I have two sisters and two best friends who I would like in my BP. FI has four very, very close friends that he would like to use; they are all in each other''s weddings and it''s like a tradition now. The problem is that I have a brother and FI has a sister (both in high school) who, using that formula, aren''t in the BP. My brother can be an usher, which is a fairly significant role as he gets to have a tux, but FI''s sister wouldn''t have a role. She''s very into theatre and drama, so I would definitely have her do a reading, but....that doesn''t seem special enough. I would love to have her in the BP, but a) FI would rather not use my brother, not because they don''t like each other but because they don''t know each other very well, and if I included his sister than my brother would be the only non-BP sibling and b) I''m already a little iffy on an 8-person BP and would rather not expand it to 10 - we''re only having 100 people and that would make the BP 1/10th of the invited guests. And his sister, being only 16, wouldn''t have $$ to buy a dress and it would be a struggle for us to get it for her since we''re already stretching ourselves thin.
Any ideas? Should I just suck it up and have a ridiculously large BP? Or is there another role you can think of besides just "reader"? I could not use one of my best friends (or drop them both), but I love them both dearly and was in both their weddings and that would break my heart.
