Future Sister-in-law as Bridesmaid?

I had seen the exact title here from other future bride but my situation is different. So I decided to start another discussion and seek fellow Brides advises.

My Fiance will ask his brother-in-law to be his only groom because they are so close like brothers. On my side, I have 2 best friends which I want them to be my bridesmaids. Now the question is, since my future sister-in-law's husband will be the groom, should I ask her to be my bridesmaid as well? I am ok with her as we get along pretty well. At present, we already have 1 groom and 2 bridesmaids. Plus the future sister-in-law, it will become 1 groom and 3 bridesmaids. Is it kind of weird? I am really confused

It's up to you in the end. Neither of my sister in laws are in the wedding party but they have taken other roles, one will be co-MC & the other will be ensuring decorations are properly set up.
I like the even number look so I have 2 for each side (bride & groom)

I asked mine to be in my wedding party but because we grew a very quick bond together. You don't have to ask her. It is a nice gesture but I'm sure she would understand if you didn't.

After reading all the comments, I think I will invite her to be one of my bridesmaids. Like mentioned, I shouldn't think much bout the even numbers between grooms and bridesmaids.

Thank you all for the advises. Really appreciate it.

You don’t have to include her but I think it’s a nice thing to do. I’m in a similar situation and will be including my FSIL.

Don’t feel obligated! If you want her in the party ask her, but she doesn’t get an automatic spot!

I think you can do whatever you like but don't feel obligated because her husband is going to be a groomsmen.

I think do whatever feels right to you and don't worry about numbers.
If it is important to you, have her as a bridesmaid. However, if you're not that close, you can always ask her to do a reading at the ceremony and then sit at the head table with you as an honorary bridal party member.

I think it’s nice to include future in-laws especially when you are close. She could also be a grooms woman and be on your fiance’s side since they are siblings.

I think it should be whatever you like! Who's to say what's right or wrong? For example I have all my fiancé's siblings in my bridal party. But we are close. Must be a girl thing. Although my brother and him get along fine I wouldn't call him close but on account of us wanting all the siblings to participate, he has my brother on his side. We have uneven numbers as well, but I will cure my OCD by alternating boy girl in pics and just doing some more non traditional shots as opposed to all boys on side and all girls one side. Do what feels right for you! Don't feel forced
