     Adding Matron of Honor  

Hello,

I was hoping for some advice on the proper etiquette of adding another Matron/Maid of Honor. I already asked my one friend to be my MOH, but she seems very overwhelmed by the all of the responsibilities. She is financially troubled, etc. I really wanted to ask my cousin (she is already a bridesmaid) but she is getting married very soon and did not want to take away from her big day...Now that my wedding is getting closer I feel saddened to think that I did not include her as my MOH. She is very creative and I know will host lovely events and support me emotionally on my big day. I don't wait to hurt the 1st MOH feelings...What/How does one add another MOH tactfully and gracefully? I love them both like sisters. Everyone knows who is in the wedding so how do/should I do this?

Thanks,
Curious

Dear Curious,

At this point it just may be an insult to your MOH, as if saying that she isn't good enough. Plus, it may be an insult to your other bridesmaids, as if they aren't good enough to be a second honor attendant. So, it is best to leave it as it is. Any of your bridesmaids or friends could host an event. It is optional. And, any or all of your bridesmaids could 'be there' for you on your day.

Please remember that all prewedding parties are optional and you can not request them.

Best wishes,
