Do i actually need a Maid of Honour?

We have no wedding party at all, we have different friends helping with different parts of the wedding but no special designations. It would have been hard to do since my besties are very different and I would have felt I needed to ask my SIL. So I say there’s no need cuz I didn’t lol

You don't need a MOH, you really don't even need a wedding party if you choose not too. You just need someone to witness your signatures on your marriage license.

Not every wedding is based to have a wedding party or anyone id chosen. We had eacha MOH and BM only.

For a wedding, you need the couple, the officiant, and a witness. That's it. Everything else is totally up to you!

You can totally have just bridesmaids and a brideman My two girlfriends were my BMs and not until the day of the wedding did the MOH topic come up. My one friend said they could both be MOH because as she was married she could be the Matron of Honour and our other friend could be the Maid of Honour. In my mind they were on equal footing the whole time.

I have 6 bridesmaids and didn't designate one of them as MOH. They can all help with everything this way and then it isn't all left up to one person. Also, I did not want to hurt any feelings between all my best girls! And it doesn't matter to any of them either!

The only thing my MOH is doing more than my bridesmaids is signing for me. Id say you could very easily have no MOH!

I am not having a MOH, both my friends are super busy and they are helping with odds and ends but they wouldn't be able to take on the whole duties.

View quoted message Yeah I think having my brother sign makes the most sense, and I'll continue with my no MoH plan!

View quoted message Oh good! Yeah, my one best friend is married and we all shared most duties as bridesmaids (she similarly didn't want to elevate any one person over the others). We did a 4-pronged speech and it didn't suck! Haha. But she did eventually have her sister be her MoH.

I just wasn't sure if there was something that I was missing if I went the "eff-it, no MoH" route. So thank you!

You don't need to give one of them the title of MOH. They can just be your support system and equally help where they can. MOH is the one on the group that will sign as witness normally so maybe your brother can do that.

There doesn't need to be a maid of honour. The typical maid of honour roles can be split amongst the bridal party. In the weddings I've been in, the bridesmaids have all helped with the bachelorette, shower, stag and doe etc anyway, and so the maid of honour just had to worry about the speech/toast and signing the registry.
