Are your Fh's sisters typically in the bridal party + trouble picking bridal party

Im not having a bridal party but you can have as many people as you want in your party. and you also dont have to have a maid of honur if you cant decide. and you also dont HAVE to include the sisters in law either BUT it is a nice gesture

You should pick whoever you’re close with. If you’re not close with his sisters, they don’t have a place in your bridal party. There’s no “usual” size, it could be from 0-15. If you don’t have one specific person you feel that you’re closest with, you don’t have to have a maid of honor.

Thank you, all that makes sense.

When I got married the first time, FSIL was in my wedding party because we were close, but I did not have a MOH, just my 2 sisters and FSIL. This time around, I don't have any FSIL because we are not close. I have a MOH (best friend), my 2 sisters and a friend. Its really what you decide and who you want standing there with you and supporting you. Good luck.

I have my MOH, two cousins who are like sisters to me, and two close friends. I asked my fh if he wanted his sister in the wedding and he didn’t care either way so I chose not to. We aren’t that close and they aren’t either. I will admit I still feel weird or guilty about not having her in it but I’ll get over it.

I have one of my fh sisters in my wedding party. He has two half sisters. One from his moms second marriage and one from his dads second marriage. He is much closer to him moms daughter and she’s the one I'm
having in the party. The other sister I have only met once or twice and she doesn’t show much interest in my fh at all. The sister that I am having doesn’t have a sister for herself so now I’m her sister and I wanted her to feel that way. I have my three sisters, two friends, and my sil. I don’t think it would be so bad to not have all 3 of his sisters because they will have the chance to be in each others weddings.
I had a really hard time picking my moh. I wanted it to be friend A but I’ve known friend B for over 10 years and didn’t want to hurt her feelings. So I picked my middle sister. But then I felt bad about my other sisters too, but they had too much going on in their personal lives to pick up this too.
Keep in mind you’ll want to pick the person who is most reliable and can help you plan. Someone organized and who can gather the other bridesmaids to do the Bach party and throw a bridal party (if that’s what you will be having).

There's really no typical answers for these kind of questions. It should be who you're closest to, and not having people out of obligation. Remember, every person in your party ups the costs that much more (another bouquet to buy, another head for a rehearsal dinner, another thank you gift etc).
I had my new SIL because I'm close to her!

There isn't really a set number of people. Have whoever you want. I had my sister-in-law, but I am close with her and I only had 4 women total. My husband had my 2 brothers as well, even though he isn't as close to them as I am with his sister.

As far as which to pick for MOH, you can always have your 2 sisters be in that role together or have no one in the role, or really do anything you want. Again, there are no rules.

It really makes sense to have attendants on the side of the person they are closest to, not necessarily the side of the person of the same gender. So your FI's sisters could be groomswomen.

You can have as many or as few bridesmaids as you wish.
My FSIL will not be a bridesmaid. Shes an usher. Only one of his brothers is a groomsman. My other FSIL (who married in) wont be a part of the wedding, nor will his other brother.

I chose the bridesmaid I had been friends with longest as my Matron of Honor.

If I were in your shoes, I'd probably still make that choice or have 2 MOHs so you dont have to choose between sisters.

My fiancé’s sister got married a year after we met. She had already picked her bridal party and I was not in it. Her two brothers (my fiancé and his brother) were not in his wedding party either. She told me that if my fiancé and I had met sooner, I would be a bridesmaid. She is my Matron if Honor. HOWEVER...we have become best friends. If it were not for that close relationship we have, I probably wouldn’t of had her in my wedding party. I don’t think it’s necessary.

Pick whoever you are closest with! My sister in law had her two sisters as co maids of honor and that seemed to work well!

I wasn’t in my brothers wedding. Instead I was asked to provide ceremony music (music teacher,, here) and that was fine with me. My SIL had 3 sisters and wanted to include friends (as would I) so I totally understood her decision. Out who you want in your party.

Have who you want in your BP! You're not under any obligation to include certain people

If FSIL are not already among your closest friends, do not include them. They will know that they were chosen out of obligation, and you do not like or love them , as you do everybody else in the WP. It is not flattering to be asked, when you know you are the only ones not already close to the bride. Who likes feeling everyone else they are with is loved, and has an established relationship with you, except them? If the groom wants them, they can stand up with him. They actually have a bond with him . Not second best.

Two MOHs is a good idea.
