Ok heres the deal...I am feeling very selfish and guilty right now. I invited 6 close girlfriends to be in my wedding party several months ago when I first got engaged. Over the last few weeks though...I have started feeling really guilty about not inviting my 14 year old half-sister to be a bridesmaid as well. You could say that in my excitement of choosing the girls that I kind of forgot about her because we have never been really close. However, I feel soooo guilty because it is my dad and stepmom that are paying for our wedding (her parents). I am ordering the dresses tomorrow....I am already very close to that deadline and have to do it then. Should I ask her? I feel like I am disappointing my parents by not although they haven't said a word about it. Please help!!! I know that traditionally the sister is involved but I don't want a last minute invitation to be awkward for all of us either. I don't know what to do...I just want to do the right thing.

Dear Jessica:
Seems like a talk with your dad is in order. Tell him how you feel and ask his advice.
There is no rule that states you must ask family members to be a part of your bridal party however, many brides do choose their closest family and/or friends.
In the end it is your decision and only you know the personalities of the members in this situation. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
