So I'm having some difficulty with deciding who will be in my bridal party and would like some advice please
My FI is having 4 groomsmen (symmetry is not a huge concern for us though). I know who I would like to be my MOH and one bridesmaid. I have a two options for the rest of the bridal party: (1) inviting one friend that lives out of state who always is short on money and another friend who had asked me to be in her wedding party, but had a baby instead and is also very short on money OR (2) asking my 2 sisters and my FI sister (all of them are about 10 years older and married with children). I prefer my two friends because our 3 sisters are opinionated and tend to treat me as the "little sister" still; however, is it polite to give my friends an "opt out?" I don't want them to feel obligated to be in the bridal party because I know it can get expensive, especially since we are planning a destination bachelorette party. Decisions decisions...Please help
