You don't have to have a maid of honour and you have as many bridesmaids as you want and if you don't want any don't have any xx

I have two grown up bridesmaids and 2 children bridesmaids/flower girls. I can't decide between the big ones so not having a 'maid of honour'

I think you can do whatever you like but my maid of honour is indesposable, I would still be panicking about where I was going to get married, where I was going to buy my dress, and what invites I would have. I wouldn't have thought of any of the little things she has thought of, I'm pretty sure I'd be walking barefoot in just my dress walking down an undressed aisle with no one there hahahaha but I suppose it depends on what kind of person you are and the type of person you would have as your maid of honour. If you're organised and know what you want maybe you don't need one.

I had 4 adult bridesmaids and 2 little girls. We didn't have a Maid of Honour as I couldnt choose one sister over another. At our church, maid of honour should sign the register but I wanted my Mum to do it so not having one wasnt an issue for us.

I had 4 bridesmaids and no maid of honour. All of my bridesmaids were equal in my eyes so couldn't single one out

I had 3 bridesmaids and 1 mini bride none was chief bridesmaid or maid of honor. All were equal in my eyes

I couldn't choose a maid of honour from my 3 bridesmaids so I was going to have my brother as my man of honour. Sadly he passed away a couple of months ago so now I'm back to just having my bridesmaids x

It's your wedding you can have whatever you want. I had a maid of honour and 10 other bridesmaids x

You each need a witness, it's a legal requirement which has evolved into the maid of honour and best man, but you don't need them to do anything other than sign the marriage licence, that's all mine is doing

You need a bride & groom - everyone else is optional. (Apart from a witness - that is).

In short, you & yr h2b, don't worry about who has done what and how. Do whatever both of you want and enjoy.

I'm still undecided on number of bridesmaids, it could be as many as 7 . I don't think I'm going to have a MOH as all my maids are equally as important to me
