We are having my sister in law and my fiancé’s brother in law and brides (my)brother in our wedding party. Our question is where do they stand during our ceremony? I believe traditionally the sister in law should stand directly after the maid/matron of honor. Does this hold true for the brother in laws? Should they come directly after the best man?

The maid of honor stands closest to the bride (same with best man for the groom). The order beyond that is random.

I agree. The only ones who have a specific order are the best man and maid of honor. Otherwise, the order doesn't matter.

Some people order by height or by how long you’ve known them or by how close you are. But no one will know the difference.

I’ve never heard about any tradition of where siblings should stand. Only that MOH and Best Man stand closest to bride and groom.

There’s no etiquette that dictates where anyone stands during the ceremony besides the maid of honor and best man.

Like other people said, traditionally the MOH and Best Man are standing by the bride/groom and the order after that doesn’t really matter. I personally will be going by height, shortest to tallest.
