The problem with 'traditions' is that they vary from place to place, and even family to family. I had always understood that the bridesmaids came from your side (although it could be 'polite' to ask H2B's sister?). I certainly never even considered my husband's sister for a bridesmaid.
Would she be offended if she wasn't asked? Could you maybe have an extra bridesmaid if it is likely to upset anyone?

Thanks 
Yes it would be polite to ask her, and she is a nice enough person. I just had visions of me and my 2 bestest buddys having a lovely morning together getting ready and reminising of the bygone days of singledom etc - it sounds strange but it wouldn't be the same if there was an 'outsider' involved. I don't think she will be offended if i don't ask her. I will sleep on that one for a while i think |
