The Maid of Honor Toast
Wedding speeches are filled with emotions, jokes, stories, advice and blessings. If you are asked to make a maid of honor toast then you must meet the challenge and work on making a great speech. Being the maid of honor, you are supposed to be the bride’s closest friend and so it is even more important for you to make a good impression with your speech. Here is a short format that will guide you in your composition. (Also see our Wedding Speeches guide for Father of the Bride).
- Greet everyone and introduce yourself
- Congratulate the couple and thank everyone for coming
- Express your love and joy for the married couple
- Share your views about the groom and how he is just perfect for your friend: the bride
- Spend some time talking about the bride, how beautiful she looks, what a great time you had with her in the past, what makes your relationship with her so special, what your feelings were when you came to know about her marriage and when she asked you to be the maid of honor.
- Tell a story from memory if it is really funny and something to do with the marriage. However, avoid telling too many stories as it will make your speech very long.
- Use some good one-liners available from the Internet to add a little spice to your speech.
- Conclude by giving your best wishes for the couple’s married life.
That is all that is required for a maid of honor toast. The rest of the presentation effect is up to your style. Speak confidently while looking at everyone. When you are talking about the bride, make eye contact with her so that she knows you are talking to her. Memorize your speech at least a day in advance and practice speaking it from memory without referring to your notes. This way, you will be more confident about your performance.
