Writing your own bride speech can be hard to do on your own.  This is not just any old speech, it’s your special day wedding speech and you will want it to be just right.  If you are going to be videoing your wedding as most people do, this is the speech that you will be watching for years and years to come and so will your family.  Here’s how you make it a great one.

Tip #1 for a Good Bride Speech – Remember to thank all those people who are attending your wedding and have made the effort to be there.  You can start your speech by staying that you are really grateful that they have taken the time to be here on such a special day for you.

Tip #2 for a Good Bride Speech – Your bride speech will include thanking other members of the party including the maid of honor, best man and other member of the wedding party, but you don’t have to do them all at the same time.  You also have the caterers, staff and minister that you’ll want to thank, but you don’t want your speech to sound like a night at the Oscars.

Tip #3 for a Good Bride Speech – Saying a bit about your husband is a great place to include some humor.  You can tell the story of how you met, or something funny that has happened to you both.  It’s a good time to tell him how much he means to you and how happy you are to be marrying him and that you look forward to your life together.

Tip #4 for a Good Bride Speech – Finally you will want to include a few words to the parents, both yours and your husbands.  Thanking them for their support and influence will make them feel very special.

Don’t worry about embarrassing yourself.  If you practise you speech and make it your own, you can’t go wrong.  But to ensure that you get it right on the day – you can also look at the comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the perfect bride speech below.

Have you been practising your bride speech?  Does it sound ok to you?  Why not try it out on your maid of honor – she’s your best friend and will give you an honest opinion.  Here are some other tips that will help with your speech delivery.

The first tips is to build up your confidence.  Practising your speech will help to give you confidence.  Also remember that this is your day, so everything will work out just fine.

Also remember to include those very important people in your life in your speech.  Your parent, grandparents and husband are the most important.  Each will feel so honoured by your words and this is what it’s all about.

You should include a few personal stories.  These could be funny or just poignant and memorable. If you can’t come up with anything, you can always use words by other people that say what you want to say.  Song lyrics and poetry often work very well.

Including a word to your new parent in law is also good form and thanking all those who have made the day so memorable such as helping staff and contributors will also be a great way to end off your speech.

If you don’t have any ideas that come to mind, you could always look at some great speech templates to get yourself started.  Once you get the ball rolling, you’ll be amazed at how easy it all is.

So you have your list of things to sort out before your big day and your wedding gown is being fitted, now how do you go about writing your bride wedding speech?  You want to think about what kind of speech you want to give.  It could be funny, short, emotional, sentimental or just simple.  Whatever kind of speech you think is going to be best for you, you will want to make sure that you don’t forget anything.

Start with the thank yous, including all the people attending, all those making a contribution, your parents and family, your husbands family and also those who could not make it to the wedding.

Once you have thanked everyone, you will want to address your husband and tell everyone how happy you are and how he has made you happy.  You could include some humor about how you met or something funny that happened to you both.   If you can’t think of any story, you may want to include a funny one liner or refer to something funny like bridezilla or some other well known bride reference.

On your very special day, you will want your speech to be just as special.  This can be made possible with just a few tips and tricks.  In this article, I’ll tell you what they are.

Of course you’ll know that you want to thank people in your speech and knowing who you should be thanking will make your speech so much easier to write.  If you forget to thank someone however, it will be very upsetting, so make a list of all the people you want to thank.  Once you have your list compare it with your husbands list.  You will be thanking the same people but when it comes to caterers and other people who have made a contribution, just one of you would be fine.

When it comes to thanking your parents, you’ll know what to say, but it isn’t always that easy when it comes to your husbands parents.  If you know them well, then it may be easier thanking them for making you feel most welcome in their home and lives, but if you don’t know them that well, then you might just want to thank them for raising the man you love to be who he is.

You will want to thank your husband too and tell him how much you love him.  You could include a memorable story or something funny about how you met at this point of the speech.

Finally you will want to thank those people who were unable to make it to your wedding due to illness or death and would like to mention that they are also remembered.
