Non-moh terms for Bff/matchmaker

Elizabeth, on November 11, 2018 at 7:41 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
My fiancé and I aren’t having a wedding party since we will have a small wedding and didn’t want all our friends standing up front with us or even processing down an aisle (plus his parents insisted his brothers all be the collective best men and it was just getting to be too much) so we are excited to just have it be about us and our parents. HOWEVER, my best friend and roommate (and also the one who introduced me to my FH) has been helping me so much with organizing and planning and I really want to recognize her for the important person she is to both of us!

What are some ways I can recognize her as an unofficial MOH and are there any terms I can use to kind of “propose” to her? I was thinking Matchmaker/Cupid of Honor, Best Woman, or something cute like that?

I also want her to be the one to sign our marriage certificate (the FH will get to pick someone too but the guys don’t have any planning responsibilities so I don’t feel like they have to be recognized in the same way).

Any other terms/names/ideas would be so so appreciated! How are other couples without traditional wedding parties thanking those who help so much?? thanks!

    I like your cupid of honor - I think that's really cute! How are you going to propose?

    I wouldn't bother trying to put a title on it, to me it would feel really awkward like you were just making something up to make me feel included. Personally I think it would be far more meaningful to just tell her or write in a card how important her friendship is, that you really appreciate everything she's done for you and that you would love if she would be the one to sign your certificate and get ready with you or whatever. And then if you wanted to do anything more public, just thank her again in your toast

    Thank you guys so much for the advice!! I think I’ll give her a nice thank you gift for being the reason we met and for the help she’s given so far and ask what she’s most comfortable with Smiley smile

    We r doing the exact same and I still call my friend a MOH even though Im not requiring her to get a specific dress and she wont be standing with me, she is still doing everything else with me. Shes even acting DOC for the day. I am going to get her a special gift and FH and I will give her special recognition at the reception.

    I would talk to her and ask her what she's comfortable with, but at the end of the day she's a maid of honor, plain and simple, no matter what alternative title you bestow upon her.

    You could use guest of honor. The cupid of honor is cute between just you and her. If she is signing your marriage license as the witness I would formally call her the guest of honor the day of.
