Ugh so I don't know what to do about my bridal party. My best friend will be my Matron of honor though I have two other friends that might get mad because I didn't ask them to be the maid of honor then I have my SIL (that we are currently having problems with) That I am not sure if I want in my wedding. What to do????

    How many attendants do you plan on having? You may ask the other friends to be bridesmaids if you want too. But do not feel pressured into having more attendants than you feel comfortable with having just because you are afraid someone will be upset.

    What do you want to do? Do you want your other two friends in the wedding? If not, just say you're having a small wedding party (but make it true) and that you hope they can still make your wedding (if inviting them). On the topic of your SIL, do you like her? Do you want to remember your special day with her by your side? Here's my opinion on siblings in weddings, even though etiquette wise you don't have to have them in your WP, I think siblings (and in laws) should be included because in 30-40 years.. you might not be friends with a single person that stood in that photo with you other than your family. If you truly hate your SIL (which it doesn't seem like it), I would ask her if she wants to be in your WP. The wedding is still 7-8 months out so you guys might work out whatever the issue may be.

    As of right now I don't want her in my wedding and her brother (my fiancé) is not seeming to want her either except he knows he going to have to because of his mom. So I guess I am going to have to have her and just deal with it. :-( Ugh why does it have to be so hard to figure things out

    Don't have a FSIL in your wedding party if you don't have a realationship with her.  People in your wedding party are people who love you two, will support you, and who you have a close relationship with

    We aren't having FSIL in the wedding party (FI's brother's wife) even though her husband is the Best Man.  There is so many issues with her that FMIL and FI don't even want her invited to the wedding, but I politely explained if Brother is standing up his wife must be invited.

    Can FSIL be involved in the wedding in other ways like a reader?
