    It sounds crazy, but I have the blessing of having 9 wonderful friends that I simply could not chose from and decided to ask each of them to be my BM and MOH simultaneously.

    The reason I opted out of having a single MOH is because I knew my sister could make my life miserable on my wedding day and she'd expect to have the role, in addition to that my friend expected it too, and would have made it more difficult with my sister, so insead I asked them all to be my MOH's and want them all to feel as special to me.

    I have roughly 6 months before the wedding and I can't get all of these girls together so my plan is that I'm going to give each of the girls swatches of fabric and pictures of dresses as guidelines so they can chose their own dress with some guidance. I thought a list of each of the others girls names/phone numbers would be good too, and to tell them what my expectations are for the wedding, etc.

    Many of the girls have requested getting involved with the bachelorette party, shower, & wedding day details, etc. Since I dont have one MOH to organize, what would be the best way to divide these responsibilities up if I can't get all the girls together and so I dont sound like I'm forcing them to get involved.

    (Side note: My fiance has three groomsmen, and I told him that he doesn't have to accomodate my large group, that I'll have the girls walk two by two after the first three sisters are escorted by the GM.)

    Ok i was totally confused when the other topic got closed when I clicked "submit" but now i get it. Here's what i wrote:

     

    Do you have one friend who, in particular, is Type A? Somebody like me who goes CRAZY if somebody doesn't come up with a gameplan and just sends one out and says "yay or nay?" You could lightly nudge them and say you need *someone* to organize things at least a little bit. Organizing things doesn't make *me* feel more special, I just know it's what I do best and if I don't do it, it doesn't get done sometimes. Someone's gotta step up...

    Hehe I'm the same, I have three MOHs/BMs since in the end I couldn't choose between them :)

    Hmmm... could you pick the ones that are the best organisers, and have one organise the bachelorette party, and one do the shower. Then pick the best shopper/fashion queen and have her in charge of helping with your dress. Sounds like you also need to have someone in charge of communication/co-ordination too! And so on - divvy up the roles according to what they're good at and enjoy. Then hopefully each will have something for them to focus on, and everyone knows who to go to for what. Though 9 is a lot!!

    Definitely give them all ways to contact one another. Good luck lol!
