My brother is getting married next year. We have a big family so I understand it would be hard to include everyone in the wedding. They decided to only ask one of his two sisters to be bridesmaids. I understand that you should only ask people who you feel you are closest to, but should it be all or nothing?

No, it should not be 'all or nothing'. It should be who the couple feels they want standing by them during the ceremony. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings

I agree with Rhonda. There is no "all or nothing" rule here. How would that possibly work for those couples with large families? If the bride or groom is very close with one sibling, and not another, he/she should be able to select this one sibling. Even couples with one or two siblings have the option to invite only those closest to them to be a part of their bridal party. You should try not to be offended if you're not the chosen sister. Take the high road and allow your brother his choice without guilt. It doesn't have to mean he doesn't love you. It can simply mean that another of the siblings happens to be a better fit at the moment. Perhaps they have become very close lately or she lives nearer to him. Who knows...?

I am the sister that they asked to be in the wedding. I was just asking because I feel bad for my sister and didnt know if I should decline to save her feelings. We have a big family and I know it is hard to have everyone in the wedding (because I am getting married and I am having all of them), I just wanted to know the proper way to handle the situation. My brother and I are very close and I want to be in his wedding, but not at the expense of hurting my sisters feelings.
