Writing a bride wedding speech is very difficult for a few reasons. Firstly because it is not very common to have the bride speak at her wedding and therefore there are very few examples to work from and no particular traditional structure, but also because the bride is supposed to be beyond reproach and some of the more classical wedding jokes or one liners that are used in speeches are just a little too risky for the bride.
This doesn’t mean that you have to give a boring speech. You can get it right if you know what is required and prepare yourself well. The following tips will help you to give the kind of speech that will have people laughing and crying for all the right reasons.
Tip #1. Remember to thank people. Your family and friends and those who wished to be there, but were absent due to ill health or other reasons.
Tip #2. Lead into talking about your new husband with a classic quote or one liner and perhaps include some funny story about the two of you.
Tip #3. Don’t Get Personal or Lurid. Remember that there are all ages at your wedding and you don’t want to embarrass anyone, including yourself.
Tip #4. Delivery is vital. If you are a nervous speeker, then it might be best to stay away from too much alcohol until after you have delivered your speech.
Tip #5. Try to remember that you are giving a speech to your family and friends. Keep eye contact with them and try to relax as far as possible. This is a very special day and your speech should be special too.
