Do i have my sisters as bridesmaids 😳

It's completely up to you! For the most part in my experience I do see sisters being in the wedding party but if you don't want them, then let them come as guests. But from your post it seems as though that may cause drama since they are already assuming.


As far as 7, you definitely can have 7 bridesmaids if that's something you want. That's not too much at all! I have 6 total ( 2 MOH 4 bridesmaids) for our big wedding

Choosing bridesmaids can be tough! I say do what you want it’s your day and you should have the people that are going to make this process enjoyable around you that you couldn’t see your big day without…


I will say I was in a similar boat..I have 4 sisters as well and have my best friend as my MOH. I also ended up adding my 2 future sisters in laws which adds up to 7! Initially I always wanted a small party and only wanted my sisters and I thought 7 was wayyy to much but it’s doable and i rather include everyone!
Maybe if you include them in wedding party but make your best friends MOH? So they can help keep everyone in line and there is no drama about not having them in the wedding? But I’m all for choosing WHO YOU WANT…good luck!

Stand your ground and pick those you ACTUALLY WANT, not those " you're supposed" to have.
1) Not having the sis in the WP won't make your marriage unvalid.
2) You shoulddn't care what the what people say.Would you let them have a say on topics like Whether or not you should take your partner's name, How to call your future kids, When to have the 1st one, Who will be their god parents? NO!

If you don't want them ,don't have them, no matter what they assume.Kindly remind those who give an unwanted opinion whose wedding it is.My groom has his 2 sisters, as his best woman and groomswoman; he doesn't want to have my brothers, which is fine because he alone picks his side of the WP ... I don't want them as bridesmen either. My bros don't care (or at least they didn't throw a fit in front of us) but my parents assumed they would be groomsmen. We had a chat with them to tell them how things are going to be and that it's not a debate, nor an attempt to compromise.Don't let anyone make such an important call, not even your spouse to be.

Nobody gets an automatic ticket for one's WP, not even their bros and sis.

Plus: I'm 100000% sure they would cause drama and horror stories. One of them wants to be the MOH but if you have her as a bridesmaid? What if you give her this honor but the other 3 sis throw a fit because of jealousy? If they don't like the dress color, fabric or length?

I can already picture the bridesmaids' dress appointments, shopping, fitting turning into a living hell, filled with 1 million horror stories because of them. Seriously: good luck if you're adding them.

There's nothing wrong with having 7, in general. Some people have way more than that. But only of you want to. It's perfectly valid not to have them, especially if you're worried about their behavior. I would also worry that they'll make a scene at the wedding over not being asked. So it will be difficult either way. Choose only the friends who you know will be positive and supportive!

Nothing wrong with having 7 bridesmaids. Your bridesmaids should be those who you want to stand by your side while you get married. Do you honestly want your sisters up there with you? Do you think they'll be more of a help or a hindrance when you're planning and organizing the wedding. If you do, then there's no point in asking them.

Are they your BFFs? Are they part of your innermost support system/social circle that you go to first when you grieve or vent about your relationship with fiancé or celebrate a relationship milestone? If not, and especially since you mentioned they cause you stress, I would not ask them. There is no rule that siblings must automatically be bridesmaids, because not all siblings support each other.
