Hi There,

I am inclined to say not too, particually as you have close friends that will likely forfull the roll. An exception to that would be if you have a brother that is a groomsman in which case you should include the sister in law. Perhaps she can be a witness instead, that still requires her to be up the front for a small time and I think it is quite an honour. Or failing that she could read a poem at the ceremony.

Good luck and I hope your wedding is everything you hope for

Hi There! 

I believe it is a personal decision in asking your sister in law to be apart of your wedding.  If your not close to her and decide not to ask her, there are other ways you can include her to be apart your wedding day. You can include her in a special reading during the ceremony or a toast during the reception. Any small gesture that you may think might be meaningful for her.  I do say, do what makes you happy :) Best of Luck for your wedding planning! x
