Advice on how to ask Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor

Hi everyone!

So I have my best friend and my god-sister, I was MOH for my god-sister's wedding last year and I think there's a bit of an expectation that she'll be mine; long story short I'm looking at having both a Maid of Honor and a Matron of honor.

So the big question is: with Covid it's hard to see people in-person, what's a fun way to ask them but make it clear that it will be a shared role without offending anyone?

Thanks everyone!

My best friend sent us all proposal boxes and when I got it in the mail I sent her a photo of me opening it

I like that idea! I want to do something like that, I'm just not sure how to do it and tell them it's going to be a shared kinda thing

Do they know each other? You could facetime/ zoom them at the same time and have someone deliver them flowers or something like a proposal box at the same exact time. You could also send them a co-maid of honor proposal. Then they would know it's shared.

I mailed my bridesmaids personalized heart-shaped puzzles that asked them to be my bridesmaid, and they all sent me pictures of their puzzles in reply. I like the previous suggestion that if they both know each other, ask them both at the same time! If they don't know each other, maybe when you ask them, use the wording "Co-Maid Of Honor" or "Co-Matron Of Honor" (and then after they both accept, only use the "Maid Of Honor" and "Matron Of Honor" titles going forward)?

I would take them both out to dinner, and I would have individual boxes for each of them. You could prepare one single speech before they open their boxes and maybe on the inside of their boxes it’ll say maid of honor, and then the other one will say matron of honor or something like that. But I definitely think if you’re going to have both of them then you should definitely do the proposals to both of them at the same time in front of each other.
