need help with writing maid of honor speech for wedding?

i’ve done a few of these…a good thing is to keep it short and sweet. If you get too long winded people start to loose interest. It’s nice to have some sort of story that you two did or something crazy. It’s always fun if it’s got some funniness to it but is also touching at the end….leave ‘em with a tear in their eyes
~good luck~

Renee, being the matron of Honor IS an honor. You were chosen because the bride thinks highly of you. Your speech should be from the heart.

Anyone can give a canned speech, but placing sincerity in a speech is different.

Here are a few questions you can incorporate into a speech. What is it about this friend that you cherish? Why will she make Jom Bob a great wife? What are some of her attributes? Accomplishments?

Something like this maybe: “I’ve known Linda for many years (insert # of years). She has grown into a wonderful young woman. She has worked hard to get where she is today (insert schooling, job, etc.) Linda is always such a kind giving person and will make Greg a wonderful wife because she is so giving and loving. Linda, I am so honored and proud you chose me as your matron of honor. I wish you and Greg all the happiness life can offer in a long and peaceful marriage. Salute.”

Remember the best man and parents will all have a speech too. Keep it short, simple, but SINCERE.

Good luck Renee…I am sure you will do just fine…..:)

traditionally, maids of honors do not do speeches, only the best man does. but if you are sure she wants you to do one, my only advice would be to keep it short and sweet. i recently went to a wedding where the best man, maid of honor, and then the father of the bride all did a speech! none of the guests like sitting through speech after speech after speech.
