   Discussion by FRANCISDAWN2 · December 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› 40-Plus Brides

   I'd be interested in any comments on this topic. I have 2 daughters (both mid 20s) and would like to ask my younger one to be my maid of honor. We are much closer than I am with the older one, but certainly would hate any hurt feelings. Any suggestions? Can I have 2? Is having your daughter be maid of honor even…

   I only have one daughter, but have 3 now that I'm married (2 steps). I had my daughter, who is 17, as my MOH at my wedding in August. I didn't have to choose. She was honored to do it, and it made her feel a special part of the planning and the wedding day. When it comes to having 2 daughters, my advice would be to have…

   It is perfectly appropriate to have two MOH or have all 3 be bridesmaids. I had 2 MOHs.

   Thanks for your comments everyone. Now that I see it in writing it does make so much sense to have them both MOH (maid and matron). I don't know how I could have considered having one in the wedding and not the other. Guess it just takes someone saying things back to you, like you all did, to realize what makes sense. Ok…

   I have 3 daughters and two sons, and FH has 2 daughters and one son. What we have done is that my two oldest daughters, ages 18 and 19 are my "maids of honor". My youngest daughter, age 9 will be our flower girl. His two daughters age 23 and 19, will be the bridesmaids. I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings so each girl…

   Agreed, with PP, have both be MOH's to avoid hurt feelings. My daughter is my MOH in my wedding on July 4, 2012. My son is my dude of honor, standing beside his sister after he walks me down the aisle. They are 20 and 19.

   it is very appropriate for your daughters to be in your party. i say just dont give out titles. they can both be your bridesmaids. or, if you want them to feel even more a part, make them both your maids of honor. theres no rule for only having one :)

   I don't know your situation at all, but in all honesty, what would you want to leave them with after your wedding is done and after you've left this earth. At our age, we all have issues with people, and it's not always our fault, but my opinion is, if it's not in the best interest for all, find another solution. My sister…

   We had two MOHs, and one of them was male. (They were my son and daughter.) I'm a big believer in having the people you care about stand up with you, and making the titles fit the people instead of the other way around. ski2play: I am amused that yours is called the dude of honor (the same title ours had). We started out…
