The secret of a good bridesmaid wedding speech
When it comes to writing a good bridesmaid wedding speech, there are a lot of things you can say, include and consider. But what I am going to reveal now, is the most important thing of them all, when you are writing your toast – it is not the only thing to consider in your toast, but it is definitely the most important thing of them all.

Write from your heart
Okay okay – you have probably heard it before, and maybe it sounds like a tacky or simple trick. But there is no way around it; this is definitely the most important thing in your toast. When you are writing down what you would like to say, keep it true and keep writing from your heart. Everything in your speech has to be important, both for you, the bride, the groom and everybody else at the wedding.
I don’t help making a lot of jokes, trying to be fun or whatever, if there is no honesty at all in your speech. This is what I discovered when I made my first bridesmaid wedding speech. If your jokes if funny but still comes from the heart, everyone will laugh and remember the speech.
Being funny is being honest – but not too honest!
You have probably heard the expression: “It’s funny because it’s true”. Yea, it really works but think about what you are going to say. Embarrassing or humiliating the bride, groom or parents at the wedding doesn’t work – and talking about ex-boyfriends or other relationships NEVER works – don’t ever start on doing that.
But some jokes about the funny things you have done with the bride, maybe how it was after she med the groom, is all things you can consider to put in. Start by writing down what you feel is important, and don’t think too much about how it can be funny. If it comes from the heart, you have a much bigger chance of moving the guests at the wedding, and then you will truly make that speech nobody will forget.
