Too many "maids of Honor"

Heather, on February 17, 2017 at 7:59 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14

To include the closest family and friends in the ceremony we have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen. My sister is the "maid of honor" my childhood best friend is my "matron of honor" and i want my best best friend to be maid of honor too. Then my SIL and my FH sis followed by my jr bridesmaid niece 8(yr).

Is there another defining name i could call maid of honor 2?

Would it be ok to actually have two Maids of honor and a matron?

    It's your wedding, you can do whatever you want. But I personally havent seen more than 2 maids or matrons of honor at the weddings I have attended.

    IMO, 2 is alright and any more than that is overkill. But do what you want

    I'd say keep it at two maid /matron of honors max. After that it kind of seems a little ridiculous. If you really can't choose just have all bridesmaids. You're not making anyone feel special or honored if everyone is a maid of Honor lol

    If everyone is a MOH, is it really an honor?

    I agree with PPs. If half your BP are MOHs then it's not as special. But, it's your wedding. If that's really what you want, we're not going to change your mind.

    Hi! So I was maid of honor in my best friends wedding and so was her cousin. It was totally still a big honor. I am actually getting married soon and she will be my matron of honor and my cousin will be the moh and then 4 bridesmaids. It's a total honor either way and if you feel those 3 ladies should be mohs and they are all that special then go for it! =)

    I just have to agree... How much of an honor is it if half the people have the title?

    Honestly, I have 3. My 3 best friends from high school- were all equally close and there is absolutely no way I could have singled one of them out.

    They love sharing the title because they all took a "job" i.e. One wanted to throw me a shower, one wanted to throw me a bachelorette party and one is going to do the speech. They still feel special since it's always been all of us together and they like not having too much pressure

    Thanks for the quick responses. Its hard to pick between a sister and my 2 best friends. I might just have one MOH cause the best friends bridesmaids know i love them. But then again I have over a year to go back and forth. I was thinking of calling MOH #3 Lady of Honor lol just cause...why not!? lol

    Isn't is honor enough to stand up for the bride? Does everyone need an "____ of honor" title? Do what makes you happy, but bridal party titles are not the most important detail.
