Bride Speeches

Bride Speeches – How To Start

I was truly terrified when my fiance said we were each going to give a speech at our wedding. I’ve been planning my perfect wedding since I was 13 and, believe me, it did NOT include me giving a speech. But not wanting to disappoint him I agreed and set to work.

How I planned by bridal speech

I spent hours on the Internet and, if you are interested, you can just click here to see what I found to be the best source for bride speeches. The bridal speech is a lot like any speech but also very special and different in many ways.

Probably the first thing you want to do is thank everyone, especially the people who put in a lot of effort. Include everyone’s names as that makes them feel good and guarantees they will pay attention.

A good idea is to repeat your thank you’s again at the end of the speech very briefly. Include everyone in the wedding party, especially if someone had to come from very far away or you feel very honored that someone was able to come.

Of course don’t forget to mention your new husband. Express your love and gratitude for him and give a couple of examples. Try to get in some things both funny and romantic or emotional.

Finally, don’t forget to thank your parents because they created you and helped you become the person you are.

These steps make up the general outline of the speech. In my next post I’ll talk about some more particular details.
