Sister problem

kaywilson20

Help!!!  I'm getting married next fall and so far I have asked 2 of my sisters and my niece to be in the bridal party.  I have another sister who is 25 years older than I am and lives in another state.  I talk to her maybe 5 times a year.  I thought all would be fine until my dad found out she wouldn't be asked to be in the bridal party.  I don't see my sister having a problem with not being a bridesmaid, but I'd still like to find some other way to include her in the wedding without making her feel like she's being put to work.  My sisters and I have been racking our brains trying to come up with something for her...Please send any and all suggestions!!!

You could have her be in charge of decorations esp at your reception site and any pew bows/flowers if you are doing any. Or like the other ladies said, she could be a reader. If you are ok with it, you could have her be an usher, even though they are usually the guys, but I have seen it before.

I wouldn't do that, because that is a lot of work with little honor or recognition.

Ask her to do a reading in your ceremony or to be an Usher(ette).
