3 sisters im not close with...

I'm having a really hard time deciding what to do about my bridal party. I have three best friends I have known since we were kids, i'm still really close with them, and can't imagine not having them in my wedding. BUT i also have 3 sisters, none of which i'm close with at all. My mother is all about tradition and would be devastated if i didn't have my three sisters.

I wanted a small bridal party...but to keep the peace do have all 6 (3 friends and 3 sisters)? or do i just have friends? or just sisters?

To add to the trouble, my FI has two sisters (again i'm not super close with them). He said I shouldn't worry about including them, but I kinda feel bad. However, I can't imagine having 8 girls in my bridal party.

ugh, what to do?!

    I feel like you should follow your heart with this one and do what YOU want. If you are not close to your sisters and fiances sisters then don't have them in the wedding. You said you wanted a small bridal party so stick to your 3 best friends. I could not imagine having anyone in my wedding that I was not comfortable with. Your family will understand. You could always have them do a reading of some sort but do what YOU want. You will be happier that way. Good luck!

    This is the first of many times you will realize that you can not make everyone happy.  I understand your pressure from your family to have your sisters, as well as not wanting a big wedding party.  Unfortunately, this is one of those situation where no matter what you do someone will be unhappy.  But in the end, as the PP said, you have to do what you want and what makes you happy.  

    When we first talked about bridal parties there was a lot of pressure because for me it was all or nothing.  Either a 9 person party or just a MOH.  In the end, we decided to just have MOH and a BestM.  Although it still upset a few people, I am still very happy with our decision because I think that having a bridal party would have been so stressful that it would have ruined the experience for us.   

    As the PP said, Follow your heart on this one.
