Do I have to ask my Future Brother In Law's girlfriend to be my bridesmaid ?

Tina, on May 25, 2017 at 12:13 PM Posted in Planning 0 25

She and my Future Brother in Law have been dating about as long as my FH and I have. We aren't that close but she will be attending everything. Does she have to be in my wedding party or can I just invite her to everything?

    Nope. Invite her as a guest.

    Agreed, as nice of a gesture it is it's not needed. Invite her as a guest. Instead invite her to everything else maybe? like Bach and shower party?

    If you are not close, I would avoid asking her to be in the WP.

    I wouldn't be asking anyone at this point since your wedding is still about year and a half away. Relationships may change. Things change. But to answer your question, no, you don't have to ask anyone that you don't want to ask. There aren't really rules to it. Ask who you're closest to!

    No. If they break up, your wedding pictures may be a constant unpleasant reminder. Invite people who are related to you or him or your friends

    Nope. Only include people you genuinely want by your side on your wedding day. When you ask people out of obligation, it ends up with a "HELP! Bridesmaid DRAMA!!!!" post on WW.

    Nope. She's can be a guest. You have no obligation to her or your FBIL.

    Don't have to at all. I still feel bad that my brother asked my then bf to be a groomsman, he accepted and we broke up a few months after the wedding.

    No. Invite the very few people who are closest to you.

    No. And I would wait a long time before you ask your wedding party as so many things can change over time.

    ETA: words

    Since you are not close I wouldn't. I am not having in my bridal party the wives of FH groomsmen.
