Matron of honor

Sheila, on June 22, 2019 at 6:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
I’m having a small ceremony of only 12 people. But my best friend will be there and she offered me to be my support in that important day (she knows I get overwhelmed easily😵). So I wanted to officially ask her to be my matron of honor. Is that too much? What is the actual role of a matron of honor? I don’t want to look silly since is only a ceremony + dinner. I will appreciate your advice. ❤️

    I don’t think it’s silly even though it’s a very small wedding, and I think she’ll be honored. The only real requirement of the MOH is usually to stand up there with you on the day and wear a dress/color you select (usually together). We are having a wedding a bit bigger than yours, initially a max of 28 guests, now 60, but I asked my best friend to be my MOH because she knows me better than almost anyone and she has helped me through a lot. Also, if I have an anxiety attack she is one of the few people who can calm me down. She’s planning a bachelorette and bridal shower for me, but that’s not required or essential.

    We had a MOH in a wedding of that size. All she has to do is stand up with you at the ceremony. Normally, a member of the wedding party would also wear a dress you chose. However, when there is only one person, she doesn't have to match anyone, so you could just work out together something that works with your color scheme (if you even have one).

    I think it's ok to have her as MOH even for a small celebration. They're there to be your support.

    Hey Sheila! Of course you can ask her to be your Matron of Honor. As the pp's mentioned, her only real duty is to stand with you during your ceremony. It's so kind of her to offer you support like this so if you would like her to stand with you, this would be a great way to show your appreciation.

    This is super cute. My best friend is my MOH. Our wedding is bigger than yours, but it's still nice to have your best friend by your side always!
