Sorority sisters as honorary bridesmaids?

I'm only having two of my sisters in my wedding. I wouldn't do the honorary bridesmaid thing. They will just feel like second tier bridesmaids. I may be giving our sorority flower out to my sisters attending my wedding but other than that they will just attend as guests.

There is no such thing as honorary bridesmaid. You're either a BM or you're not. They'll be at your wedding and probably your shower. That's really enough.

I think it's best to just invite them as guests!

I like @K.M am only doing sisters. My sister and FH sister for my bridal party. Like you, I have a few good friends but the honorary BM thing is horrible. I don't know who came up with it.

Have them attend as guests and any other pre-wedding events (shower, etc) you may have.

I like @K.M.'s suggestion of maybe having the flower to show that they are your sorority sisters. I've heard of the honorary bridesmaid thing with sorority sisters before, but you really do run the risk of offending people with that.

I wouldn't do "honorary BMs." It just comes across as a 2nd place distinction. And in the wise words of one Mr. Ricky Bobby, "If you're not first, you're last." Your sorority sisters will most likely take this as an insult, not an honor.

Instead, I would just invite them as guests and tell your photographer that you want to get a picture with all of your sorority sisters. If you have one of those cutesy hand signs or arm linking things for your chapter, do that in the picture.

FH and I plan to do something like this. We were both Greek and it means a lot to us.

You could also have your sister's pin your bouquet.

No. Don't make anyone be an "honorary" anything. It's rude, IMO. They're either a bridesmaid or they're not, which is an honor by definition.

So not only will you insult your sisters, cousins and best friends, but you'll insult your sorority sisters.

Just invite them as guest...

Don't do the "honorary bridesmaid" thing. Just don't.

Being a bridesmaid is an honor. Being a guest is an honor.

No honorary BMs please!
