Many times is really hard to choose your maid of honor and best man. Just think that this is the person that will stand next to you and will help you anytime you need during your wedding planning. Is the person whose opinion you value and you want them to be there for you in the most important moments of your life.

Is it important for your MOH or best man to live close to you? Not at all! As long as they are going to be there for you when you need them. They might not be close to you during your whole wedding planning, but we are sure that you have friends and family that can help you too. Emails and IM apps are here to bring you closer.

It is also very important to communicate easily. Inform them how you dream of your wedding so they can advise you. Some MOHs and Best men take seriously their job and they plan to make their dreams come true. Talk with them and don’t let them take over your wedding planning.

Think in what point of their lives you want them to be. For example, if they are expecting or are already parents It won’t be that easy to follow your program of planning. As much as you want it you can make all of your best friends for these roles. However, you can ask them to help you according to their “talents”. Ask your fashion styled friend to help you with the dress and the decoration.

The most important thing is to communicate well with them and not to be afraid to speak your mind. This time of your life it is important to have around you people that you trust and love.
