Moh?

Nicole, on February 26, 2020 at 2:56 PM Posted in Planning 0 18

Has anyone NOT picked a Maid of Honor? I have two sisters, and he has two that I'm close with. Of course I want them all in my wedding party, but don't think I can pick any one person to be MY person. Thoughts on potential problems that may arise if I went that route?

    I think it’s ok to skip even having one. My husband didn’t have a best man. He just kept them all as groomsman

    I've been to weddings where there were two Maids of Honor. Can your sister be your maid of honor?

    You could always pick both your sisters! Honestly my sister was butt hurt I didn’t pick her but at the end of the day she’s still apart of the wedding.

    From my experience as a bridesmaid (only twice), the MOH really takes charge of things. Such as planning the bachelorette and/or bridal shower, initiating group texts for other information, etc. So not having a MOH may be an issue for things like that. Can you make them both MOHs?

    When my best friend got married, she couldn't pick between me and another girl (her other best friend) to be the MOH, so she just didn't have one. I planned the bridal shower, she planned the bachelorette.

    I chose 2 MOH's! My Best friend since high school, and my cousin who I grew up in the same house with who is basically like my big sister! In addition to them, I have 7 other BMs... Excessive? Probably, but I always have been "extra".

    As was mentioned, the only drawback I see is there would be no one person to plan things. But I think if you're okay with asking them to plan specific things then you can just skip it altogether. If you think you'd like them to plan on their own without asking then maybe just have 2 MOH's?

    I only have 2 bridesmaids total I just skipped the MOH title completely. They just work together when it comes to planning things.

    I would skip it then.
    I have 3 sisters, but one is only 12 (will have just turned 13 the week before we get married) so she was fine with being a jr. bridesmaid. I made both my sisters my Matrons of honor

    Totally fine to skip having a MOH, my wife didn’t have one either and we had no issues.

    I didn't have a MOH. I love all of my friends and did not want to single any of my bridal party members out as a MOH. So I just had bridesmaids and bridesmen!

    I’m not picking one. I was going to have my son who is 12 my man of honor but my fiancé asked him to be in his wedding party. Both of my bridesmaids are in other states too

    I have 2 daughters & 2 best friends as bridesmaids so I’m not picking a MOH. No best man either.

    I am not choosing a MOH. I actually hate the tradition of choosing a MOH. It basically forces you to rank your friendships. I love all my friends dearly, and do not want any of them to feel “less than” anyone else.

    I’m having two, but I also seriously considered not having one. I don’t think it’ll be an issue if you skip it.

    I have 2 for that reason. I couldn't choose and they are doing everything together.

    You can pick both or no one. At my friend's wedding, we were all bridesmaids and no one was a maid of honor. It actually made me feel better that she wasn't picking one person over another/me.
