Being maid of honor is a position of trust because you are a very important person for the newlyweds.

When I was maid of honor, I was in the same situation as you are now. I was also stressed out that I have to write such speeches even if I did not have any training for writing maid of honor speeches. Good thing I have the Internet. So I searched online for a guide to help me write my maid of honor speech. Let me share with you the tips that I learned online so you too can create your own speech.

1. When writing your maid of honor speech make a first draft. This first draft is used so that you can free write. Write out everything you can regardless of grammar and spelling, you can edit it later or have someone edit it for you.

2. Keep your maid of honor speeches short and simple. You can do this simply by using short sentences and avoiding long-winded sentences. Fill your paragraph with 4 to 5 short sentences to make your speech cohesive and coherent.

3. Avoid using fancy words that can only be found in the dictionary. This tip is in line with making your speech short and simple. When you use words that nobody will understand, you risk alienating your audience. The goal here is brevity so that you can draw in your audience.

4. use very descriptive words when writing your speeches. Show, don’t tell. Do as your creative writing teacher tells you to do. This means that you should use simile, metaphor, and imagery in your composition. This will greatly help engage the imagination of your listening audience.

5. Start your speech by introducing yourself. Remember that not everyone in the wedding knows who you are. The middle part of your speech should be for telling humorous anecdotes and inspirational stories about the bride and groom. You can tell numerous anecdotes and stories as long as it is within a single, unifying  theme.

Now you know how easy it is to make compelling maid of honor speeches. You too can really make your own speech if you follow the guide above. If you need more tips and tricks to help you with your speech writing, then click here.
