Writing Maid of Honour Speeches That Will Leave Everyone Speechless!

Recently it was my turn to create my first ever Maid Of Honour Speech. As i had absolutely no experience what so ever in this department my first though was to turn the Internet for ideas. I soon realized that there was hardly any helpful sites specifically on how to write a great memorable Maid of Honour Wedding Speech.

So that prompted me to try and create a site here. I also have a passion for cooking so i thought i would cook up ‘Sophie’s Recipe To Your Perfect Maid Of Honour Speech.’ Including important speech ingredients.

Step 1: start with your speeches preparation. Just as you would preheat your oven and lay out all of your ingredients, you need to prepare your speech. Please take your time. Start planning your speech early. Make sure if you can leave plenty of time before the wedding. This will leave room to correct any mistakes and of course, time to practice delivering your speech.

Step2: Include a cup of sincerity. This is an essential part of any Wedding Speech. Honesty and emotion is a vital seasoning to a powerful Maid of Honour Speech. The key is to always speak from the heart. Who knows, you may even get a few tears in the audience. Hit this nail on the head and your speech will be a guaranteed success.

Step 3: Include a pinch of humor. Clever and tasteful humorous Wedding Speeches are always a massive hit at wedding party. If you can try and keep the jokes and puns relevant and personal to the happy couple everyone will love it and be impressed. Humor is also excellent to inject into a speech because it will keep your audience attentive as well and mixing up the emotions in your speech. This will make it memorable for years to come.

Step 4: This recipe should only bake for a short period of time. In other words, do not make your speech too long. I’m sure you know what i mean when i say “There is nothing more boring than a speech that rambles on forever.” You will lose your audience and your speech will be a flop. Make sure it is meaningful and relatively short.

Step 5: When dishing out you speech remember to speak loudly and clearly. If you audience can not hear you they will get bored and restless and all your hard work and preparation will go to waste.

Also, try to keep eye contact with the crowd and project your voice around the room (but don’t worry to much as you most likely will have a microphone.) The eye contact will involve the crowd and make the speech feel more personal, resulting in their full undivided attention.

Oh and my last quick tip on serving your speech is to stand up. This may seem a bit obvious but this simple task can be very nerve wracking as you will be the immediate attention of that huge crowd. YIKES. But try not to chicken out as this really will help them to see and hear you and you speech will have the full impact. Making it be one to remember.
