It's your sister's big day and YOU are the maid of honor! Congratulations! But before you freak out about the sister maid of honor speech, read on.
I'm going to show you three simple steps to get your creative juices flowing: 1.
Adopt the Right Attitude - Don't think of the sister maid of honor speech as a chore.
It's an opportunity to shine as the bride's sister.
Imagine standing up confidently and expressing your love and best wishes for your sister's happiness.
Remember attitude is everything, and if you know and believe your speech will be a success, then it WILL be.
2.
Start Writing Down Memories - Simply write down everything that comes into your mind about growing up with your sister.
Did your sister have any unusual talents or interests? The more ideas you write down, the more additional ideas will come to you.
Now start writing about the groom.
How were you introduced to him? How does his relationship with your sister work? 3.
Add Humor - After you write everything down, you will find that you have more ideas than you need.
You can now begin to pick and choose between them.
Add humor to the mix.
Find the stories that are the most interesting and give them a humorous twist.
You can find pages of wedding jokes on Google.
Pick a couple of one-liners and just apply them to your stories.
These are just mental "ice-breakers" to get your creativity flowing.
In order to fully prepare for your speech you should take a little more time to read and study your many options.
Do you want your speech to be primarily humorous or sentimental? How about a little of both? Take the time to learn the right way to do it.
