her in the bridal party only because we have become very close. We talk and hang out regularly, and I consider her to be a good friend. I would not have asked her simply out of duty, however, if we were not as close as we are. My fiance is not asking either of my two brothers to be his groomsmen.

Thanks Ladies for your responses!!! I think that I will have her help in other ways. I have only met her a few times but I do love her to death. We have talked on the phone a lot but since she lives in Colorado and she wont even be here till the day before the wedding. I am going to have her in charge of dacorating the reception hall because she is an interior designer!!!

its up to you, but it is traditional to have someone from BOTH sides of the family in the wedding party. My brother is one of my fiance's groomsmen, and i asked his sister to be a bridesmaid, but she will be in iraq and can't come :(

Yes, my sister in law Marjorie is in mine. I was also in her wedding too. She is awesome!

I am having my sisters in law in my wedding. I wouldn't if we weren't close but we are. There is nothing wrong with not having her in you wedding party!

Mine won't be in the wedding. Nothing personal, but 2 of them didn't seem very interested (which is why I didn't push it) & the other one has been in about 5 over the last 2 years, & we just didn't want her to hate us. LOL! So, I chose my sister & my bestest friend (who would have been in it anyway), & my FI chose his 2 best friends for the Groomsmen. I don't really like them not being in the wedding, but I did at least consider it, & I can't force it.

I am having all THREE of them... not to mention I have 5 other bridesmaids and a junior bridesmaid... it was always pretty much assumed, although I am not very close at all to 2 of them...

a very rough situation for me... but I feel not having them be a part of the wedding will separate us even further, so I would like us to be close in the future (I have to do what I can!)

I know this sounds ugly but I dont even want my sister in law in my wedding. I have only met her like 4 times she has been in the Navy since b4 my love and i got together and lives in Maryland where we live in Texas, my love and his family insist on me putting them( her,her husband, and her kids) in my wedding. i dont wanna hurt anyones fellings but honestly I dont even know if she likes me, the few times i have seen her are always awkward. Also they dont even know if they can make it for the wedding so here I am planning our wedding and including them in it when they could just stand us up. sorry to write a story but what would you do!!!!

Wow andrealuvsherbabies that is a lot more tuff than my situation.... I would talk to his sister one on one...tell her how you feel...I didnt know what to do and his sister told me that she completely understood...It is your wedding and dont let anyone ruin it ok!!!

I'm having my sister in law in mine simply because Jules is like MY sis. I have watched her grow up and she knows alot about me and mine. We enjoy hanging out. So it was an easy decision for me.

no i'm not having my FSIL in my wedding... we're not THAT close yet, i want a small wedding party & also, money wise, she wouldn't be able to even afford a dress right now so it's best that she not be in it... she has mentioned it before though but... oh well
