Matron/ maid of Honor

Hi All! I’d love any advice you can give.

I just got engaged 3 weeks ago!💖 I know exactly who I want to stand by me on my big day but I want to make my sisters and friends bridesmaid proposal gifts. Here’s my question, I’ll have 5 women in my wedding. Two of which are married(best friend , and oldest sister) how would I word their gift? Do I put both of them as matron of honor? Do I make them both co-matrons of honor, do I make one the “main” matron of honor and the other “co” ??
And here’s another question.... if I have two matrons of honor but I want another gal to be my maid of honor? Is that too much? I’m just lost and don’t want to sound stupid when I send this stuff out.
Thanks for your help! -Victoria

Congratulations on your engagement and welcome to WeddingWire! Ultimately, you can do things however you want to. Do you want both of the married women to be matrons of honor? Married women can still be regular bridesmaids. I would just figure out which girl(s) out of the five you want to honor specifically and have as more than just a bridesmaid, then go from there. I asked my older sister to be my maid and matrons of honor (one is married, the other isn't) and my FSIL to be my bridesmaid.

The married women can be bridesmaids or matrons of honor. There’s no tiers when it comes to being a maid or matron of honor, they’re equal.
I personally think that making over half of your bridal party a maid/matron of honor kind of takes away from the honor part.

I'd probably just pick one or two. I have a party of 4. And tbh I'd be down with having 2 MOHs. [Matrons in this case.] But making half the party MOHs seemed a little awkward to the 1/2 that wasn't "honored". So I picked my longest and closest friend.

I wouldn't do more than two. I have a matron of honor (my sister) and a maid of honor (my best friend). I did this because my sister and I are not super close and she lives on an entirely different continent. I knew my best friend would be doing a lot of the work so I wanted to honor that.

I had two maids of honor and when I listed their roles on my program I just said Maid of honor.

Thank you Amber, I appreciate the help! I now at least have a better idea of how I’ll do things! I just didn’t want to sound silly if I sent the wrong verbiage when I send the gifts out.

Thank you, Taylor! My two best friends will probably end up being my matron and maid of honor. Love my sisters dearly but we aren’t super close. (Huge age gap) however I still want them by my side. They mean the world to me regardless of how close we are.

Just do "Bridesmaid", "Maid of Honor", "Matron of Honor", etc! "Co" and "Main" may make it too confusing or inadvertently hurt feelings! Best of luck!
