MOH and Bridesmaid proposal etiquette

Jill, on November 22, 2015 at 10:10 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

I am planning on asking two friends to be in my wedding party--one as MOH and the other as a bridesmaid. They will both be in town for thanksgiving and I know that all of us will hang out together. Is it rude to ask both of them to be in the wedding party at the same time because one will be the MOH and the other will not?

    Do it separately. You shouldn't really ever ask your wedding party together.

    I would do it separate. Make it special for each one.

    I asked two bms together, but they were both my FH's cousins. If these are friends, I would ask them separately. That way there isn't as much pressure on them to say yes as others have said.

    I asked all of my girls together....I am not sure what the problem is with it either.

    I asked two of my girls together because I live in a different state and was having brunch with them on my last visit. They will both be bridesmaids though...I could see how it would be awkward to ask one to be the MOH unless it it universally understood that you are closer to one than the other.

    Wait! There's no reason you need to ask your bridal party this early. There's a million reasons to wait.

    What Shayna said. Not to mention that if both accepted separately they would find out eventually who was the MOH. Even still, I will probably ask my girls separate to avoid any awkwardness.

    @Zoe Not to thread jack, but I don't think there's no reason....my best friend and I got engaged three weeks apart, are both having weddings in 2017, we will both be MOH for each other, and are both SUPER happy we have that much notice to save up for a dress, etc. The best friends/family I asked to be BMs aren't going anywhere over the next year and a half. but now they can put away $15-$20 a month and have enough money for a dress and travel expenses.

    I would ask separately. It gives them a change to think, and decline if for some reason they need to. Generally, getting asked in a group, you tend not to get the same answer as you would individually. Same goes for when you eventually ask your BMs about a budget for the dress, always talk to them individually.

    It's too early.

    And ask them separately.

    I'm not getting married until 2017 and I already asked my man of honor and my bridesmen. I called them separately and asked. Not that they would say no though
