I feel it isn't right that nobody from my family will be in the wedding party.

I just don't think it is fair that my relatives have offered help and been refused but my brother's gf's relatives can have involvement.
It's not a question of fairness. There isn't a 'right' and 'wrong' way for her to plan her wedding. It's her wedding and she gets to choose how she wants it to be. When you get married, you can handle your wedding any way you choose.

I'm confused as to why you're blaming the bride, anyway. She doesn't owe you anything. Actually, the groom doesn't owe you a spot either but blaming her for not involving you while not blaming your brother doesn't make much sense. It's his wedding too and he must not care whether you're in it or not.

A wedding is a celebration and I wouldn't mar the couple's big day with petty grievances. This kind of thing won't endear you to your future sister in law and I think it would be a mistake to get off on the wrong foot with her. I think you'd be wise to let it go and just enjoy the wedding without the pressure of any responsibilities.
