Help! When should i propose to my moh and Bridesmaids?

Emily, 22 September, 2021 at 13:20 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hey!

So me and my partner have decided we will get married on our 10 year anniversary in 2026. We know this is just over 4 years away, however we are having a double multi-cultural wedding - 2 complete days.

I already know who my Maid of Honour would be... I had chosen her before I was even engaged. She has no idea but since being engaged she has called me so many times to discuss hen parties, weddings, she wants to be there to help me the whole way including the day of the wedding. She thinks shes just a close family friend and she has said she will help the MOH and bridesmaids as much as possible, not knowing she will be the MOH.

With the wedding being a while away, would you still propose to your bridal party as soon as possible? Or would you wait?

I would be having 2 hen parties, one abroad and a spa one. So this could be expensive for people and I would like to give people the heads up to start saving, but equally I don't want to ask people and then get no wedding excitement because my date is 4 years away.


Any help/Advice would be completely appreciated! TIA

    How awesome to have such an amazing friend who is just as excited as you are for your wedding! I proposed to my bridal party as soon as I knew. My wedding was in 10 months so I was certain that i would not change my mid or fall out with her as we have been friends for years, so that is the only thing I would think about as your wedding is so far away, but from the sounds of it this girl is not going anywhere.

    I got this for my MOH ( you can personalise and change the role from BM to MOH). there were lots of tears and it now takes pride of place on her hall table!

    As you say, there will be an expense so you are right to give as much time to people to save up, but be ok with the fact some people still may not be able to attend due to cost, even with this much notice.

    Good Luck with your planning and proposal

    If she's that excited, then I'm sure she'll love to be told as soon as possible!


    Just be wary about expecting that excited a reaction from everything, especially if you're planning expensive things and expecting people to save up for your wedding/hen. Most people struggle to save for their own life!
    Enjoy the proposal - your your MOH sounds lovely xxx
