My friend really wants to be bridesmaid at my wedding. I'd decided to just have one bridesmaid (fiance's sister) cause I've lots of friends and didn't want to pick, but now she is seriously putting the thumbscrews on and I don't know what to do. I feel fairly ambivalent about it... We're very close, she's lovely: everything I'd want in a bridesmaid. But I don't know now if I want her to be my bridesmaid because I'd like her to share my day, or if I want her to be bridesmaid cause she wants it. And if it's the latter then...well, I react badly to being manipulated, so it would encourage me not to ask!
Is there an advantage to having a best friend as a bridesmaid rather than a sister-in-law (well, actually it'd be as well as the sister-in-law)? I get on well with the sister-in-law, but I guess I'd not ask her advice or anything like that... In which case having a best friend as a bridesmaid would be much better...
Ack - help!

Then have 2 bridemaides.
There's normally 2.
And then u can get what u and ur friend wants.
Obviously cause ur friend is happy for u and for ur big day she also wants to be a part of it.
It wouldn't be too bad after all to have 2 bridemaides.

If you don't want two bridesmaids then don't let her pressure you. Have her greet people and get signatures at door
But personally I would go with the Best Friend and future sister in-law the signatures
