Which of my sisters should I choose to be my maid of honor?

Okay...just because I'm really curious and have always wondered about this...which one of my sisters should be my maid of honor? They are only a year and a half apart. Should I base it on youngest or oldest or something else? Could I have two maids of honor?





I'm not planning on getting married anytime soon because I'm only 18...I'm just curious to see what people think.

Which of my sisters should I choose to be my maid of honor?
You could have 2 maids of honor. There's no rule against that. Or you could just pick the oldest for that honor. I had a close friend be my maid of honor and my sisters be bridesmaids because I didn't want 2 maids of honor and I didn't want to make one of them feel bad.
Reply:There's nothing stopping you from choosing both.
Reply:your maid of honor is the one that is married , the rest are brides maids, and if by then none are married, you may want to ask a good friend that is, so that you will not upsett any of your sisters:)
Reply:My husband has three brothers and they were all his best man. No harm in making them both maids of honor, especially if they can both pitch in with something (one helps with flowers, the other with the food or whatever). The only time I would pick one over the other is if both sisters agree to it or if one is several hundred miles away and will not be able to help with the planning as much as the other.
Reply:you could either have two maids of honor or just do what i did. go with one that you get along with better. or you consider a friend not just a sister.
Reply:Definitely choose both, otherwise you'll have a battle on your hands!
Reply:you can absolutely have two maid of honors. that would be great. but if you absolutely had to choose go with the oldest one if you are equally close to them. if not, go with the one you are closest to. but yeah, it is absolutely fine to have two maid of honors
Reply:In the UK a married maid of honour is called a matron of honour. Others are called bridesmaids. And it doesn't matter how many of either or both you have. Between you, you can even add page boys, grooms attendants as well as the best man, and a ring-bearer. It depends what your finances allow.





If you want to keep the peace, though, unless one of your sisters specifically says she ~doesn't~ want to be a bridesmaid/matron of homour, get 'em both dressed up!
Reply:Usually the oldest...you can get away with that easier. But, if you're closet to the younger one, and this is an accepted fact, then it should come as no surprise to your oldest sister if you choose your younger one.
Reply:have two.... by the time you get married one might be married too then your problem will be solved
Reply:You could have two maid of honors. There is no problem with that. Why are you thinking about that now?
Reply:ha ha, ok.... just choose the 1 that you can really depend on
Reply:It's like this the maid of honor is married her self but your bridesmaids are single so if one sister is married she should be your maid of honor and the other a bridesmaid but if niether are married you better get someone who is to be your maid of honor and let your sisters be a bridesmaid it's kind of like if your not a virgin you shouldn't wear a white gown but an ivory one that way you don't take that special moment from those who did wait and can appreciate there special moment and be glad they waited but hey who keeps wedding traditions anymore
Reply:depends on which one you have a better relationship with...


or you could base the whole thing on not lettng either one be the maid of honor... and pick your best friend.. if you say a speech you can talk abouthow they fought gladiator style to be maid of honor... but they just werent good enough...haha.. idk..thats tough.....
Reply:I do not have any sisters but I have 3 very close cousins. I chose my youmgest cousin she was there for me. Not that my other cousins were not there for me they helped me find my dress and etc but they were married with kids they helped out the best they could and did they do great.


I also chose my sister in law to be my matron of honor. My cousin also enjoyed helping me plan every detail and I could not bother her with any question or any favor.





My brothers I have 3 they chose a friend so as not upset the others.


You can chose both if you want
