I have 3 little sisters, im getting married next year. By then my sisters will be 22, 19 and 16. I was planning to ask my 22 year old sister for sure, and most likely my 19 year old sister as well. But really feeling nervous and sad about my 16 year old sister. She's the sweet, quiet sister that really looks up to me and im scared her feelings will be hurt. The reason why i wouldnt pick her is bc of the obvious, she's only 16 at the time of the wedding. Suggestions??? I also am going to text my mom about it and see what she thinks before i make any final decisions. And fingers crossed that she also wont be upset.

    I love that you want to include her and are taking her comfort level into consideration. A bit out of tradition but why not have her walk alone or with the flower girl/ring bearer? Just a suggestion for a different idea to have her still be a bridesmaid and taking her comfort level into consideration. But I also agree with some of the ladies above, ask her to be your bridesmaid still and then talk about if she’s comfortable walking with someone older than her or if she would rather walk alone or come up with another solution. Happy planning!

    You could possibly have her as a junior bridesmaid or make up another designated role for her. Maybe a hostess

    So I included my sister in my bridal party and she’ll be 15 at the time of the wedding. She understands that she can’t be with us all the time because she’s younger but I try and make sure she’s included where it’s appropriate.
