Bridesmaid help

I am so torn. We are holding a small, intimate wedding ceremony with about 40 of our family members in February 2021. I don’t know what to do about bridesmaids. I have three girls in my life who are just about equal to me in closeness. My little sister (18 yo) & my two best friends (who don’t...
I am so torn. We are holding a small, intimate wedding ceremony with about 40 of our family members in February 2021. I don’t know what to do about bridesmaids. I have three girls in my life who are just about equal to me in closeness. My little sister (18 yo) & my two best friends (who don’t really know each other). I really don’t want to have to pick one of them as my maid of honor. I know my sister won’t really care, but I know if I choose one best friend- the other would be upset and vise versa. I kind of want to have 3 maids of honor and no bridesmaids... would that be silly?? Would it take away the significance of the title? They all mean so much to me and I’m close to each of them in a different way. I would be honored to have all 3 of them beside me on my special day. Any thoughts/opinions would be helpful!!!

    I feel like people put way too much significance on the titles. Just tell all three of them you want them stand next to you when you get married and would like them to do that. They don’t need any title

    I feel the same way about the titles- which I guess is why I’m having such a hard time!!!

    You have to do what makes you happy!!


    I was in the same situation, so I just asked my sister to be my maid of honor to simplify things!!

    I'm doing the same thing! I have two best friends who have been with me through thick and thin and a sister, and I couldn't choose. So I have three MOHs and no bridesmaids. It's all word salad anyway. Do whatever makes you feel good to honor the awesome women in your life!

    I just had no maid of honor at all because I didn't want to push the typical MOH roles on my girls, such as planning a bachelorette party and writing a speech for the wedding.


    I only asked a friend I was close to make a speech, while I another bridesmaid handle all the planning.
