Maid of Honor Speeches - How to write a great speech
Maid of Honor speeches follow the Best Man's speech and you certainly don't want to flounder and embarrass yourself by not having anything prepared.
Apart from supporting your friend, the bride, by calming her nerves, helping with wedding preparations and of course organizing the bachelorette party or bridal shower, you may also be expected to give a speech on the day of the wedding.
This is your time to show the appreciation of the friendship you have with the Bride and also to wish her well in her marriage. The Best Man will have mainly concentrated on the Groom in his speech and so it is now your turn to say something about the Bride.
To avoid too many nerves or worries on the day begin preparing your speech as soon as you have been asked to be the Maid of Honor. If you start this early then it can be finished and practised weeks before the wedding date arrives. This will leave you with plenty of time to enjoy helping the Bride with any wedding preparations, dress fittings and all the other tasks a good friend and Bridesmaid should carry out.
