A Maid of honor speech is a lot like a best man’s speech in some ways, because it is a good way to have a little fun at the bride’s expense through humorous (and maybe slightly embarrassing!) stories. Hopefully, you will have plenty of stories to tell about her, in the same way a best man would have to tell about the groom. As with most wedding speeches, and easy way to get it going is to thank the master of Ceremonies for introducing you and your speech. It is always a nice gesture to thank the bride and groom for inviting you to speak, too. This is a nice touch, as a maid of honor speech isn’t usually asked for, so they must really like you! It’s nice to show our appreciation publicly. This is a good opportunity to talk about your relationship with the bride, and maybe talk a little bit about what she is like to be friends with. You can describe what she is like as a person and as a friend. It’s good to add some humor into this part, but also a little sincerity in equal measures to give things balanced and friendly. Do you have any funny and interesting stories about the bride? Or about the bride and groom together? Here is a good place in your speech to tell a funny story. As your maid of honor speech draws to a close, you could offer some advice on marriage or relationships. Make it funny if you can, rather than too preachy. You don’t want to be giving a lecture, you’re aiming for light hearted fun. Lastly, it is nice to finish by wishing the bride and groom a happy future with each other. |
