Having no maid of honor?

Sara, on February 3, 2020 at 9:48 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4
Hi all so I have 2 questions. My fiancé and I are having a very small wedding. ( max 35 guests). We were thinking of not having a wedding party stand up with us during the ceremony. I have 4 friends that are my besties. And we are all friends together. I’ve already mentioned to them that I want them to be with me the night before and I want them to get ready with me the morning of. I want them to pick their own black dresses ( doesn’t have to be a stereotypical bridesmaid dress) just for sake of taking photos together after the ceremony. They have also told me they will be throwing me a bachelorette as I’ve helped with one and am the moh and am planning another one for another one of these ladies. So my first question is how do I go about asking them to be my bridesmaids and make it a point that they are all special to me and I’m not picking a MOH. And second how would you recommend going about the ceremony? I was just thinking of having reserved seats for them and they join the rest of the guests last? Thanks in advance.

    I wouldn't ask them to be bridesmaids if you don't want them to stand next to you at the ceremony. They can get ready with you without having a title.

    I just feel bad because I’ve been one persons bridesmaid and now the others maid of honor and they have already mentioned my bachelorette party. So I feel like they need some sort of title if they are willing to do everything a bridesmaid would do. Just not stand up with us?

    Plus I was thinking that why pick a maid of honor if they aren’t standing up there with us.

    I’m not having a bridal party but am having my 4 best friends get ready with me. I basically just have made sure to go out of my way to show my love and appreciation every step of the way. I bought them hosting gifts for the bachelorette and bridal shower and am giving them a gift at the Rehearsal Dinner.


    They’ve got all the trappings of a bridal but without any of the obligation.
