Making the Most Memorable of Maid of Honor Sister Speeches

Personal Advice




I have compiled a list of do's and don'ts for you to peruse with a view to helping you to give one of the most memorable and captivating maid of honor sister speeches.


  1. Do prepare your speech in advance of the wedding day - in advance of the wedding week even!


  2. Do include your greetings and congratulations. Check in advance if there are any special guests you should greet and if they have any special titles.


  3. Do include amusing anecdotes about your sister and about your relationship.


  4. Don't talk about ex boyfriends and definitely leave any potty training stories in the past. You want to evoke laughter not embarrassment.


  5. Do mention your sister's best qualities.


  6. Do congratulate her on her choice of groom.


  7. Don't include the screaming argument they had last week about the precise height of the wedding cake.


  8. Don't drink or hold a glass during your speech. Better still don't drink at all until after you have delivered one of the most amazing maid of honor sister speeches anyone has ever heard.


  9. Do have a glass (or two) of bubbly as you listen to the applause!


  10. Don't forget to get all the help and support you need right here!

I Carry Your Heart With Me by EE Cummins

In Her Shoes Poem

I have a male friend (who shall remain nameless) who cried at the scene in In Her Shoes where Cameron Diaz's character, as maid of honor, read I Carry Your Heart With Me by EE Cumminis, for her sister, the bride. I had included the video in this lens but unfortunately it seems to have beed removed from Youtube. One of the best maid of honor sister speeches moments - even if it was a little earlier than protocol would normally allow for! I have given you the poem below and you might include some or all of it in your maid of honor sister speech.

i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings


i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

    I could have used your fantastic info many times in the past. My extended family is full off girly girls who are all happily married now. I'll save it for the next lot of mini me's who seem to be growing up very quickly.

    Thank you so much for your comments Grace. I love this poem and think it should be taught to all who don't see the value in poetry - it certainly pulled at my heartstrings and reawakened my interest! Sssh, don't tell anybody but I shed a tear too!
