Switching moh & Bridesmaids

Raven, on September 2, 2020 at 9:37 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
Has anyone every switched a bridesmaid to MOH and MOH to bridesmaid because MOH has a bunch of things going on or moved across the country? If so how did you go about talking about it?

    Personally, I wouldn't switch them. The only requirement for the MOH and bridesmaids is to show up on the the day of the wedding to stand by your side, wearing the specified attire, and shouldn't be dependent on where they live or how busy they are prior to the wedding. If your MOH is still able to be there on the wedding day, I wouldn't switch them. If you do decide to switch them, be aware that it may negatively affect your friendship with the friend you move from MOH to bridesmaid.

    Why would you do that? The MOH's only job is to show up in the requested attire and support you on your big day. Demoting her just because she is busy and moved across the country is incredibly rude

    MOH is usually the friend you have known longest, or friend or family member you feel closest to. Not a job description of doing anything more than a bridesmaid . Anything else that either a bridesmaid or MOH does, from helping address invitations to planning a shower, is something any close female friend or relative can do, whether or not they are in the wedding party. Obviously, very closest friends may be more likely to volunteer than some others, but many think it best when BM and MOH pay for dresses etc, and other friends and aunts or sisters do showers, to make sure no one person is overburdened. Also, MOH is not in charge of or supervisor of the others. She may suggest thing, as anyone may
    But they are each honorary positions chosen by the bride, and each answers to her.
    If one bridesmaid, or friend not in the wedding party helps with planning or parties, you cannot promote her and demote someone else. you can have two MOH. Or you can give a nicer, more expensive thank you gift ( given privately) to anyone who does much more than others.

    I wouldn’t worry about the titles. Just think of them all as bridesmaids in your mind.

    I wouldn't do this. This could cause a lot of unnecessary drama. Also, the only requirement for your maid of honor or bridesmaids to show up to your wedding wearing what you've requested and stand beside you.
