Do I have to have a maid of honor? I’m Indian so it’s not really a key part of the wedding, but rather something fun to have. I have a younger sister and two best friends and I don’t want to have to choose between the two…can they just be bridesmaids? And if I do have a bach party (tbd on that too) they can just plan it together?

I agree with Google 1, you definitely don't need to. But if you do decide to have one and choose your sister I think your friends will understand.

I don't think you need to! I think it's fine if they are all bridesmaids! I've seen so many different variations.

Agree! If they’re all bridesmaids, appoint one to plan/ take lead on a Bach party, one to give a speech, and one to hold flowers/sign the certificate as witness. That way they can all have a role.

I had four bridesmaids and didn’t specify. I love them all!
