OK, so I have read through these posts, and now I know it is ok for me to have both a maid and matron of honor. YES!!! Now I need a little further consultation. My Matron of honor will be my lifelong best friend who moved away a few years ago. She got engaged a couple months before I did and will (hopefully) be getting married before I do (first she said 6 month engagement, destination wedding... now 3 months later, still no solid plans) all of this is ok so far, as my wedding will not be until March 2008. My Maid of Honor will be my new best friend (not really so new) My question is this, How do I explain to them in the best possible way, that they will be sharing this responsibility? Matron OH is far away and will probably have little to do with the planning, but is still VERY important part of my life, meanwhile Maid OH will have lots of responsibilities seeing as she is local, and I don't want anyone to feel left out, OR overworked. Please help, I feel overwhelmed already!!

Hi Jenny -
Having two maids of honor isn't such a new thing so this shouldn't be a problem. Simply let them know that they are both equally special to you in thei own ways. Provide them both with contact information and, if they haven't already met, introduce them; if not in person then, at least, by telephone. Ask them to work together to divvy up the tasks. There are many things your out of state friend can do without actually being present such as addressing and sending bridal shower invitations (if they decide to host a shower - this is optional) or any sort of organization task.
