How to Include Sister and Sister-in-law in Wedding?

Amanda, on September 19, 2019 at 12:43 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8

Hey so we are trying to figure out how to include my sister and my fiance's sister in our wedding. We are doing small wedding parties and decided we wanted to ask our sisters (for multiple reasons) to do something special for the wedding that isn't being in one of the bridal parties. We are struggling with what we want them to do, though, as neither of them like public speaking so they won't do a reading.


Any ways that others have included special people in your wedding without being in the party? Thank you!

    We are having my sister be escorted down the aisle (like the mothers) before the bridal party comes down

    My future sister in laws and stepbrothers will have a reserved seat at the ceremony but I honestly feel that’s enough. I may do bouts for my stepbrothers.

    I'm not including my fh half sister because she is 10 years younger than us, but like the idea of special seating. My fh sister in law isn't in the bridal party because we aren't super close but also we plan to have all three of her kids and her husband in the wedding as flower girl, and ring bearers and best man. So I feel like asking her to help with my day along with helping everyone else in her family get ready will be too much. Plus I know there will be a lot of attention on her already with having adorable kids in the wedding.

    Same! My brother and his wife (and my niece) walked down the aisle in between the guys and the girls. You could have the sisters walk down the aisle together (maybe even with a single flower?) to honor them as family without giving them a high pressure role.

    They could hand out programs or ask people to sign the guest book.

    They could do a reading in the ceremony, prayer prior to dinner, be bridal attendants, etc
