MOH question..

So, I just recently got engaged *yay* and now I am trying to figure out my maid of honor, but I have am having a problem because I have a sister, who chose me as her maid of honor when she got married, and i have a sister in law who wanted to choose me as her maid of honor, but felt that she -had- to pick her little sister because she is blood related. I am not particularly close to my sister because she is like 7 years older than me and we do not have much in common, so I am looking more to pick my sister in law..but is it true that i should pick my sister because she is blood related? I just don't want to hurt anyones feeling :(. thanks for all your help

  • If this decision is difficult, I see no reason why you can't have both with the MOH title.  Or, you could just not have a MOH at all and just give everyone the title of BM.  Like a pp said, they will participate just the same in your wedding.

  • why not have both of them? my sister is 12 years older than me and she is my MOH.  call me old fashioned but i picked her before anyone else because she knows me the best and has been there for me the longest.

  • do you need a MOH? can they both be BMs? i went to my SIL's wedding and she has 2 very close friends and neither of them was MOH. she had both as equal footing as BMs. as well my FI is a GMs at a wedding this summer and the groom has no best man. he has 4 really close friends and they are all GMs. though he asked my FI to make the speech at the reception. mainly because he's just a good speaker.
  • Do you have a close girlfriend to be the MOH instead of either sister? I think it would cause too much family drama if you pick one or the other.

  • Is you SIL married?  If not, she could be your maid of honor and your sister could be matron of honor.
