To Bridesmaid or not to Bridesmaid?

Ok so my sister and I have a semi-rocky relationship, but her daughter will be both my ring bearer and flower girl for my marriage. "Duck" will be the only child there for the ceremony. Her sister, "Blue Jay" will be watched by a sitter I plan to hire for all the other kids since I don't want children at the ceremony. My question is should I ask her to also be a bridesmaid since I'm using one of her daughters and basically banishing the other?

    You do not have to ask her to be a bridesmaid just because her kid is in the wedding.

    Only ask your close friends/family to be bridesmaids.

    If you have to give a second thought as to whether a specific person should be asked to be a bridesmaid then that's a pretty good sign that they're not a close friend and you should not ask them.

    You should not use one sister and not the other as the children will not understand this (unless the younger one will be too small to remember). It is not nice to be deselected and will cause only resentment by several parties. Do not do this except by agreement with everyone concerned.

    Out of pure politeness I would say yes. You are blood and you are using her daughter in the wedding. Just ask and hope she says no - Hah!
