Wedding Party

3 MOH and no bridesmaids?

I originally had a MOH and 3 Bridesmaids planned with my fiance having 4 GM standing up.  I'll leave out all the details but my MOH and I have since had a falling out and she is no longer in the wedding but also not coming (her decision, not mine).  My other 3 girls have been very supportive and were there during the falling out.  My MOH was a friend since grade school and my 3 BM were friends i have become close with since college. 

I'm ok having uneven numbers between my side and my fiance's side.  But my question is, I love all my 3 BM the same all for different reasons and I really can't pick one of them to be my MOH.  Would it be weird if I made all 3 of them my co-MOHs and then had no BMs??  Please help!!!!

  • I would just leave them all as BM and not have an MOH.  It just makes more sense.
  • Having all MOH does dilute the "honor" of being MOH.  What about having all 3 be bridesmaids or just "honor attendants" instead?
  • I don't think that three Maids of Honor would be a problem. I also think it'd be fine to just leave them all as Bridesmaids.


    Your call.

    I feel like it's a little late to ask them to be your MOH, seeing as you already asked someone else.
  • Thanks for all the advice.  I do see the pros and cons of all the sides.  I guess I just want to honor them as they should be.  The 3 of them are throwing me a shower and bachelorette party together anyway.  I just don't want them to feel like they are doing the work of a MOH without having the titles. Does that make sense?

  • Well, there already was a MOH. Who since left the wedding party. So it seems odd to me to either make everyone now MsOH, know what I mean?  I think it would make the most sense to just leave them as BMs. You don't technically need a MOH - I have 4 BMs and no MOH since they're all close friends of mine and I couldn't choose amongst them.

    MOH usually stands next to the bride during the ceremony but we're doing the lineup in order of height so that gets sorted out that way...I asked them if anyone wanted to give a toast during the reception and to talk it out amongst themselves if they did...

  • MOH isn't about what work they are doing, and it's not uncommon for the entire bridal party to pitch in if there is a shower or bachelorette so don't worry about that part.

    Your MOH is not required to throw you a b-party or shower. Anyone can do that, so that point is slightly moot.
  • I'm with gottahave here.  If every single person in the WP is a Maid of Honor, where exactly IS the honor?  Also, as you've already had a MOH, it seems like you'd be trying to replace her.

    Just leave them all as BMs.  Have one stand closest to you, one sign the license, and one make a toast.  Done.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
  • I had the tri-maids of honor for my wedding. I didn't want to rank them either.
  • I have 2 MOHs , one is my sister and the other is my best friend. You can do whatever you want its your wedding :)
