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.
