     My mother as my matron of honor?  

i want to ask my mom to be my matron of honor. I'm not sure how this looks or if its proper. I am closer to her than anybody else besides my fiance. i already have three bridesmaids and none are close enough to me to be the maid/matron of honor. Would it be okay to still have her sit with my dad at the wedding and just put it in my program that the mother of the bride is the "matron of honor" or "honorary attendant"? i would greatly appreciate anyone's suggestions! thanks so much!

Dear Loves Mom,

She could be your MOH. I'm not sure about making her an honorary MOH, because it wouldn't make much sense with her sitting during the ceremony. It would be much better for her to just be your MOH.

Best wishes,

I think this is a very sweet gesture, however it is the mother's day too, just to be able to see her daughter take part in such a beautiful moment in her life. I have a friend that her daughter has asked her to be her MOH and my friend is trying to be kind and decline but the daughter is persistant. My friend is looking for any info on the proper etiquette on this subject. It has to be written somewhere that this action is not exceptable. PLEASE HELP!!!
