Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a bit of advice on my bridesmaids/maid of honor situation. For context, my FH and I are having 6 groomsmen and 6 bridesmaids for our July 2022 wedding. My bridal party is filled with 6 wonderful ladies that all have a special place in my heart however, I am having a hard time choosing who I should make my maid of honor and who should remain a bridesmaid as I don't want to offend or hurt anyone.
At first the decision was very clear to me who I would choose. However, after some time (and chats with family) it has become increasingly harder on who to decide so I decided I would have 2 maid of honors. Right now I have two family members and a very close friend to decide from.
One of the family members I was extremely close as a child but as we grew up we don't see each other as much anymore but I know regardless she has my back but might not know what I like or my vibe.
The other family member is my FH's husband sister and she has become like my sister as we pretty much grew up together and is able to be there to help me with a lot of things. She knows what i like and dont like.
The close friend is the type of friend that you don't see or speak to each other often but you pick up right where you left off and she too would have my best interest and knows what I like and don't like. The problem is recently my family has had some issues with my close friend and that she is moving in June of this year and I'm afraid she wont be able to help me as much (which i will need a lot of help being that I am in grad school and wont be available for future wedding planning)
Should I keep just two maid of honors OR should i just do all three and avoid extra stress. (The problem with 3 is i don't know if that is excessive or not for such a small bridal party)
Any advice is welcomed!
