    Your closest, dearest friend should be the Maid of Honor. That is the ONLY criteria.

    If you really can't choose between them, then don't designate a MOH. One can stand next to you at the ceremony and hold your bouquet and the ring; the second can sign the license as the official witness along with the Best Man; the third can give the toast at the reception.

    Generally the person you're closest to.

    However, there's no rule that you have to have one either. MOH is just a title a MOH at the end of the day is just a bridesmaid. Though, only one of them can stand next to you during the ceremony and that person will be your presumed MOH to everyone.

    The only thing the MOH does really is adjust your dress & hold the bouquet during the ceremony and traditionally signs the marriage license as a witness. You can divvy these up between the 3. Best Man often holds both rings since well, he has pockets to carry them.

    The only difference between MOH and bridesmaids is that the MOH walk down last, she fix the dress, stand next the bride, hold her bouquet and sign the marriage license. If you pick one or not, one will still be the last, stand next to you, hold the bouquet and sign the license.

    Some people would say split these things, beside signing the license, not sure how you would move them around to do the others.

    If two are friends, one family, pick family, nobody would be upset.

    Otherwise who did you know the longest? Who of the three, would you call first if there an problem? Ask that person.

    If they are all fairly equal, then don't choose - have them flip a coin to see who signs your marriage certificate. Other than standing closest to you and holding the bouquet when you're busy, there's not much difference. Sometimes it's not a good idea to rank your friends. If each one of these girls is just as close, just have three bridesmaids and call it good.

    If nobody leaps out at you, sometimes the best thing is to use logic. In other words, use the choice that's easiest to "defend".

    For example, if 2 of these are friends and one is your sister, pick family. If 2 are sisters and one is friend, pick friend and tell sisters you couldn't choose between them. If all 3 are friends, pick the one you've known the longest. If all 3 are sisters, pick the oldest.

    You don't have to choose any of them to be the person of honour; they can all be of equal standing.

    That position should be given to the person that closest to you & who would give their life to save yours.
