2 sisters in law... do they both have to be in the wedding party?

I have 2 SIL... I'm very close with one, not very close with the other.

I have 2 SIL... I'm very close with one, not very close with the other. The one I'm close with I consider a friend, we hang out all the time, go to concerts together, etc. The other one we only see each other @ family gatherings. I want to keep my bridal party small (I almost considered not having one at all). I really want the sil I'm close with to be a bridesmaid. If it's going to cause drama, I'd rather have neither than feel obligated to have both, but I feel the one I'm close with would be hurt if she wasn't in it. My fiance won't be having my brothers by his side, and I wouldn't expect him to because they're not close in that way. Anyone else in this situation?

    Definitely only ask the girls you want in it. Adults shouldn't pull tantrums like 5 year Olds. They may choose to be butt hurt about it, but don't include people who will disrupt the rest of your group and desires just because the title family goes with it. There are plenty of "family" members out there who are not actually your friends and who are abusive, don't care, disrespectful, etc. You don't have to include ANYONE but who you want!

    Yes! Same, I’m offended that my sister is in the wedding. I have been asked to help plan…I feel like one gets honor and I get responsibility..I’m a busy mom of 3 and don’t need extra stress. I now feel obligated. I am a half sister to him so it triggers feelings of being excluded from my childhood.
