Matron of Honor, Maid of Honor or Bridesmaid?

Alexis, on June 20, 2024 at 1:37 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Hello All,

I have three people on my side of the bridal party. I am not sure what "title" to give them, as they are all important to me. They are all married and have kids. It's my sister in law, my lifelong friend since 5 yrs old & my college roommate who I am very close with.


I started out calling them all my matrons of honor but I don't know if that's the right thing to do. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    I think it's perfectly fine to call them all matrons of honor! Or even just bridesmaids. Personally, I detest the idea of "ranking" friendships with titles.

    I agree re: ranking - that's why I had them all as matron's. my mother made a comment about it being less special if they're all matrons so that naturally made me paranoid lol

    I don't think it makes it less special... it just makes it special to more people 💕

    I’d just call them all bridesmaids. My feeling is that if you don’t immediately know a particular person is so close she’s definitely MOH, don’t try ranking your friends and just go with bridesmaids for all.

    "Bridesmaid" keeps it equal for everyone. Some weddings have both a maid and matron of honor, but in your case that would mean a third person gets left out, so don't worry about it!

    Matron of honor signifies the person is married. Bridesmaids used to be young, unmarried women but that designation is outdated. I would just have them all be bridesmaids with no MOH if there is no clear choice.
