Being a Maid of Honor or a Bridesmaid is a truly great honor for everyone out there. However, please be aware of the fact that this comes with certain responsibilities too – such as giving a beautiful, elegant speech at the wedding, for example. How to do this? How to create a speech that will be memorable, sweet and heart-warming? Here are some tips to keep in mind:
• Short and sweet. Don’t exaggerate with the length of your speech. Everyone knows that you are one of the bride’s best friends (so there’s a lot you would like to tell her on this special moment of her life). However, keeping the speech under 5 minutes is the best option if you want to make sure nobody gets bored.
• You can be funny. Sometimes, Maids of Honor and Bridesmaids feel that they cannot be humorous with their speeches because this is the “Best Man’s job”. However, that’s not true. You can add a bit of humor to your speech too – and the other guests will definitely love it!
• Don’t forget about the basics. There are certain “basics” all wedding toasts have to include: expressing how happy you are for the couple, including a personal note (make sure you don’t get too sentimental!) and wishing the couple all the amazing things in the world.
• Don’t procrastinate. Start writing the speech as early as possible and make sure you give it some thought. Also, practice does make perfect so give yourself some time to do this too!
