Stress Reliever- Talked to my sister about Not being in wedding party

Tips I would say is don't make it personal. I didn't make it about my issues I had with my sister and the actual reason I didn't want her in it. I phrased it so it would make her feel welcome still.

I said I have two sisters ( you and our other one) and he has two sisters, I feel I should have one of each and I am close with my sister Ashley and his sister Ashley. I see them regularly and they have helped me already with ideas for the wedding. I also have a few friends I would really like to have but if I have both my sisters I would need to have both of his and then I could only have one friend. Would you mind if I just had Ashley and then his sister Ashley and my 3 close friends? I would love for you to be there every step and wear a special dress and even be our MC if you would like.

I would say either way figure out another way you could include the person in the day of your event, even it was walking people down the isle to be seated before the ceremony starts, or helping move furniture day of, with bridal shower, just something that relates to the wedding and I think they would be happy

Good to hear it all worked out! Do you have any tips to offer anyone else who has to have a tough conversation like this with their friends or family? Any ways you phrased it or points you emphasized in order to protect her feelings?

I'm so glad that you gals talked and everything went so well! Good luck with the proposals!

Thanks Everyone! I was stressing hard about it before I talked to her, felt guilty for hiding it from her too. Got proposal boxes made on etsy for really good price and picking up Friday!

Glad the talk went well and you were both able to be honest! It's great when things work out so well and people can understand your decisions for your own wedding!

I'm glad it went so well!

I'm glad she was able to be honest with you as well that due to living arrangements and finances that it wasn't a good fit for her either!
