Bridesmaids but no MOH?

I don't have a moh but I have 2 bridesmaids

Yeah that's what I am doing. I wasn't going to choose between the ladies in my life and go through possible hurt feelings. I am having 5 bridesmaids, no MOH.

I contemplated this myself, but ended up picking a MOH and Matron of Honor. I was in a wedding that the bride only chose bridesmaids, and then later on asked me if I would do a speech for her. It's all up to you! It's your day!

Think about what a MOH typically does - things like plan a bachelorette, hold the bouquet at the wedding, make a speech, and maybe most importantly sign the paperwork as your witness. If you don't name a MOH, who does those things? Do the BMs fight it out among themselves? Are they going to be expected to "pick up the slack" having extra duties a MOH would typically do, and if so, are you ready to be clear on who does what if no one volunteers? I think you should choose a MOH just so they aren't all looking to you to plan things that you shouldn't be planning, since there is no "leader" in the group.

I have 4 bridesmaids but haven't picked a MOH and don't think I will. It seems weird to "rank" my closest friends. I don't want a bachelorette or shower, which makes it easier.

I have 7 BM ( ) I wanted 3, but I didn't feel like dealing with hurt feelings. No MOH for me since originally I was going to have my 3 best friends as BM, and 3 MOHs just sounds weird lol

I think it could work, but agree with PP that it makes it difficult to figure out who is in charge of the typical MOH duties (speech, shower, bachelorette, etc.). Are your bridesmaids friends already? That might make it easier for them to plan things together/ split up duties. Otherwise it might be difficult with no assigned person to get the ball rolling on these things.

No cons. You cand absolutely have whatever kind of bridal party you want! My bridesmaids and 2 MOHs worked together on everything (2 showers, 2 bachelorette parties) and one of them wanted to give a speech. Another bridesmaid (DH's sister) gave a speech at the RD.

On a side note, there are no "assigned duties" - they offer to do these extra things, but they are not required. Please don't choose a "leader" so you can demand that your friends throw you extra parties! Also literally anyone (maybe a parent?) can act as a witness for your license, but lots and lots of counties/states don't require witnesses. DH and I didn't even sign it - just our officiant!

There are no rules. Have what you want.

I am having my 2 sisters and childhood BFF as Bridesmaids. I won't choose between them for MOH.

The pro is, you don't have to choose one to honor above the others, you don't have to worry about MOH dress.

Cons... you have to decide who is going to stand next to you and hold the bouquet during the ceremony??

The cons about who is going to plan parties is really problematic. you should never ask someone to be MOH with those expectations anyway. You aren't appointing a "team leader" for party planning. You're picking the best friend you have and honoring them.

I am doing this! I have four bridesmaids and no maid of honor, I just couldn't choose. There are no "duties" for a MOH, same as the bridesmaids they just have to show up so that should not be a concern. My amazing friends choice to throw me a party and they worked it out amongst themselves.

I have 4 bridesmaids and no MOH

My 3 sisters are my bridesmaids. No MOH.... didn't want to choose between them as I love them all! They are standing in order of age, so my oldest sister will be the one standing next to me and holding my bouquet.

They all three hosted my shower, and I have asked different ones of them to do other things. And they are fighting among themselves who "gets" to give a speech at the reception. haha

It is working great for me!

I don't see anything wrong with this.

I'm having five bridesmaids and no MOA. I didn't want to go through the mess of trying to pick. I love these five ladies and have different/beautiful/valuable relationships with each. I just couldn't decided

Yup, I have 5 bridesmaids, no MOH
