How to inform someone they are not in a wedding without hurting their feelings?
My brother is getting married, and he and his fiance asked my fiance and I to be in the wedding (bridesmaid/groomsman). My brother asked our other brother to be his best man, and his fiance asked her daughter to be the maid of honor. My brother's wife is assuming that she will be in the wedding party, however, they are not asking her. They are only having one bridesmaid (me) and groomsman and the maid of honor and best man. How do you inform someone they are not going to be in a wedding without hurting their feelings?

Leave this up to the bride and groom. I would not get involved. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Thank you for your response, and I appreciate your input. However the reason I am asking is because the bride and the groom asked me to help them with this.

It really is the bride's place to handle this. She puts you in a very difficult position.
I really couldn't offer any advice on how to do this properly since it is really the bride and groom's place to invite, or not invite, these people to be a part of the wedding.
But, I suppose, if this person were to ask you directly or mention her participation directly, you could say something that would suggest that you did not hear that she was invited and suggest she speak to the bride.
