my sister is too young to be a maid of honor

Jennifer I don't think it's all about the money. I think if there is going to be a b-shower or b-party there needs to be someone available to support the bride on that. I'm not one for throwing my own parties...that's just me.

Eeek I'm not a fan relatives in weddings just because they are relatives. Do what makes you happy

Its honestly up to you. Your mother should just be touched that you would want your sister to be a big part of your big day in the first place!

I don't think she's too young. But if you don't want her, you shouldn't have to have her.

Kari it sounds like you already made up your mind. You sound like you DO NOT want her in your wedding. So do not have her in your wedding. I do not think she is too young to be in the wedding either.

I think it's totally your call - its your wedding so anything goes

My sister is 7 years younger than me and she is my maid of honor - i have two very close friends that i just couldn't choose between so my sister was a good choice for me personally. but if you can't choose, then who says you can't have 3 maids of honor? it's your day!

I have a friend that I've known since college and who is my number one best friend in the world. She lives in San Antonio though, and being in Ohio, I thought that it would be too difficult for her to be my MOH. It would have been tough to choose her over my younger sister and the one female cousin I grew up with and who basically IS my sister. Luckily, I asked her to officiate (we're not having a religious ceremony). In the meantime, I've decided to have my sister serve as my maid of honor, with my cousin in sort of an advisory role due to the fact that sis will only be 15 when we're married and will definitely need some guidance. If age of the witness is an issue, I'll have my cousin sign the certificate in her place. We're only having our honor attendants rather than a full-on wedding party, but I'll be sure to honor all of my ladies that help in any way just as if they were my bridesmaids, including my cousin and my future sister-in-law.

My older sister is going to be a BM and not MOH. To be honest, we do not have the greatest relationship and I didn't feel like she would be as reliable as i needed her to be. I asked my best friend to be MOH instead. Your MOH should be who you want it to be. I almost didn't include my sister in my BP at all but after discussing it with my mom (who knows how tenuous the relationship is) I decided to ask her to extend an olive branch. I personally think you should do what makes you happiest.
