The Mother of the Bride’s Speech

You, as The Mother of the Bride is not traditionally a speaker at a wedding; however, if the Bride’s Father is unable to speak, then you, the Mother of the Bride should take the mantle and speak on behalf of the family. You can speak before, during or after the meal. It could be your first time to speak or be heard in public, leading to concern, worry and anxiety for you as you think about what to say about your daughter and how to say it. Yes, it can be a daunting period of time in your life as it is constantly on your mind. What should be a wonderful and exciting day for all concerned; for some it can be the opposite.

Great Speech will help you as The Mother of the Bride to :

  • Write your speech early
  • Put all your thoughts on paper, covering everybody and everything
  • Give the speech structure and format
  • Deliver it authentically and from the heart
  • Look forward to delivering it
  • Receive praises and compliments from the guests afterwards
  • Want to speak in public again
