How did you ask your MOH to be in the BP?

ChellaTims · August 2012

I'm not sure if I phrased that headline right or not! I was wondering how you ladies or other New Orleans brides asked their best friends to be in their bridal party. My best friend is a guy and I've already asked him to be my dude of honor and of course he said yes but this was before I realized that it was supposed to be a big/special moment between the two of us. I'm not sure if I would be out of line to embroider him a hanky with his favorite NFL Team and maybe some other personal stuff on it so that he could also use it during the second line. Any other ideas because I really need the help and I want the moment to represent our very long friendship but especially New Orleans!

I dont think it has to be a big thing. I just called my BMs and asked them to be in the bridal party.

For my MOH, my sister, I gave her a gift which was a picture frame with a photo of the two of us in it. On my side of the picture it said "Bride" and her side said "Maid of Honor".

But either way, I think it's fine whatever you decide to do. You can keep the hankie idea, but maybe give it as a thank you on the day of the wedding?

I didn't ask my MOH in a special way, although at the time I didn't realize I needed to. I told her I was engaged and then a short bit after told her it would mean the world to me if she would be my MOH. She was overjoyed, so I don't think something special absolutely IS necessary; although it's a nice touch. I will likely get her a special gift to give her that day (in addition to the bridal party gifts). Or maybe give it to her a few days before. You could do the same, although in the end, I wouldn't worry too much.

I asked my bridesmaids to be in my wedding right before Christmas so I took them to lunch and gave them each a little gift bag. I had gone to Michael's and bought plain white ornaments. I used paint pen to draw a little bm dress on one side and on the other I wrote "will you be my bridesmaid?" or "will you be my maid of honor?" They loved them!

I did do a special mailing. I purchased these "will you be my bridesmaids" cards from etsy. They were personalized. The MOH said "will you be my maid of honor" I mailed them with fleur de lis chocolates that i purchased from southern candymakers on dectur in new orleans. They do ship. The bridesmaids were thrilled to get them in the mail! I'm glad i did something special. It wasn't expensive either.

I know this doesn't sound fancy, but I just called mine on the phone... it doesn't have to be a big moment when you ask, but I intend to have a special private moment with her on the day of my wedding and I will give her a special gift then. Maybe you could honor him on the day of or the day before seperate from the rest of the BP. Hope this helped! Best of Luck!

My MOH and I have been friends since high school, and were roommates for a while in college. Before I even got engaged, she informed me that she didn't want to be MOH, because it was too much work. After FI and I got back from the trip where he proposed, MOH and I were sitting on the couch at our place. She turns to me and says, "So I've changed my mind; I'm going to be your MOH." I told her "What if I picked someone else?", and she said "Yeah right!"

Pretty much sums up our friendship.

As for your second line handkercheif idea, it sounds awesome! Pair it with a custom shot glass or beer mug, maybe?
