Two-Fers: The More (Maids), The Merrier

by Mia Bolaris-Forget (Staff Writer NYCityWeddings)

What if you have more than one sister, or more than one “best friend”? Or, what if you have just one sister, and one best friend, but you can’t decide between the two who will be the best at being your Maid of Honor.

Besides you don’t want to “offend” anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings. And, if you choose a friend over a family member you may be in for a bit of Hatfield and McCoy action.

Well the solution say experts is quite simple. “Refuse to choose”. Instead, they suggest have “multiple” Maid of Honors. Go, ahead, ask both your sisters, both your best friends, or whatever combination works best for you.

And, when it comes to the role each will play, give each of them the opportunity to decide. That’s right; include them in the wedding process right from the get-go. Once these special ladies have accepted this very special assignment, give them the option of deciding how much of an active role each would like to take as well as outlining their duties and sticking to each of their individual fortes. And, if you don’t want to cause any “friction” or potential “arguments”, simply ask them to take care of everything as a team.
