Any siblings in the bridal party?

Will you have your partner's sibling(s) in your wedding party? If so, how will you include them in your activities-- parties, getting ready together?

    You were smart to put her on MIL- duty. You know what you need on the day!

    I asked his sister to be a bridesmaid, and his brother's girlfriend (they're planning on getting engaged BEFORE our wedding in September) so they're both going to be my new sisters. And I adore them both.

    I asked my FH sister to be a bridesmaid and my FH asked my brother to be a groomsman. Our entire wedding party is made up of family, mainly siblings and cousins. We will have people from both families as bridesmaids and groomsmen. Both of us have families that are really close, so I’m happy we’re able to include them and everyone gets along really well.

    No. We are keeping our siblings on our own sides.

    My fiancé is including my brother and his other brother in law (who his sister is married to) and I'm including my sister as a bridesmaid (but not my MOH- we both agreed we'd suck as each other's MOH and we're better off choosing our best friends Smiley xd ), but wanting to just have my FSIL just do a reading and not be a bridesmaid (she hates me and is really cruel to me). I told my fiance he doesn't have to include my brother but he insisted, and he also said it's totally fine for me to not include his sister even though he's including my brother, but his mom has other thoughts... it's a whole disaster honestly Smiley ups

    There's always someone who tries to use a wedding to fix relationships. Impossible. I'm a firm believer in boundaries and would rather not have your SIL speak since she hates you. She could also refuse. How about your brother on your side? Doesn't have to be a single gender entourage.

    I completely agree with you- there's also been zero respect from the FMIL and FSIL for me and what I want, especially after they treated me really horribly. So it kinda blew my mind that they both thought she should be included. I thought about that with my brother on my side! My fiance really likes my brother and gets along with him, and he wanted to make a point that he sees my family as family now, which I really do appreciate because they don't harbor anything towards him. I actually said she could stand on his side, but she didn't like that. Then I said she could do a reading and she again said no. So I've tried, we can't make everyone happy, and it's not my role when I've been treated so poorly by them!

    She must be fun! From my experience, it's great to get to know SIL's socially without brothers around.
