Many sisters

in Wedding Party
Hi ladies. I'm just got engaged in December and we've chosen to do a June wedding this year so everything is feeling a little rushed. Exciting but rushed.

Anyway, I have one full sister two year a younger than I whom I'm really close with, one eight year old half sister from my dad's second marriage, and two step sisters from my stepdad, 12 and 16. I'd like to include them all in my bridal party. Initially I wanted to ask my full sister to be my MOH and the rest to be bridesmaids but I don't want any of them, especially the little one, to feel bad or not equal or anything. Would this set up be okay? Do you think any feelings will be hurt?

TIA!

    It's hard to say b/c we don't know your sisters. However, I always find it ludicrous when bridesmaids feel "unequal" to the MOH. They all do the same thing: put on a dress, hold flowers or whatever, and walk down the aisle and stand there.  It's not like there's a trophy or special walk and wave with everyone ooohing and ahhhing, "Oooooh, look at the Maid of HONOR!" 

    I think your plan is great.

    I think your plan sounds fine. I personally have two sisters and 3 very close friends, so I just decided not to have a MOH. Works out fine. No one notices or cares.

    Thanks ladies! I am feeling a little overwhelmed with everything there is to do and I wanted to make sure my decision wasn't too hasty

    I think they are young enough and probably don't really care. They will feel happy to be in it at all. I wasn't in my older sisters wedding at all but our other sister was her MOH and her 2 daughters and step daughter were her BM's. I felt left out all together because I was her only other sibling. I didn't want to be the MOH at all but I felt bad not being included any. I was 15 at the time and ultimately their marriage only lasted a year so I'm way over that but it stung at the time.

    Are you closest to your full sister?  If so, I don't think there is anything wrong with choosing her as a MOH.
