moh Problems

Sarah, on March 11, 2020 at 16:52 Posted in Before the wedding 0 2

Hi everyone!


When I first got engaged, I knew I wanted to have my closest friend as my MOH. She did say yes and it was planned that she was going to be my MOH, but unfortunately had to back out due to some personal matters, which I completely understood. However, it left me in a bit of an uncomfortable situation.


I felt obligated to ask one of my bridesmaids since I knew it would mean the most to her to have the MOH title, and I have known her for a long time and am good friends with her. Since I asked her, she completely took charge and immediately started planning things. I thought she was taking it all very seriously and moving really fast into planning mode, but that it would all be fine.... But, now I'm hearing from the other bridesmaids that she is not involving them in anything... She planned my bridal shower and bachelorette party without taking the other girls' opinions into consideration, and completely planned the bridal shower on her own and told the other girls what she planned for it. She went and booked the bridal shower and then told the girls what they owe her for money, and they feel uncomfortable since she didn't even discuss any of it with them.

I feel like I need to ask her to involve the girls more, but I also don't want her to feel like they are all talking to me about her behind her back. How should I confront her on this?

    You need to speak with her in a nice way and let her know the other girls want to help plan too that they are excited to help out o your big day and then just ask her to include them

    It sounds like you have a really enthusiastic friend, Sarah! That's awesome, but I can understand wanting all your bridesmaids to feel happy and included. Have you encouraged your other bridesmaids to offer their help to the MOH? Maybe the MOH feels like she is doing a good thing by taking on all the work of planning everything, and has no idea that the other bridesmaids want to be involved. She might be really happy if someone else offers to help her out. If the bridesmaids bring this up to her themselves it may not feel like you are talking about her, and there would be no need for you to step in. Could that help?
