    Yep! My FSIL and her husband and 3 kids are all in our bridal party. My FH has told me that his relationship with his BIL had improved due to this planning. FSIL and my relationship has gotten continuously closer as well. Shes also helping plan my shower and getting closer with my sisters and mom.

    Yes, my FSILs are both BMS, my sisters are my MOHs, my brother is a GM, and his brother is the Best Man & officiant. Also, his oldest nephew is our FB and my god daughter is our FG. His BIL is not in the wedding party since they're not close but he's going to do the blessing before dinner.

    Yes, my two sisters-in-laws are my bridesmaids, as well as my own three sisters.

    I have 3 brothers and a sister all married, he has 3 brothers and a sister all in long term relationships. We wanted to keep our parties small. He is having his brothers on his side, and my sister is my moh. I asked one of my brothers to walk me down the aisle (my dad has passed away) I asked my other brother to do a reading, and my last brother to do an honorary dance with me, stepping in for my dad. As he has always said he would dance to butterfly kisses at my wedding. So all of our siblings are in the wedding somehow, but not in laws. I felt bad at first but not anymore.

    My sister will be a bridesmaid, so as of right now that's the only in law that we are planning on being in the wedding party!

    HECK NO lol My soon-to-be SIL is a nice girl, but definitely not someone I wanted in my wedding party (currently struggling with if I should even include her in the bachelorette weekend...). Thankfully, we live 3 hours from her and even though my FH and I have been together 3.5 years, I've really not spent much time with my future SIL, so not including her wasn't a big deal since we're not close.

    But, in my fiance's case, I guess he does have an in-law in the wedding party since my sister is my MOH...

    I do have my future in laws in the wedding, since the beggining we hit it off so of course I asked. Smiley smile

    I'm not. We aren't close. I don't think anyone should feel obligated but if you have a relationship with them then that's different.

    I'm having his sister in the wedding party, which wouldn't be my first choice of people, but it really is about bringing families together so I decided it would be best. He has my brother on his side too. Neither are going to bachelor/ bachellorette parties though.

    Nope. I barely know his family, and he didn't have any interest in me having any of them up with me. He may have one of his sons as a groomsman though. We had planned for his daughter to be a bridesmaid but not anymore
