What is the difference between maid of honor and matron of honor? I have 2 sisters. One 19 and one is 10. Can I do both? That's if I am correct with the definitions of both.... lol

    Maid of Honor is unmarried and Matron of Honor is married. But even if both your sisters are unmarried your could still have two Maids of Honor.

    Maids of Honor aren't required to give a speech, if they're not comfortable with it. I can't imagine asking a child to give a speech.

    They can still be maids of honor, even if they don't want to give a speech. I wouldn't make them if it's something that makes them uncomfortable.

    Your 10 yr old sister would probably be a junior bridesmaid ;-)

    You can definitely do both and they can either split the duties or not do any of the traditional duties at all—whatever you want Smiley smile

    You could have your ten year old sister as "maiden of honor" which by definition is "a girl who assists the bride at the wedding", and your older sister as maid of honor.

    Out of curiosity, is the older of the two up to the task? Can she organize your bridal shower, bachelorette party, and help with almost literally anything else? The only reason I ask is because I would hate to see that your adult BMs had to do all of that, but get none of the recognition. Now, if you're going totally untraditional, that's cool, too.
