  It is generally accepted here that people don't want "duties". If you want them to feel included, you can invite them get ready with you, buy them some nice flowers (like you do for the moms), ask them to do a reading, invite them to bridal showers/bachelorette party/etc.  Don't give them another title. You can list them in the program as "sister of the groom".

  They could do a reading.

  What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  Corsages. Have them perform a reading, light a candle. 

  
  

  Friends of ours had family walk down the aisle as part of the processional.

  so i'm starting to think about who i would like to be apart of my wedding party and my fiancé's sisters have expressed a desire to be involved in some way  in the wedding party and while i had no intentions of having a large wedding party adding his sisters brings my bridesmaids from 4 to 8. so now i'm wondering if maybe i can give them another duty that is not an usher but i can't think of any clever tittles for them and i also don't want to exclude them since i love them as if they were my own sisters. I would hate to hurt their feelings and not include them but i have no idea what i want them to do!!

  Why can't they stand up for their brother? Your sides don't need to be even. Also, you need to ask yourself what's more important, your future family or numbers?

  If you're possibly doing a Catholic wedding and if they are Catholic, two of them could present the gifts.
  
  But yeah, they could totally stand up on your brother's side if he wants to include them.

  I agree with either having them be readers, bring up the gifts if you're Catholic, or just stand on his side.

  In addition to being involved in the ceremony in other ways, you could also invite them to wear similar dresses to the bridesmaids. i.e. If your color is light pink, you could have his sisters wear dark pink.

  They aren't bridesmaids, so why would they dress in bridesmaid colors?

  Yes lets make these people buy a special dress when they aren't even being honored by being in the wedding party.  Amazing idea.  **rolling eyes**
