I am thinking of asking FI's brother's wife to be a bridesmaid. I am not that close to her (mainly because we live on opposite sides of the country) but I really like her and I would love for her to be standing there with all of us.
However, she just had a baby. The baby will be one and a half years old at the time of the wedding. Is it fair to ask her to be a bridesmaid? I don't expect the bridesmaids to help with favors/etc/since they all live in different states, really all I want is for them to stand up with me. I just worry that she might need to attend to the baby during the ceremony, and it would be better if she was not standing up there so she could duck out if need be? Or is this generally not a problem? (obviously another family member would be watching/holding the baby during the ceremony!)
