Brides maid or Brides matron

I don't think there is a difference for bridesmaids. I think it's usually just for maid/matron of honor.

Really doesn't matter. All my girls were maids, even with one being married.

Great question!!!! I never thought of this and googled it. Bridesmatron was what I found.

I have a similar q about my maid/matron? of honor. She is divorced (seeing someone right now) and has two kids. Her ex-husband is deceased. Would she be maid of honor or matron of honor?

A Matron of Honor is the one who IS married and the Maid of Honor is NOT. To to sound mean or harsh but a Matron is a little higher than Maid, but they are all people that you love and want to surround you on your big day

According to Elizabeth Post, Dear Abby, and Miss Manners, a woman who has ever been married is a Matron of Honor, regardless of whether she still is. "Maid" originally referred to a virgin, or by extension an unmarried woman. And you don't go back to being a virgin. LOL

Fortunately, for bridesmaids, the title is the same regardless of marital status.

All of mine are married, so they are being listed in the program as bride's attendants.

Why not just call them brides maids? It's a sure way not to offend or Confuse people.

I didn't like using Matron for my BFF even though she is married and at the time had a daughter, now has 2 kids. I think it sounds like it should be used on someone at least 50+ yrs old. So she was just Maid of Honour.

@Tiffany M. ( Tiffany P.) that's how i feel. All but one of my girls is married they are bridesmaids, my maid of honor is married but i don't like matron of honor.

I have a Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor. The other girls will just be bridesmaids even if they are married.
