No, I don't think it is appropriate to have daughter be MOH. She is too young.

You can include her by having a family medallion ceremony. See site above.
If she wants to participate in the wedding, she can be a flower girl.
As for sis and best friend, don't decide between them. Simply have two MOH's. Tell them they must divide up the duties between them. Then make them decide how to divide the duties. Example: Best friend stands next to you during ceremony and holds your bouquet at the appropriate time. Sister signs the marriage license as a witness. Best friend is in charge of the bridal shower. Sister is in charge of the bachelorette party.

Why not have 2 Maid of Honors and your daughter the Flower girl?

Maid of Honor has to sign the wedding certificate and if she's not 18 she's not a legal witness. Pick who YOU want and let the other one get over herself. It's your wedding. Have your daughter as a junior bridesmaid. Good luck.

Hi and congratulations! I think that is a very touching thought, but not practical. I think she would be better as a flower girl. Why not have your sister AND your best friend both as your maid of honor. You can have two....this is done many times as it's hard for a bride to pick. Good luck!

yes... i would pick ur daughter.... because there is no point in picking one of your best friends or ur sister...it wouldj ust cause problems and fights later down the road while tryin to plan ur wedding... just make sure one of them will help take care of ur daughter while the wedding is going on....
or if you dont care she could stand there beside you the entire time for the wedding..
just be careful tho.. i was in my friends wedding and she had a 5yrold doing the flowers..and she was so tired and kept almost falling asleep...she eventually had to go sit down with her mom later... so make sure the lil one gets a nap right before the wedding.... in enough time to wake up and be refreshed too...
good luck

I believe it's fine to have your daughter as your Maid of Honor. Go for it. Congratulations!

A 4-year-old maid of honor?!! Think she can do all this stuff? http://www.theknot.com/ch_article.html?Object=AI980914211009&MsdVisit=1 (That list includes signing the marriage license as an adult witness and planning the bridal shower and any bachelorette party.) I think she's a great candidate for flower girl, however. :-)
Re. your sister and best friend, I agree with Suz's suggestion to have co-MOHs. You can divide up their responsibilities so they don't have to work together: For example, one can plan the bridal shower, and the other the bacherlorette party.

I agree with Suz. Besides, at that age she's too young to be able to sign the marriage certificate, so you are going to end up picking someone else for that honor anyway.
I think I even agree with Suz as far as having her for the flower girl - it may be more difficult than you think to have her walk with you and your Dad. If she's directly in front of you it'll be that much easier. I think it would be nice if at vows when your MOH comes up with the ring and hold your flowers that she come up with her and act as 'witness', but she's too young to be responsibile for rings, holding flowers, fixing your gown, all the things a MOH does.
It was a sweet thought, but also the chicken way out - you are going to have to choose someone else.

I think she is too young, but you can honor her in another way.
Congrats and good luck!
