Be yourself! If they didn't think you were "up" for it, they wouldn't have asked you! Be charming, help the bride out as much as you can and stick close to the rest of the wedding party. Have fun and smile, you are gaining a sister-in-law! Congratulations :)

Of course you will stand out! in a good way. Your brother and sister-in-law to be would not have asked you if they didn't think you are an important part of this special day. There is nothing to worry about, you will look beautiful, and this is a nice memory for many years to come. Hey, you might learn something for when it's your turn in about a decade or two.
About who to hang out with, everyone will be so busy helping with the party that you will probably lose your shyness.
JUST HAVE FUN!

I was in my sister's wedding when I was 13 and it was a little awkward at first. Don't be nervous...you will most likely have rehearsal the night before the wedding and everyone will be told what specifically to do. Then at the reception, just hang out with your family...you'll be fine!!!! Just remember to breathe, and eat before the wedding!

Don't feel like you'll stand out. Your brother and his future wife like you just as you are, enough to ask you to stand in the wedding as a 13 year old. I'm sure if they wanted an older person, they'd have asked, but you were chosen....Don't worry about the older people, if your family is there, you'll have someone there to sit with and talk to....GL!

You will be fine. I'm sure you brother doesn't want you to make a fool of yourself. It may turn into a long and boring night, so be prepared just to sit and look pretty if you have to. But hey, your brother is worth it right?
As for standing out. You will. In a good way. Its the brides day and you will be a reflection of her. They asked you to do this because they love you and feel you are up to it. I know from your question that you will prove their trust in you right.

I was called upon to be part of a wedding party when I was that age. Don't worry so much about how you're going to act. As long as you act with dignity, tact and grace like any civilized person, you'll do well. Be very polite, smile, and just be your wonderful, friendly self. You'll do just fine.

First of all, you were asked to be a bridesmaid for a reason. Don't be nervous! You won't stand out, because it is the Bride's day. She will have all eyes on her.

Just be yourself. There are definite advantages to being the cute little sister!
