What about no MOH?

Putting together my BM choices, I can't bring myself to pick just one to be an MOH! I have no biological sisters, so the choice isn't made for me, but each of my prospective (I haven't asked any of them yet until I can work this all out) BMs are very important to me in very different aspects of my life. I love them all so much, it seems unfair of me to pick one to be "more important" than the others. Give it to me straight, ladies. Is it okay to just not have an MOH, or must I choose?

    I think it is ok not to have a MOH.  I have also seen 2 MOHs, but I don't know how proper that is.
    I would think about 2 MOHs, but I'm probably going to end up with 3 or 4 BMs, so that may end up even more awkward (and probably improper, I'm not too sure on protocol for that either)! I think I'm just not going to have an MOH, since they're all so special to me! Maybe they can all be my Bridesmaids of Honor. :P

  • It is perfectly fine to have one MOH, multiple MOHs, or no MOH.  People around here usually say something like "who would you call at 3 a.m. to help you bury a body?  That's your MOH".

    The issue is that I'd call all of them and we'd do such a good job that they'd never find it!

    Thanks so much for the input, y'all. I was worried it may be some sort of breach of etiquette to not have an MOH.

  • It's proper to have more than one maid (or matron) of honour. It's proper to have none. It's proper to have a man of honour.

    Etiquette has never been concerned about the number, marital status, or gender of wedding party attendants. Etiquette has only ever been concerned with people treating their loved ones with dignity during the wedding planning process.

    If you love all these friends equally, make all of them your maids of honour or make none of them your maid of honour. Either is perfectly acceptable.

    I vote no MOH. It's not necessary.

    I'm not having one!  My 3 bridesmaids are all of equal relation to me and i didn't want to pick 1 over any others.   I didn't see any reason to have a MOH
  • I'm having 2 MOH's.  If I had to dispose of a dead body at 3am, I think it would be all three of us there digging together.  And I think it's perfectly fine to have no MOH. Or to have 3 or 4 of them, if that's what you choose. Really, other than a title, there really isn't any difference between MOH and BM. So, why worry about who gets what title?

  • I agree you don't really "need" one.  When you are all standing up in the front, I'm sure people will assume the girl standing next to you IS the MOH though. Unless they notice in the program that there is no one with that title. (just a thought)
  • I had 2 bridesmaids and no MOH. They all do the same thing, so it's not imperative to designate any of them THE CHOSEN ONE.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • I'm having 3 bridesmaids and no MOH. All of my bridesmaids are my sisters and I didn't see it to be fair to make one a MOH. So choose what is best for you in your situation but, by no means do you have to have one.
