I am having a huge dilemma here and It's tearing me up inside! A have twin sisters - one of which I asked to be a bridesmaid and the other I shortly replaced with my fiance's sister. I replaced her b/c she was going through a difficult time in her life - just really unpredictable and I wasn't sure if she'd be responsible to make it and pay for her dress, etc. I realize how selfish that was now. I talked to her about being the guestbook attendant instead and she went along w/ my idea ... but has since expressed that her feelings are hurt that she won't be standing up there w/ everyone else. The bridesmaids have already ordered their dresses and there isn't an extra groomsman that my fiance can add ... and we are already up to 5 each which is already bigger then we anticipated for a wedding party. He brought up the idea of asking his sister to be guestbook attendant instead and putting my sister back in, but I can't stand the thought of demoting a bridesmaid like that. I feel like I won't be able to live w/ myself without both my sisters standing w/ me ... I need advice DESPERATELY!

Second, I'm sorry to be blunt, but you've really made a mess of this! Guest books do not need an attendant, it is in no way an honor to ask someone to stand next to a book. Your wedding party is not a set of props, ask those closest to you to participate. Don't replace anyone who cannot participate, don't kick anyone out. If they can't afford it or decide they don't want to be involved, they'll take themselves out. Uneven sides is NO BIG DEAL. They can walk individually, or in groups of two or three. Honestly, your marriage will still be valid, no one will even care. We are having two on my side and three on his, one of the girls I wanted is not available, and I can't imagine figuring out someone to be a place filler.
