Made of Honour and Chief Bridesmaid

Annelies, 9 September, 2021 at 09:44 Posted on Planning 0 5
I have just started wedding planning for 2023.. I am finding it hard to decide on my Made of Honour and Chief Bridesmaid! I have 2 best friends which I am very close to but I really don't know how to choose between the two! Has anyone else been in this situation?
Any top tips to help me?!

    Morning,

    I am not aware of a difference between the two (except nationality) so I would give the title to whichever friend and give them equal jobs but one important job that's theirs, for example: both organise your hen do (they can work out between them who does what), but perhaps on the day - your Maid of Honour ensures while you're getting ready that no-one comes in / the photographer has arrived, etc. Your Chief Bridesmaid could be on dress duty (your dress) - making sure you look perfect the whole day, arranging people for each photograph.

    Giving them each an important job will make them feel a special part of the day and you have everything covered without having to choose between them.

    There's so much to think about, and this shouldn't stress you out - I've been in this situation (from the other side) and they will both want to be with you every step of the day and be involved - that's because they love you.

    Hope that helped.

    Have 2 MOH or 2 Chief BM's, is your day and there is no set rule. My MOH is my best friend, but as she has a small child (our flower girl) my Chief Bridesmaid will step in to help with stuff if my MOH is busy with the little one, we are luck y that we are a close group of friends and there is no issue. Divide all duties between them, I wouldn't imagine either would be offended as they will just want to be there to support you on your day.

    I couldn’t decide between having my sister or my best friend as my MOH, so I decided to make them both MOHs 😊that way everyone wins! I can divide up the responsibilities between the two of them and no-one would be overwhelmed and no-ones feelings got hurt! It was win win for me!
    Choosing them both could be the perfect solution! They’ll be so excited to be part of your day and the plans that they’ll probably love that you asked them both 😊

    Good luck with making your decision 😊

    If you're just having the two, then you can call them both either bridesmaid or MOH. If you have other friends you want to involve, then make the other friends bridesmaids and have two MOHs. Your wedding, your rules!
