Help with placing people in my bridal party

Hi all! I have someone in my bridal party who I originally asked to be my matron of honor which has proven to be not a great fit. They are also going to walk with the flower girls down the aisle which are their daughters because we don’t have enough groomsmen. With that being said does anyone have...
Hi all! I have someone in my bridal party who I originally asked to be my matron of honor which has proven to be not a great fit. They are also going to walk with the flower girls down the aisle which are their daughters because we don’t have enough groomsmen. With that being said does anyone have advice on how I can rearrange or nicely ask them to be another part in my wedding?

    That’s also a great point! Plus I can just put her wherever as needed. She probably won’t even notice haha! So let’s hope

    Best of luck to you! I had similar issues with FH's sisters wanting to be BMs. Personally, I value my mental health way more than any etiquette, so my answer to this wildly opposes PPs. However, it took me more than 2 years of therapy to reach this point. It's a difficult process but I hope you get here one day. This planning process will give you the opportunities to practice.

    I wouldn’t tell her she’s not a moh anymore just let her have the title without playing the role and i liked the ide that someone else said have another moh and have the other girl be a co-moh

    I actually went through this exact same thing with my future SIL. I felt a lot of pressure from my soon to be BIL to put her in the wedding since he was the best man and I ended up caving and letting her in my part as my matron of honor. Sadly she started a lot of issues and tried to take over the wedding. She would tell other people how tacky my wedding is or how awful my ideas were and honestly just destroyed my mental health about the wedding. I talked to my fiancé and asked him his feelings and he said that this is my day and it's more important that I am happy. I ended up pulling her aside privately and talking to her and told her that I would still be okay with her being in the wedding but not as my matron of honor. I explained to her how she made me feel and we did end up in a disagreement but she later apologized and decided she actually didn't want to be in the wedding. My situation was lucky but if you don't feel like you want her in the wedding at the end of the day that is your day and it is important how you feel. Sorry you have to go through this.
