Have fiance's sisters as Bridesmaids?

I would welcome advice on this one- I love my fiance's two sisters and we get along great, but I'm not sure if I should ask them to be bridesmaids.  They are significantly older than us (in their 50's) so I'm not sure if they would want to do the whole ordeal, or if they would feel odd about it.  I don't want them to be hurt if I don't ask, but I also don't want them to feel obligated if I do ask.  My fiance doesn't have any advice on this really.  Also, not that I care too much about this component, but if I have them, then there would be an uneven number of bridesmaids to groomsmen.  Additional detail- the husband of one of them is the best man.  Any ideas?

    If you want them, ask them. If you don't want them to feel pressured, don't make any sort of production out of it - just say, "FSIL, if you'd be up for it, I'd love to have you be a bridesmaid." They can say no if they don't want to.

    You're right that uneven sides are not a concern.

    In my book, if you are "not sure," about asking someone to be a bridesmaid, the answer is no.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
