Ok I am having a dilemma and I don’t know what to do..!!! I am asking my girls this weekend. My sister in law will be my Matron of Honor & my sister my MOH... My FH will ask his brother to be his best man and his 12yr old brother and his 2 nephews (16 & 10) to basically be his “groomsmen”( he doesn’t consider them groomsmen but wants them to dress all alike and stand next to him smh lol). Anyways, FH also has another sister and me and her are not as close as the one I will be asking to be my Matron if Honor. Everyone is going to have a role except her, so I don’t know if I should ask her to be my bridesmaid so that she doesn’t feel left out!! We are not that close, but aren’t distant either...

what would you do???

    Unless you really don't like her and there is some strong animosity, I would include her. Both of you are only having family in the wedding party, at least that's what it looks like. I imagine she would feel like the odd one out if nephews were included and not her. However, you and your fiance would be a better judge of how she may feel than a stranger online. I just know if I were in her shoes, I'd probably feel a little snubbed.

    I agree with PP. If you can find a role for her, whether that be bridesmaid, grooms woman or something else, I think it will go a long way in her eyes. Normally, I would say that you should only have those who you want in the BP but it is an odd dynamic having all family but one sibling. What does your FH think?

    When I got married at 22, I was not close with my brother and am still not. My mother insisted he had a role, so we made him guest book attendant. It appeased my mother.

    I would say it's your bridal party and it's your decision... and I strongly believe that. I agree with finding a role for her, doesn't have to be a bridesmaid.
