Co-MOH's?

Lauren, on September 27, 2017 at 10:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

I am unsure of the etiquette of asking two dear friends to both be my MOH. The bridal party would consist of only the two of them. One is my very best friend since HS, and I have already asked her and she has accepted. I also have a close friend that I'd like to ask, but I feel uneasy making her "just a bridesmaid".

What is the protocol for this and how would I handle telling them about each other? They do not know each other, and likely won't meet until the wedding since both live elsewhere (one in Louisiana, where I'm from, the other in upstate NY).

Thoughts? Advice?

    There is no protocol. They can both be Maids of Honor (not Maid of Honors) or you can have one of each- MOH and BM.

    I've seen two MsOH, and a MOH with a Best Woman. You could do what you want with it.

    Just ask them to both be your Maid of honor. There no real protocol

    What would be the difference between a MOH and Best Woman? I'm perplexed by that tbh

    I'd much rather they be Maids of Honor since the whole point is to avoid making a distinction between them since they are both equally important to me.

    I was 'just a bridesmaid' for my best friends wedding a few weeks ago. Basically I wasn't the person that held her bouquet during the ceremony. There were only 2 of us. I wasnt the one with the MoH title. I didn't feel slighted at all. I know out of everyone else, she asked us two to stand with her. That should be enough of an honor imo.

    How do I broach the subject of there being two with each of them? I already asked my best friend from HS and didn't mention it to her at the time because I was still unsure what I wanted to do about the other best friend.

    @Beachy, that is helpful! I'm glad to know that it didn't make you feel slighted, perhaps I'm just being overly worried.

    I have 2 "MOHs". My maid of honor (best friend) and my man of honor (brother).

    Just be honest and upfront and tell them you value both friendships very dearly and just can't weigh one more important over the other. I had two bridesmaids only with no distinction. They both ended up tag-teaming the toast during the reception and it was very sweet.

    Tell them there will be two MOHs?

    It's a conversation with your friends, not a hostage negotiation. This shouldn't be this difficult
