    Girls, i am lost. How do you ask your friend/relative to be a MOH? What is good, special way to do it? I have a friend that i want to ask, but freaking about about it.

    Any ideas?

    On Picassa I put together collages of me and the MOH.  Then around the pictures I typed in "Will You Be MY Maid of Honor" Just for some of the best moments we've had together in the picture and knowing that girl will be there for the most important day of my life.

    My sister is my MOH. I just brought it up in regular conversation. You don't need to make fancy cards or other productions.

    Well, for me she is my friend and we work together...I understand if it is a sister, they kinda expect to be your MOH, but if it is a friend...i want  to make something for her.

    @VTGirlinMA - i like your idea a lot!!!!

    Do whatever you want. But it doesn't need to be formal. Use normal conversation to bring up the topic.

    I didn't do anything speical..I just asked her!  She's my best friend and I am sure she already knew she would be my MOH since I have no sisters!  It was perfect for us..we both cried and are very excited!  Sometime the simple ways are the best!

    I have 2 (my bff and my sister).  I got engaged a few wks before my bff's wedding, so I delayed making any sort of announcements of my own wedding so the spotlight was soley on her.  At her rehearsal dinner, the best man asked the bride in front of everyone if she was going to be my MOH.  My friend said she wasn't sure since I have a sister, then all eyes were on me.  I was always planning on having them both, but I'm afraid because of the awkward timing it seemed like maybe I only said yes because I was put on the spot.  I made a point of noting that my friend would be a MATRON OH and my little sister would be a MAID OH.

    I called my sister (she's in college in PA, I live in NYC) and asked her.  She was actually surprised and said she assumed I'd have my bff.  I'm thrilled to have them BOTH!

    I would take her out to lunch and ask.

    Well, mine just assumed she was and started telling everyone so.  Not the best way to do it.

    I think she "knows" she is, but i think i owe to ask ...to make her feel special!

    We had always talked about her being my MOH and me being heard. When I got engaged, I "offically" asked her but she knew already.

    I just asked her in conversation if she wouldn't mind being the one to hold up my dress while I'm peeing.  :D  My MOH and I have a weird sense of humor.
