alaskaintexas tells us more.
Her maid of honor is already married, and she's not getting married for the second time. I just married her brother. And btw, I'm planning her wedding with her mother, not her.

Some friend you got there
Wow, that's great! Congratulations! I'm soooo happy for you. Thanks for the offer, but we will be on our second honeymoon. Wow, how lucky you didn't need me in the wedding party, I'd have felt bad turning you down.

Yes you are invited to the wedding. Yup, your seat will be in the back (I hope its not) and you will serve the guests their punch. I think I would go but not serve guests their punch....they can pour their own cup. Its not difficult.

Its still a good thing to go, meet up with friends n family, have a free dinner and dancing. Just dont go out of your way to do ANYTHING for her. Ever again.

The punch would be during the reception and as everyone goes to the punch it's a guaranteed socialization spot, with the redponsibility of being the party pooper that keeps the kids out of the spiked punch bowl. I call it a draw.
It isn't 'free' No. 35. Guests are expected to provide a gift to the happy couple and most people try to give something nice, or at least I hope they do.

So ... Um... there isn't anything you'd like me to... Um... Do? Right... Um serve punch eh? I guess I could uh... Do that... so you're sure that's all you need from me? At your wedding... What ? What's that you say? You'd like me to... Make ****** sandwiches! Oh he'll no biotch! Wait... What's that? Oh **** please don't cry... Oh hell... I'll get right on dem sandwhiches mam. ****
What... the ****... Did you just... ******* say? And why did.... you have to make... Two ****** up comments... Like this? And... Why the ****... Do you type... Like that? ****...
36 - The joke was not funny the first time you posted and it is even less amusing the second time you posted.
As hard as it sounds it's her choice. Still, I understand how you feel. YLS, but you should let it go. Making her the maid of honor for your wedding doesn't mean you will be the maid of honor in hers.
On the plus side: No need to buy an ugly, nasty, expensive, dress you can never wear again (marsh green, raspberry, yellow, I have worn them all...) No need to help plan the shower (or spend money on it) or the bachelorette party (or spend money on it.) No need to do anything on the wedding day except wear what you want, get a HUGE cocktail of your choice (next to the punchbowl) and start shoveling out the punch while gossiping to your family and friends about how the skanky bridesmaids all looked like three dollar hookers. I have been a bridesmaid many times and after the last $200.00 shower (and that was AFTER the cost was split up amongst the bridesmaids) am so cynical, I will only do it for a genetically related family member (sharing chromosomes on the first level). Maybe your SIL saw that you were having some money troubles or stress issues and wanted to do her/your brother a favor and leave you out of the stress. Just think, Bridezilla might be very kind after all. Or she might be a total bitch, but either way, you are out of the drama and have a helluva lot more money and free time. If anyone asks you for time/money contributions, just say, well, I don't see why I should because I'M NOT ACTUALLY A BRIDESMAID!! (SUCKERS!)

Who said the dress had to be ugly ? ..

Bridesmaid dresses usually are ugly. Since OP is not participating in the actual wedding, she is free to wear anything she wants.
Most brides (at least in my state) put the bridesmaids in dresses that make them look as hideous as possible so that they can look even MORE AMAZING! I live in Jersey, though, Bridezillas in other states may be kinder. At my last wedding, the dress I was wearing gave me the shape of an eggplant. The bride looked really THIN, though...

It was her friend. Not her sister in law/brother.

Whoops! I read all the comments and thought it was just a friend. In that case, I get the feeling that because this is OPs sister in law, she feels that they automatically have some kind of connection. It takes much more than that to build a friendship worthy of MOA.

I agree. I was just the maid of honor for my sister in law in the wedding from hell. Well $1000+ (just what I spent on ugly dress, tuxes etc) later she just acts and says its like it never happened. What a waste!!! Elope! Elope! Elope! It's the least selfish thing anyone could ever do.

You've heard of the proverbial "turd in the punchbowl." I'm not saying that making it literally true will be great revenge for the snub. I'm jus' sayin'...

Maybe she isnt having a bridal party. What if she can't afford hired help so she's asking people who would normally buy a ridiculously expensive dress and stand next to her to do random tasks to help her out. Some friend you are being by complaining about it. Did you bother to ask her any of the details of her wedding? Planning weddings are stressful enough without so-called friends complaining about the decisions that the bride makes.

If you cannot afford the wedding you want, you don't have the wedding you want. You don't ask guests to act as hired help.
