Do I have to include both sisters??

My fiance is very close with 1 of his sisters, I have met her several times and feel like I know her pretty well.  I want to ask her to be a bridesmaid, but he has another sister that is much older (in her 40's) and I've only met her once.  They are not close and hardly talk, and he said she doesn't like being the center of attention.  Is it ok for me to only ask the 1 sister to be in the bridal party?

  • Yes, that is perfectly ok.

    Yes Eta - no, you do not have to have both. Yes it's okay to only have one.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • It's completely fine as long as it won't cause huge drama in his family, but hopefully thats not an issue for you.
  • Thank you!  This makes me feel so much better already!
  • we only had 1 of H's brothers as a GM. the other one is....well...they say he has middle child syndrome? i dont know. but anyway, he didnt even WANT to be a GM. so it was fine. the one we did have couldnt have been more happier!
  • It would have caused major issues with H's family, which is the only reason I asked his other sister to be a BM.  If it won't cause problems with the family, then you're good to go.
