Two Maids of a Honor?

You can have 2 of course. But there aren't duties to delegate...the only thing they are supposed to do is buy a dress and be there the day of.

I had a maid of honor and a matron of honor and two additional bridesmaids. If there are two people you want to honor with that title, do it.

ETA: regarding "responsibilities" I don't know what you mean. They buy a dress and show up. Anything else they can figure out amongst themselves. Showers, Bach etc. if they can and are going to throw for you.

You can have whatever you like. My best friend is having 2 (myself and another one of our good friends). Please note there are no required duties either than getting a dress and being a good friend.

I have 2, but in line with what the other posters have stated, I did not delegate a thing.

I have two- my sister and my best friend since we were 7, so basically another sister. Both ladies are also close friends and are excited to be in this together. As for duties, they're already discussing planning a bachelorette party for next year. That's really the only thing I expect of them. We're going to be doing a jack n Jill rather than a bridal shower and they'll help me prepare for that, but they would do that regardless of MOH status

I have two MOH which are both my sisters

You can totally have two MOHs if you want to honor two friends that way! But there's no need to delegate any responsibilities because there's nothing to delegate. MOHs and BMs have no obligations other than showing up in the selected dress. Anything else that any of them choose to do is extra (offering to help you with stuff, throwing a shower or bachelorette party). Just let them know you'd like for them to be your MOHs and see what happens. If either of them is willing to throw a shower or something for you, they can discuss it on their own and figure it out.

I have two matrons of honor! Absolutely fine. They are both my cousins and are sisters. They co-hosted a shower for me, but they don't have "responsibilities". They are also co-hosting a bachelorette trip, but by no means did they have to or did I ask them.

You ask each to be a maid of honor then tell each of them to buy their dress. Done!

If they want to plan anything, they can talk to each other and figure it out themselves. If they offer to help you with anything for the wedding, that's great too, but totally up to them. If one asked if she could come over and help with something wedding related, I would be sure to make sure the other one is informed and invited so there is no jealousy.

I had 2 MOH, I didn't give responsibilites, one chose to throw the parties. (That is kinda her thing) The other was there the entire day of the wedding. She was the only one that chose to get her hair done by our friend. All I asked of any of my girls was to get a dress and boots and show up for the party and pictures. Anything else was their choice. I was very grateful to have such wonderful ladies standing by my side.

No duties required. Done. Also, the plural is maids of honor.

I have two maids of honor.

OP we have the same wedding date! I'm having my 2 sisters both me maids of honor.

I had two maids of honor. Not sure I would do it again but that's only because one barely did anything while the other did everything. If I could go back I would have one, since I feel that it wasn't fair for two people to share credit for what one person did. But that's all dependent on the people you are choosing.

As for responsibilities, while you can not force them to do anything, I believe there are some responsibilities that come with accepting such a position. Part would be planning the bachelorette and shower....that of course does not mean they are obliged to pay for these events...most often the mother would do that, but they should be involved and helping out (ex. Sharing ideas, helping to set up an decorate). Some will be able to do more than other, but they should definitely be doing something other than buying a dress and showing up. Wedding planning is stressful and if you red help ask your bridal party. Most of the time people are happy to help and it is often fun to do, especially when it's crafty type stuff or going dress shopping. I know I could never as a bridesmaid not be somewhat involved.

Hollywood has lied to you. There is no such thing as "bridesmaid duties". They buy a dress they can afford and they show up sober on your wedding day. Pep talks and getaway car-driving as necessary as well. They do not have to throw any parties for you either, but it's certainly nice of them if they do. *You're* honoring *them* by asking them to be by your side.

You can definitely have multiple maids/matrons of honor if you so choose. Happy planning!

My best friend had 2 maid of honors & one matron.

My sister had 2 MOH

I was going to have both of my sisters be maids of honor so I am glad I am not the only one.

Yes you can have two MOHs. It does not matter whether they are married or unmarried. As far as "duties" - I can't imagine what ceremony details and reception details you would expect them to do? They are not wedding planners. They are your friends that you're honoring.

I can assure you that Hollywood as not lied to me, since Hollywood has not influence on my expectations of a bridal party. If anything, my expectations are that these are the closest people in my life, who I have always been there for, so how can I not expect them to be there for me on my wedding. It doesn't cost money (other than the dress that the bride chooses) to help stamp invitations or come to look at wedding dresses. If they don't do more than buy a dress and show up sober, then what separates them front he rest of the guests? Further, if you really want to get into the historical origins of a bridal party it is very far from anything we do today anyway. I don't know, maybe it's a cultural thing, but in my family and among my friends bridal parties have always provided help and support to the bride.

As I said in my post, I never said it was their duty to throw a bachelorette party or shower, meaning I wasn't saying they should be expected to pay for the party. Rather, I stated that a bridesmaid should provide ideas and should be willing to do minor things such as help set up. I know that for my wedding, my bridal party got together with my mom a few weeks before the shower, agreed on a bridal party gift and some games and activities they would do. In addition, all were there a little early to help set up. I don't think that is much to ask, and most people, if they are truly deserving of an "honor", are people in your life who would be more than willing to help. I know I go above and beyond for my friends always helping them with things that come up in their life, and I would never understand why they wouldn't want to help me. In addition, if I was asked to be in a bridal party I would know that it would come with some financial expenses and I would make sure that I at least offered some help in some way.

Bottom line is if these are your closest friends and family in your bridal party then I could never imagine them not wanting to help out. Simply sending some texts to ask the future bride if they need some help with anything goes a long way. I know I had some issues with delays with my invitation and I needed help to get them out. I don't think true friends and family would leave a bride stranded, as long as they were available to help. To be honest, if a bridesmaid was unwilling to help at all, even a little bit, over the course of the entire engagement, at least once, then I would have to reevaluate that friendship. While it is an honor, it is your day and they should want to be there for you. I know when all my friends were getting married, whether or not I was in the bridal party, I always offered to help. It's not about "duties" it's about what true friends do. It's not asking them to be your salve, just maybe help put together some crafts over a glass of wine or help you choose between dresses. I know every time my bridal party helped them with something I always took the them out for a meal.

Going back to two Maids of Honor, as I said it depends on you, and I am speaking for personal experience. When you give to people the same high honor, and one is there for you, while the other is not, it can be frustrating. I just regret having two maids of honor and wish I had thought things through a bit more. That doesn't mean that you will, just think about it before finalizing anything.
