    I've been thinking about having 2 MOH's. I picked everyone out-I have 1 MOH & 5 BMs. I was thinking about moving up one of my BMs (FSIL) to be a 2nd MOH. The one I would like to "promote" was one I was debating to originally asking to be MOH. I know she'll be helping me a lot with crafts & some planning.

    Is it a good idea to ask her? The weddings in August, so it's not like a month away or anything. If I did, would I just have her walk in like she would have as if she were BM? The FI is only going to have the 1 BM & 5 GM.

    I think it's fine! I have a Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor, plus 6 bridesmaids. It's a little non-traditional, but if those two people mean a lot to you then I say go for it! I wouldn't ask her to be a MOH just based on the fact that she's going to help you make things though.

    It wouldn't be the only reason. I do hang out with her other than that. I just was meaning that I just know she'll be helping me more where the MOH isn't.

    Yeah-it's something I'm still tossing around-seeing if it's really want I want. If I do have her as the MOH, would I just have her walk in last with the GM (her husband, FI's brother) right before the MOH walking in by herself? (I'm having the GM walk down with the BMs, & then the BM standing with the FI & MOH walking in alone before the FG.)

    I've got two co-MOHs. My sister lives out of state (well she's moving close to me in a couple weeks but I didn't know that at the time) so I asked my local friend too since she'd be around to dress shop and venue hunt and craft. I think it's totally fine to have 2.

    Yea I definitely think it'll be fine then! The walking order sounds fine too. You could have the BM walk down with your other MOH to even things up, but either way I'm sure it'll be great.

    Definitely have 2 MOH's if you want! I agree with luckyyou--you could have the BM walk in with the other MOH if you think that would even things up a bit, if not, I think it would fine to have one MOH walk in with a GM and one MOH walk by herself.

    I have 2 MOHs and I love it!  We have a big wedding party (7 on my side, 8 on his) and my FI wanted 2 best men, so I thought I'd have 2 MOHs. With my original MOH there was never any question it would be her -- we've been best friends for 8 years and she is one of the best people I know.  In deciding who my second MOH would be (I'm really close to all of the girls) I ended up picking a friend who's in the same area, would feel that it was less of a burden time-wise than my other friends who work crazy jobs (attorney, doctorm etc.) -- and she just happens to be an amazing party planner too!  I love it.

    Do you think the current MOH would feel bad if I ask one of the BM/FSIL to be the Matron of Honor? I would want the MOH to do most of the important MOH things, but don't want her to feel like I want someone else. 

    I'm having a hard time deciding :) I do want to decide soon so I can print out the BM cards & get them to the girls soon!

    I had two Matrons of Honor (my two sisters).  I say go for it!  I think your current MOH would understand.

    I'm with Miss Cake! My sister lives in Washington state and I needed a strong support here. So I also asked my BFF to be a MOH. My only regret is that I didn't talk to my sister about it first. She pretended she was fine with it until she blew up and sent me the meanest email ever. Then I rationalized with her and everything is fine now. They actually love having a buddy to bounce ideas off. I felt my BFF had earned the title by being so unbelieveably helpful. When I told her my sister was upset she went above and beyond and told me if I changed my mind she would happily be a Bridesmaid. This made the decision even easier. She is a true friend and support and I wanted to honor her. Go with your heart! If you want 2 have 2!

    You should do what makes you happy!  My FH is having two best men, and they're escorting my MOH down the aisle together.  Have who you want with you, and your day will be just lovely.  No worries!

    I think its fine that you would have 2 while your man only has 1 best man. My FI is having two best men but I'm sticking with one MOH. No one will think its strange... I can't imagine why they would!

    Oh, and I forgot to say that you can ask them to do certain things to split up the "duties". FI is having one best man sign the marriage license as the witness and the other one give the speech. I think its a good compromise!
