Maid of Honor

Guadalupe, on January 13, 2020 at 10:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 9
My sister and I don’t have the greatest relationship but I still would like her to be a part of my wedding... as a bridesmaid. Not the maid of honor. Is this ok? Am I obligated to make her my maid of honor?.. or... help!

    I have a complicated history with my sister, there was a time where I did not think that I was going to make her my MOH. Our relationship has gotten better over the past for years and no matter what she is my sister and I will always love her. I did make her my MOH, but I also let her know that if she’s not behaving how she needs to be behaving then she will get the boot.

    Do what you want. I have 2 sisters, and I chose one of my sisters as the MOH and the only one on my "bridal party". My other sister is only a guest.

    You're not obligated to do anything you don't want to. My sister had a rough patch for awhile, so I chose her to be a bridesmaid. She's still very helpful and hasn't had a problem with it at all.

    Definitely not obligated to have her as your maid of honor!

    There is no obligation to have your sister in the wedding party at all. And if you do want to her, she can be BM or MOH. There is no should or should not, on this issue. I am very close to 3 of my 4 sisters, and the two of my brother's near my age.( Other two not available.) And did not have any of them. All happy about it. We did a lot of things together. But I wanted other women from different times and places in my life, for WP People I might not always be as close to in the future, as I always will be with my family. So 3 friends, and my Godmother .

    This will be my second wedding. For the first, my sisters and FSIL were part of my wedding party, but they were all bridesmaids, I did not have a MOH - my bestie was still in school, so I opted out of that. This time around, my bestie is my MOH and my sisters are still just bridesmaids. So no, there is no obligation to make siblings MOH.

    A bridesmaid is fine, my sister is my bridesmaid and my bff is my MOH. My sister also had me as a bridesmaid rather than MOH at her wedding. We’re not close, I wasn’t even invited to her bachelorette party and she declined coming to mine. We agreed that we will be each other’s bridesmaids but anything other than coming to the wedding in a specific dress and standing, there is nothing we asked of each other. (Tbh we were just in each other’s wedding parties because our family would have a conniption any other way)

    No, you are not obligated to do anything. She does not need to be your MOH.
