Is Two Maid of Honor ok?

Shonda, on August 17, 2017 at 6:42 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 25

I originally had 1 matron of honor and 1 maid of honor but my matron of honor is now going thru a divorce. With my wedding still a year out, her divorce will be final by then. Now i don't want to demote my original maid of honor to bridesmaid to make my matron of honor maid of honor. So I want to have two maid of honors but I only wanted these 3 particular people in my bridal party. I liked when everyone had their own title but now it seems weird. I know it's my wedding and I can do what I want but would it be too weird to have 2MOH and 1 bridesmaid? (Remember 3ppl total in bridal party)

    Yes, that's perfectly fine. Matron just means she's married, Maid means she's not. That's the only difference. A lot of people have two MOH's.

    Yes, I know the technical definition. It seems like 2MOH when it only 3ppl is weird. Like all 3 should have the same title now.

    2 is fine. I was going to have 2 maids of honor as well but one of them is getting married next year! So she will be matron of honor now. Only having 3 in my party, matron, maid of honor, and 1 bridesmaid. You can literally have this any way you want. Just make sure its truly your nearest and dearest up there next to you!

    You could make every one in your bridal party maids or matrons of honor. There really isn't anything that says you can't.

    I don't see a difference between this and having one matron of honor and one maid of honor.

    You can't demote someone from their role in a wedding. I wouldn't even bring this up to your friend who is going through the divorce because I'm sure she has a lot bigger things to worry about and isn't going to want it thrown in her face that she will have a different title due to her divorce. I also have three people in my bridal party and I chose not to give any titles because none of them are related to me and if one is given a special title the other two might feel like they're less of a friend. If you already gave them the titles then do not change anything maid/matron of honor is basically the same thing and I'm sure your friend who is a BM will understand the situation.

    YES! This is one of the few times the phrase "its your day" actually works! Its your day have who you want up there with you and call them what you want. I could not choose between my four BMs so they all are sharing the BM title.

    I am having two moh. We are splitting the "duties" between the two ladies. And by duties I just mean standing closer to me at the ceremony and signing the marriage certificate, etc.

    Do whatever you want and call them whatever you want. This stuff really isn't a big deal at all. My friend had 4 girls in her party and she called ALL of us maid or matrons of honor.

    I have a matron & a maid of honor, but even if one wasn't married I would have both of them as MOH's they're both equally has important so I couldn't pick between the two. If you want them both, have them both.
