What can my friends sister be in the wedding?

Alecia: What can my friends sister be in the wedding?
My best friend is getting married. She asked me to be the maid of honor because her sister is underage. She wants to give her sister a title higher then a bridesmaid, but doesn’t know what to call her.

Hmmm usually they call people that age the jr bridesmaid…so i guess she could call her jr maid of honor? so she would be between moh and bridesmaid 🙂

Answer by Whispers
Yep. I’m with Jaihires. Junior Maid of Honour sounds good.
Your friend could also just have 2 MOH’s?

Answer by Nox
She can still be maid of honor if she is under 18, she just can’t sign as the witness…

Answer by thebabe1
Personal Attendant. Have her list the sister in the program separately too. Her sister will be thrilled!

I agree with what has been said so far. The official term for someone who is younger than a bridesmaid is “junior bridesmaid,” but to me, that sounds like a lower status. Junior Maid of Honor is another good suggestion, although not an “official title.” If the bride is close to the bridesmaid, I like the suggestion of “Personal Attendant.” If they’re not close, but the bride still likes the rank, I’d stick with the Junior Maid of honor. And if the sister is even younger, I’d say it’s more than acceptable to have her be the flower girl. That is a higher rank than bridesmaids, because in the walk down the aisle, it goes Bridesmaids, Maid or Matron of Honor, flower girl, and then Bride, and is specifically organized that way in order to pay tribute to the Honor Attendant.

That being said, use the order of the march to declare the sister’s rank. Even those not educated in wedding rhetoric will subtly note that the sister holds a significant place in line.

And as you are standing at the front of the ceremony, I’d suggest still placing her at the end of the row, for aesthetic reasons (that way it still looks good in pictures instead of a drastic dip in height), and still placing the maid of honor closest to the bride (she’s the witness, she’s also able to hold a ring if the Bride so chooses, and she’s supposed to hold the bouquet. If this sister’s a little older, play with it according to what feels right.

Answer by Because I Said So
tell your friend you can both be MOH. her sister will be really pi$ $ ed when she finds out she’s not the MOH just because of her age. that’s no reason not to have her as MOH.
