Best friend or 15 yr old Sister for Maid of honor?

Who would you choose as your maid of honor, your best friend since elementary school or your 15 year old sister? I love my sister but i'm not sure if she would be able to take on the task but i don't want her to feel left out if i didn't choose her...I always thought family first but i'm not so sure...who would u choose?

Best friend or 15 yr old Sister for Maid of honor?
My best friend.





There is a lot of responsibility involved with being the Maid of Honour - doesn't the saying go the Maid of Honour handles everything the bride doesn't want to? - and it may be overwhelming for a fifteen year old girl.





I personally think that your Maid of Honour is the person that you are the closest to in the world, for me that's my best friend and I wouldn't feel right not having her right there beside me. My sister will be a bridesmaid in my wedding, and she will not be offended in the least. She will still have an important place in my wedding (I'm asking her to give a speech at the reception as well) and I will be able to have the person that has always been beside me since I starting riding my two-wheeler to when I broke up with my first boyfriend to the other person in the delivery room when I had my son (my best friend), beside me on the most important day of my life... And not to far from her will be my sister... Smiling back at me.
Reply:Choose your sister or have both!





Even if she is young, i think family should be maid-of-honor..





Just explain to her that you will be getting your best friend to organise some of the things that are a bit harder for a young girl to organise.





You should include both of them in all your preparations for the special day, make them both feel included.. but i think your sis should be given the title, or that you shouldn't decide between the two, but have them both be maids of honor..
Reply:Choose your sister. My sister will be my maid of honor, and at the time of my wedding she'll be 14, almost 15. She's one of my best friends, and my sister. The way I see it, she has a special place in my heart, and life, so she should have an equally special place in my wedding. My older friends, including my best, will be bridesmaids, and will help her fulfill her office, because I understand that there are somethings she isn't old enough to take care of on her own.





My sister and I have some of the best times planning together =]
Reply:Part of the MOH's duties include hosting the bridal shower and bachelorette party. She has to help with the gown and veil, handle the drunken flower girl, and calm you down when you get the jitters. Can a 15 year-old handle all that?


Make your sister a bridesmaid. It's just enough but not too much responsibility, and she still gets to wear a pretty dress.
Reply:If your best friend is married you could always have her as the matron of honour and your sister as the maid of honour.





If not, rather than choosing between the 2 why not just make them both bridesmaids rather than having a maid of honour (or make them both maid of honours).
Reply:My friend had the same problem, she had her sister be the junior maid of honor....her dress like the maid of honors were different then the rest of the bridesmaids, everyone thought it was lovely...


so dont choose- because feelings could be hurt, just have both.
Reply:i am having my sister. but i think you have to be 16 to sign the marriage certificate, which tradititionally the moh and best man do.
Reply:I would choose the best friend, as you stated "sister may not be able to handle it" and maybe use the sister as a bridesmaid,
Reply:Best friend


find a way for your sister to be included in a different way


she'll understand


Id never expect my older sister to pick me
Reply:guess what? i have a sister and shes NOT my maid of honor.


i chose my friend from elementary school, just cuz i know she wont fight with me, or start crap.


plus my sis, not really that close..
Reply:You dont have to choose, both can be maid of honor....I had 7 matrons of honor, i wasn't about to pick one sister/friend/sister in law over another.
Reply:WHY NOT CHOOSE BOTH


OR


CHOOSE THE ONE THAT WILL GO TO YOUR FUNERAL WHEN YOU ARE 90 YEARS OLD


FAMILY IS FAMILY AND THEY WILL BE AROUND A LOT LONGER SO PICK YOUR SISTER
Reply:Choose the best friend and make you sister a junior bridesmaid or junior made of honor.
Reply:Don't choose- ask both. They're both really important to you so why should you have to choose between them for the "happiest day or your life"?
Reply:I had two, because I couldn't choose between my best friends.





Have them BOTH! You'll make them happy and keep you happy and stress-free on that issue.
