Ask bridesmaid to be new Moh?

Lindsey, on November 7, 2022 at 12:22 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5
I asked all of my friends to be bridesmaids/MOH a few months ago & everyone said yes. I choose my middle school friend to be my MOH even though she lives in Texas & our wedding is in Michigan. I was willing to work around the distance & anything else that may come up. Recently, my MOH told me that she felt she could not provide everything that a traditional MOH would do because of the distance & doesn’t not want to take away from my wedding day. We had a long talk about it & she’s right. I still asked her to be a bridesmaid but now i want another bridesmaid to be my new MOH. So my question is, how do I go about asking another bridesmaid to be my new MOH. It was hard for me to choose a MOH in the first place because it was a tie between 2 of my friends & just went with the friend I’ve known the longest for logical reasons. I’ve been overthinking my decision since I made it & now i feel this is a sign to choose the friend that should have been my MOH to begin with. I just want her to be excited & feel special without feeling like there was a bad reason i didn’t choose her first. I really regretted it & hope she understands i made a mistake.

    What about having co-maid of honors and keeping the original friend as one and asking the other friend to also be one? If the second friend knows you picked someone else already I'm not sure how'd you go about asking without causing some hurt feelings.

    If the second one already knows you picked someone else first, I'm not sure how that could be done without making them feel like second choice. The MOH doesn't really need to do anything extra, so I would just reassure your MOH that their presence and support is more than enough.

    Rather than demoting one person and promoting another, I would leave your longtime friend as MOH and ask the second friend if she would do you the honor of being co-MOH

    Also, if the second friend already knows you asked the first friend to be your MOH, I would address the situation by saying you really wanted both of them to be MOH and only chose the first friend out of longevity of friendship. But, the more you thought about it, you still really wanted her to be MOH, so you decided to have two of them.

    Hi Lindsey I had 2 MOH'S I first had my daughter's oldest and middle to be maid of honor's. So it was ok at first everything was going well until year well into planning that my oldest daughter decides to tell me that she can't be in the wedding anymore. I will tell you that I had to choose another person and I asked her with no problems she was excited and so was I. So planning went on as planned so dont be to hard on yourself in this wedding planning it always a twist and a turn
