Hi, Madison here……

When it came time on the wedding day to give my big Maid Of Honor Speech, I tried to think back to all of the Maid Of Honor Speech examples I had looked at.

I had my little note card just in case and just tried to remember all of the Maid Of Honor Speech Tips and Ideas I had learned over the course of the prior week just before the wedding.

From that experience, I wanted to give you soon to be Maid and Matron’s Of Honor, my recipe for making a successful speech.  Cool!!  So, let’s get cooking  :)

Step 1: Start with the speech preparation. Just as you would preheat the stove and lay out all of your ingredients, you need to prepare the maid of honor speech. Take your time, start early, and think carefully. Remember this next point.  You do not have to write the whole speech in one sitting. You can work on it off and on for a while, and you may find that ideas come to you over time.

Step 2: Next, use a heaping cup of sincerity. The most important ingredient in any maid of honor speech is emotion and honesty. Do not be afraid to make a few people cry, and remember to make sure the words come from your heart. This is vital to creating a speech that the bride will treasure.

Step 3: Add in a dash of humor. A funny maid of honor speech is always a hit at the reception. Mix up the moments in the speech by telling a funny story from the bride’s past or an anecdote about the happy couple. Humor is a great way to break up the seriousness of the speech. Just make sure to withhold any embarrassing moments. You do not want to ruin the day by hurting the bride.

Step 4: This recipe should only bake for a short period of time. In other words, do not make your speech too long. Otherwise, you will lose your audience and your speech will seem to ramble. Make sure it is meaningful and relatively short.

Cool!  That’s my recipe.  If you follow these guidelines, then you will be golden. Even with all of this, I had to get a lot of help and used some high quality resources to help me with all areas of my speech.  The best thing of all is to check out as many Maid Of Honor Speech examples as you can to help your speech be what you want to be.
