What should my 16-year-old sister's title be in my wedding?

Cat, on August 29, 2022 at 12:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

My sister will have just turned 16 when I get married next year. I would otherwise ask her to be my maid of honor, but she won't be able to plan or attend my bachelorette party and won't be able to plan a bridal shower. As my mom said, my mom would end up having to handle the planning.

My sister and I are really close, so I want her to have a special role in the wedding. Should she be my maid of honor? Or should I ask one of my best friends who can plan a bachelorette party to be my maid of honor?

I'm planning on asking my other best friend (who doesn't drink and wouldn't be a big bachelorette planner either) to be my matron of honor regardless, so she can be the one to sign the marriage certificate either way.

    It doesn't have to be the MOH who plans the bachelorette. If you want your sister to have that title, go for it.

    MOH doesn't have to plan things, I'd ask your sister.

    Another bridesmaid can always plan the Bachelorette Party and shower. If you want your sister to be MOH, there’s no problem asking her if she’d like that title.

    It sounds like you are super close with your sister. I would make her your MOH! Anyone can plan the bachelorette party or bridal shower. My mom planned my shower and I am planning a bachelorette party for my friend who isn't having a bridal party.

    She can totally be your MOH! Anyone can plan the shower or bachelorette party. If she can't help pay she could help by being the point of contact for RSVPs, helping with set up/ clean up, running the games, keeping track of who got you which gifts, etc.

    I will add that if you do include her in your bridal party that you might want to consider bachelorette party activities that she can still be included in. There was a thread a few weeks ago where a bride had an underage bridesmaid that was upset she wasn't included in the bachelorette party because they decided to go out to bars.
