Am i 'weird' for not having a Moh?

Maritza, on July 24, 2019 at 1:09 PM Posted in Planning 0 17


I will only be having 3 bridesmaids. They are the only ones that I can see by my side on this important day. But I cant pick just one to be my MOH! Would I refer to them as all my bridesmaids? or would they all be my Bridesmaids of Honor? (lol)

Are there any other brides that have gone through this already or planning on not having a MOH in their upcoming wedding?

    I think it makes sense you didn't choose one specifically then to be your MOH if that's the case. At the end of the day it's just all a title and they're all there to support you on your day Smiley smile and their roles aren't any less important cause of titles

    I couldn't choose so I made all 3 of mine MOH's! Who decides what's right or wrong? That's JMO.

    You're not weird at all. Especially since I have three bridesmaids and no MOH. I felt they all should feel equal in that no one was favored over the other.

    Agreed!!! How awesome is that!! Maybe if there were more bridesmaids I might feel like I need to pick just one to kind of ‘lead the pack’ but there are only 3.
    Thanks for responding.

    I’m kind of in the same boat Maritza! I have 5 including my daughter but my 3 best friends/sister are all equally important to me! I may have the two married ones be matrons on honor and the other 2 be maids of honor? I don’t want anyone to feel slighted! It’s tough so I understand completely!

    I had 3 bridesmaids and no MOH. I didn't want to choose one over the other. They worked well together planning a couple's shower for us and my bachelorette party. When it came time to choose the order for the processional and where they would stand at the altar, I chose based on the length of time I had known each girl with the one I knew the longest standing next to me.

    Oh wow! Thank you for your input! I was thinking of lining them up based on who I knew the longest too! I am so happy to know I am not alone when it comes to this 'non-traditional' way.

    Thank you for sharing!

    I like your idea Brittany. I, too, didn't want anyone to feel like they were less important that the other. To be honest, I also didn't want anyone to have the added stress of being the MOH. I was feeling a little weird because there are some things that are just done a certain way, and now I am realizing that I can do it MY WAY if I choose to.. I'm so happy that I made this thread because I feel a lot better about it.

    Thanks

    I hear that! That makes sense. I am so happy to know that I am not the only one that is getting away from the 'traditional' wedding party set up.

    Thanks !

    I am not having a MOH. I am just having 2 bridesmaids and a bridesman. So that is what they are being called. I just did not feel like singling any one person out when I love everyone in my bridal party.

    Same! I am having my 3 daughters(all grown) as bridesmaids and my 12 year old stepdaughter as my jr bridesmaid. I couldn't designate just 1 of my girls to be maid of honor, it would be like picking a favorite.
