There appears to be a vital character in this story that is missing. Many in the thread have highlighted that the OP’s fiance is the person who is acting improperly.
You Have Fiance Problems

“NTA You don’t have a future SIL problem or in-laws problem. You have a fiancé problem! He should be asking the family to include you in conversations. He should ask his sister to keep away from you with her cigarettes.”
He Should Have Your Back

“He should have your back. He doesn’t.”
Put Your Relationship on Hold

The Community Agree

Several readers share this sentiment. The primary line between the nasty in-laws and the OP is her fiance. Therefore, they ask why he is not a more prominent story member.
It’s Disrespectful

She is the one with the authority to have OP’s back. It is very unfair that she is being treated with such disrespect, and he seems to be doing nothing about it.
He Should Challenge Family’s Behavior

This is a comment on how the relationship will manifest in the future too. If he is unwilling to challenge his family’s behavior, then he is enabling, which will inevitably lead it to get worse.
She Should Take Some Responsibility

There is a small section of the thread that suggests that the OP should take some responsibility for what is happening. It is not that they are suggesting that she is to blame for their terrible actions but for remaining in the ongoing situation.

“If they hate you that much, it’s probably for things he has told them about you. Open your eyes and move on!”
She Needs to Take Charge

Clearly, this reader knows that it is not OP’s fault. However, OP needs to take charge of her situation. She is walking into this situation with her eyes open, knowing that the situation is not good and is only getting worse. OP must acknowledge that this could be walking into a difficult situation.
The Heart of the Problem

The crux of OP’s situation is that she does not want her sister-in-law to attend her wedding. However, this is a futile attempt to deal with the situation.
Her Feelings Are Valid

“Soft YTA. Your feelings toward your fiance’s sister are valid, and you’re entitled not to want her at your wedding. But you can’t invite the groom’s sister and certainly can’t refuse to do so. Maybe exclude his third cousin who’s a bit ‘off’ but not a sibling.”
It Will Only Make Things Worse

This would not work. OP’s fiance has no issue with the way his family is acting. Removing his sister from the wedding will only make things worse, and it is ultimately not a good idea to try and exclude a close member of her potential husband’s family.
OP Is Immature – It’s a Petty Punishment

Many have suggested that the OP is quite immature about how she deals with the situation, even if she is not to blame. OP needs to accept that she should not be going to resolve the problem with such a petty attempt at punishing OP’s sister-in-law.
