No Moh??

Maggy, on May 22, 2019 at 10:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
Hey! Has anyone else out there opted for no Maid of Honor?? I am having five bridesmaid. They’re all so different and each bring different attributes to the table! Just curious if others have done this and how it worked out??

    How would you line them up? I feel as if the person closest to you would just assume they are "like" the maid of honor. I don't think it matters either way.

    I haven't chosen a maid of honor! So far it's been fine, but I think the key is that everyone already knows each other, works well together, and I'm not expecting any planning help from them.

    I think if I wanted a huge or complex bachelorette party, or if they were throwing the a bridal shower, it might be an issue.

    I actually have no bridal party and since we are doing courthouse ceremony, in my state, I don't even need witnesses.

    I had 3 bridesmaids and no MOH because I did not want to choose one over the other. They worked together to throw us a couple's shower each taking a part of the planning upon themselves. They also collaborated together on the bachelorette party and gave me 3 options to choose from. As for the line up, I did it based on length of time I knew each one with the one I knew the longest standing closest to me.

    No Moh?? 1

    No Moh?? 2

    I can't choose a MOH. My bridesmaids are my three sisters and my BFF since I was 12. I'm lining them up oldest to youngest. I've told them I don't want a shower or a bachelorette party.

    Same situation here! I have 5 bridesmaids and no moh. My brother got married a couple years back, and I was in the wedding. My brother's wife's moh was amazing and she's known her since she was very little. None of my bridesmaids have really ever been in a wedding, so they wouldn't know all of the things that a moh does. So I figured I wouldn't have an moh because i have this image in my head of what a moh does and i dont want to be disappointed when something falls through
    Also following this post to see what other brides say lol

    I don’t have one and so far it’s been completely fine! I have 6 BMs one jr BM. 3 are giving a joint toast because the 5 of us (FH included) are all such good friends. The ones not giving the toast are standing closer to me during the ceremony so no one feels less important. They all planned me a bachelorette trip and have all been so helpful!
    My wedding is next weekend so hopefully all goes well with no maid of honor but I really don’t see there being a problem

    Well, I opted out of a BP altogether. LOL! My 5 closest girls are (and have been) supportive regardless, with simply the title “friend”. However not having a MOH sounds good because and it’s not mandatory. Plus it eliminates rankings.

    I'm having 4 bridesmaids and no MOH. For the ceremony, I plan on them lining up by height (I'm tall, so I want the tallest standing next to me so I don't look like such a giant Smiley smile).

    I have five bridesmaids and no MOH. I am going to line them up in order by who I've known the longest. One of them (who coincidentally I have known the longest so she will stand next to me) offered to plan my bach party and two others told her they would like to help with the planning. They aren't throwing my showers (in my circle I don't usually see bridal party doing that), they are being thrown by my aunts and some family friends. FH and I each picked one person to give a toast but that was just a decision based on who we wanted to give one and also who we knew wouldn't mind the public speaking. We're having 200+ at the wedding and I can promise that a couple of them would be really uncomfortable speaking up there, and I didn't want them to feel obligated to say yes.
