Wedding Invitations

If you have two sisters, think about making them your co-maids of honor so you don’t have to show a preference. Even if you are significantly closer to one than the other, remember that getting married is a huge milestone in your life, and it is important for family to be a significant part of it.

If one of your sisters is married, she could be your matron of honor and your other sister could be your maid of honor.

Even if someone included you in their wedding party, there is no rule that you must include them in yours. You are not required to use your wedding as the occasion for returning a favor to someone—unless you truly feel that he or she is extremely important or close to you.

To get some perspective on how many people to have in your wedding party or just on whom to ask, consult with your parents or any of their friends who were married a generation ago. Ask them how many people from their wedding party they still keep in touch with, and you may realize that your party is too big.
