I was in a similar situation. I asked my sister to be MOH but she's not in the best place in her life right now. She's just generally unhappy and anything related to the wedding pisses her off. My BFF has been amazing and so excited. I understand why you want your sister to be MOH, that's why mine is my sister. I really suggest having two MOH. It's so disapointing when someone isn't excited to be involved and it really put a funk on everything we did. Having an enthusiastic friend be a MOH as well will make things better. Just my opinion. :) Good luck!
I'm having my two sisters and a friend as my bridesmaids, I decided not to choose a MOH they are all just bridesmaids!
I couldn't decide between my two best friends, so I made them both MOH
4 of my sisters are my bridesmaids, I will not be assigning a MOH. It will result in some hurt feelings, especially because I am close to all my sisters. There's not always a need for any MOH except title. But if you want one, than I don't see why you can't have two MOH. It's YOUR celebration, you should be able to make whatever rule you want to.
Since you have 6 bridesmaids, why not have 2 MOHs?!
If I had that situation, I TOTALLY would have 2!
@Booknerd: yes, I agree why not have 2. I am having 2 because my BFF is in Europe but my one good friend who I known for the longest is here in the states.
I votevote ore to have 2 MOHs also. I only have 3 attendants and I'm having a Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor. I just couldn't decide between the two girls. I think in you case it would be totally acceptable, especially with that many attendants. It would also take some pressure off your sister who may not be in the best place to do it all on her own.
I had a similar situation between choosing my FH's sister and my sister.
(Backstory: there is a 12 year age gap between my sister and I whom I have never really been that close to and just starting hanging out in the last 2 years. My FH's sister is pretty much my best friend whom I have know and been very close with for 10 years). In the end I chose my FH's sister as my MOH (and her husband is my FH's best man). My sister and her 3 kids are in the wedding party as well as FH's other sister, her husband and daughter.
It may sound bad... keep in my stories can not be told in one post. And I am very happy with my decision. And the only thing that kept me deciding was how other people would react. In the end with the support of my FH I made the decision that was best for me.
With that being said.. do what is right for you.
I agree with having 2 MOH. Your family might not like it. My coworker and her family are upset because her sister is having her and her BFF as MOH. They wanted her to have her sister only as MOH. I think you should do what you think will make you the happiest on your day.

I am completely torn between my best friend and my sister for the maid of honor spot. My sister is a drama queen, recently experienced a bad breakup and is still suffering those emotions, admittedly finds it hard to share in my joy because of that breakup, and we have never gotten along very well, but we have our good moments. My best friend has been so supportive and has helped with the planning of my wedding without even being asked. This may sound easy just from this short paragraph....NOT SO!
I want so badly for my sister to be my MOH, for traditional reasons and because blood is thicker than water, not to mention the hurt feelings would be carried on through the years. My best friend is financially capable for planning my bachelorette party and is ready for action when it comes to anything I ask for help with and is so emotionally supportive.
I'm torn between the two of them. But I'm also torn between no MOH, or having 2 MOH's. I have been engaged for 3 months and the wedding is in 6 months and am starting to feel the pressure to announce the MOH. Any suggestions or helpful advice is much appreciated!
