No, you should have who you want in your wedding party. My personal opinion though, if you are close with your siblings it is lovely b/c you know that 10 years from now when you are looking at your wedding pictures you'd like to see faces of ppl who are still in your life. It also depends on the size of your wedding party. If you have very close friends that you would like to stand up for you there are other jobs you can have to include your siblings. They could do a special reading at the ceremony, if they can sing you could have them sing at the ceremony. You could also have your siblings co-MC the reception.
Try not to let family pressure you into doing things you don't want to. I spent so much time trying to make sure my family and my in-laws were happy that I ended up making myself sick b/f the wedding. I ended up with a stomach disorder caused by stress and couldn't drink champagne at the wedding and had to eat a bland dinner with Gatorade!
Enjoy the planning and let ppl know gently that it is your wedding.
Good luck and God Bless!

Its not a requirement. Your wedding party is usually composed of the people that are closest to the couple. If the sibling is close to the bride or groom, then go for it. If they don't want to part of the wedding party, they can take on another role, such as host/hostess, decorator, or help with other tasks. It is up to the couple and the sibling. Some siblings want to take an active role, while others just want to enjoy the wedding.

I didnt have a wedding party, my ceremony was small at a park with our parents and siblings. My sister got a corsage and we picked a dress out that she could wear that day that was like a bridesmaids dress and was the colors of the wedding. We also went and got our nails and hair and make-up done together

Nope! Your bridal party should consist of the people you feel closest to, who you want to stand up for you at your wedding, who support and love you the most.
One of my sisters has already told me that she doesn't want to be asked to be in my bridal party when I get married. She wants to be able to enjoy the event and my happiness, and she doesn't think she'd be able to do so as a bridesmaid. (Also the fact that she's older than me makes me think she just doesn't want to be bothered! *laughing*) Out of all my siblings, I would really only want my brother to be in my wedding party cuz we're very close.

Not technically a requirement, but in some circles they would think it peculiar if you did not have any siblings in your wedding party. They might think you have some kind of family rift.

No, of course not. There are no rules when it comes to weddings these days. If you're not close to him/her why would you want them in your party. It's your wedding...Have who you want and not what anyone else says. I'm planning on having my best guy friend to stand up with me since my boyfriend IS my best friend. My bf is planning on having his best female friend since I'm HIS best friend.

If you get along with them and conisder them close and dear yes invite them to be part of your special day. if not, then no, it is not a requirement. Remember, the day is ALL ABOUT YOU and your Fiance - but mostly the bride (haha). You want to be happy and do that by surrounding yourself with people and things you love and that make you happy!!! Good luck and enjoy!!!

Because my Dad wasnt in my life Im having my brothers walk me down the isle and my fiancee is having 2 of his brothers as groomsmen. I thinks it perfectly acceptable.

I won't think it a requirement, more so a preference. just depends on how you feel towards your siblings.
