Maids of Honor

Issy, on February 15, 2021 at 1:38 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Hi Everyone,

Im after a bit of advice on my Bridesmaids/Maids of Honor situation. For context, my fiance and i are having 3 groomsmen and 3 bridesmaids and a guest list of approximately 100 people, wedding is in Australia. My 3 bridesmaids are all women who i have been friends with since childhood, 2 of them 'Q' and 'L', i went to high school with where we became and have since stayed inseparable as a group of 3. The other, 'R' i have known for longer, although we drifted apart as teens and have become close again as young adults. 'R' and 'L' were very close as young girls and had stayed in contact as we all moved away from home to study, however their friendship became somewhat more distance a few years ago, the circumstances of which are not relevant here. 'Q' and 'R' do not know each other very well, and have only socialized together with 'L' and myself.

The 3 get along fine when they are together, and there is no issue with them all being bridesmaids.

My problem:

I cannot choose between 'L' and 'Q' to be my Maid of Honor, i have equal love and respect for both of them. This is problematic as i do not feel it fair to make them both a Maid of Honor while 'R' is then the only bridesmaid. So do i make all 3 my 'Maids of Honor' or keep all 3 as my Bridesmaids and not have a Maid of Honor?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

    I just wouldn’t have a maid of honor. Are any of them married ? Then you can have a Matron of honor and a Maid of honor.

    I would skip titles & have all 3 as bridesmaids. That way there’s no hurt feelings.

    I would just not have a MOH. There isn't a rule that says you HAVE to have one, and having all three as bridesmaids ensures there aren't any hurt feelings.

    I agree with others. I would just keep them as bridesmaids and not have a MOH.

    Once you hit 3, “moh” doesn’t feel like much of an honor anymore; and I’m with you — I wouldn’t want only ONE girl not to get the special role

    Make them your brides Maid or just say your bridal party with no titles. Don't start the drama, give them each something to do for you through out the process and day of the wedding. Try to make it somewhat equal but if someone can do a task better than give it to that person without bringing up they would be better at that task.
