in Wedding Party
Ugh Having a hard time picking who to stand up next to me. I already have a maid of honor (my best friend) but I am not sure who else to pick because I have a SIL who I stood up in her wedding, a FSIL (fiancé's sister) who we are not the greatest of friends right now since she isn't happy that we had a baby before we got married, and some friends from high school. Plus my fiancé's brothers' wife am I supposed to have her I don't care for her either. My fiancé is having his cousin as the best man and I believe his brother is standing up also. Please help me.

    Pick the people you would call at 3 in the morning to help you hide a body - and it doesn't matter if the sides are even. If that doesn't include your FSIL, your SIL, or your FI's SIL, that's fine. Also, remember that wedding parties aren't tit for tat - if you don't want SIL in your wedding party, you don't have to have her.

    Exactly. It doesnt sound like your FSIL/ SIL are those people.

    I get along with my SIL ( brother's wife). So I feel she would be in it. But I feel my fiancé's sister will be mad that she isn't asked to be in it also

    Your FI could have her stand up on his side if he wants her in the party - otherwise, if you don't want her to be a reader, it's an honor to be a guest.

    i never understand people that are mad to not be in a wedding party...i personally would much rather show up in a dress i selected myself (and likely already own) and not have to sit around for several hours before hand getting my hair and makeup and pictures done.  And not missing the cocktail hour for more pictures.  Obviously i will stand up and support my friends if they want me to, but come on.  Not a big deal.

     

    I think brides make this a bigger deal that it truly is...all of these women are adults, if you don't want them up there with you they will get over it.  Also, your sides don't have to be even, so don't even consider how many people your FI wants.  Just pick who you want and be done with it.
