Can we just have a maid of honor?

My fiancé and I are planning a small wedding. He doesn't want a best man because he can't choose between his friends. I know that my sister wants to be my maid of honor but I think it might seem weird to have only one person standing up in the wedding. Are there any ideas for other ways she could be involved in the ceremony/reception?

    You can do whatever you want. I have seen people with 1 girl and 2 guys standing up. If your fiance can't pick maybe you can have both guys and your sister. Otherwise just having your sister is fine too if that's what you and your fiance want.
  • I think it is perfectly fine to just have a MOH. If you dont want her to be your MOH, a reader is the only other "job." Passing programs or supervising the guest book are not honors.

  • We have 5 on a side. I have a MOH. My FI does not have a best man, because he says nobody has stood out in his life enough to warrant the honor. (I think he's being picky, but it's his decision.) 

    People keep telling us, "But you HAVE to have a best man!". No. You don't. You can honor whomever you want to honor. If that means nobody, so be it. I've heard of weddings with 2 best men. Or 2 MOH (although I've never been to one.) 

    It's completely up to you.

  • We're having no bridal party. Just me and my man walking down the aisle together. IMO, it doesn't have to be even also. You can still have your MOH and your man can have both his friends. Why not?
  • I've been to a wedding where they had no one.  And it was just as lovely.  There's no magic number.  Although I will say this, the wedding where they had no one was my best friend from high school.  She invited me to the wedding and knew I was coming.  The night before she called me at 10 pm in tears because she was trying to get some last minute details done but didn't have enough hands.  Of course I went to help her, but that's something to consider that she did not.  When I got there I shoo'ed her to bed because she had to get up at 6 am and she needed to get to bed.
