Multiple Maids of Honor

Stephanie, on June 4, 2016 at 7:21 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

Okay I need help. I don't have a sister and have been really stressed about my bridal party. I know you can go without having a maid of honor but I really don't want to go to that route. I have had 3 best friends since I was in diapers and by the time I'm married one will be married too..my thoughts are to have them all as I could never leave on out. Is it weird to have 2 maids of honor and 1 matron of honor?! Would love input!!! Smiley smile

    My two best friends of 25+ years are my co-matrons of honor, and I wouldn't have it any other way! You'll get a lot of suggestions, though, that you want another 6-9 months before asking anyone to be in your bridal party...

    I agree with SoonToBe (date twin!) on waiting, but I think it's ok to have a matron and two maids. Most guests probably wouldn't know the difference anyway. Are you planning on having other bridesmaids in addition to those three ladies?

    They're all honour attendants. If you feel that you want to make them equal there's nothing wrong with that.

    I also recommend on waiting until 6-8 months before the wedding to ask!

    As for your BP, you can really do whatever you want

    My cousin picked her two best friends as her MOHs (my sister and another girl they grew up with). They've been inseparable since 1st grade so she couldn't choose between the two of them and just went with both!

    I see nothing wrong with what you want to do, but I would wait until at least 9 months out at the very earliest to ask them. It seems like it shouldn't matter since they are your BFFs but you'd be amazed how often there are stories on here of people who have issues with super close friends and/or family during the wedding planning and wish they had waited. I asked my (literally) lifelong BFF to me my BM and now we haven't even spoken since about 6 months before the wedding, she didn't even come. So I would advise anyone and everyone to wait until closer to just to save everyone involved a lot of stress.

    Do whatever makes you happy! My best friend has always told me that if she didn't have a sister, I'd be her maid of honor. So she made her sister her maid of honor and me her vice maid of honor, haha. Which I think is a pretty awesome title.

    I'm in the same boat... I have two married sisters and don't want to choose between them to be MOH so I'm thinking about choosing one of my best friends but now my sisters are mad at me... Idk what to do. :/

    We will end up having a fairly large bridal party due to our big families.. But I'm in the same boat- no sisters and my 3 best friends we've been together forever. I've decided to make them all maids of honor- especially since it'll still be an honor with 5 BM in addition to them

    I have two sisters and both of them are going to be my MOH. Not weird at all. It is your wedding so do it how you want to.
