Maid of Honor Speeches for Every Bride

It’s such a little thing that causes so much stress for the maid of honor, and that is the required speech at the wedding reception. Many people have a hard time writing maid of honor speeches, what should be included and how to organize your thoughts so there isn’t any rambling up at the microphone. Here are  a few basic tips for writing excellent maid of honor speeches.

Open with some humor. A good opening joke or bit of humor is a great way to break the ice with an unfamiliar crowd. Just be careful with your jokes so they don’t fall flat.

End with something from the heart. It could be a favorite verse, song lyrics, poem, or even a letter to the both of them as they start their new life. Remember to focus your attention on the bride, and make her feel special on her wedding day.
