Tips & FAQ

One story beats a list of memories

A long list of "remember when" moments blurs together. Pick the one story that shows who the bride really is, then tell it well.

Two to three minutes is plenty

That is about 260 to 400 words. The room is warm and wants to cheer; a short speech with one good story lands better than a long one.

Talk about the two of them

Spend the last third on the couple: what you noticed when she met her partner, and why they fit. That is the part people remember.

Read it out loud three times

Change any line you trip over into how you would actually say it. Keep tissues nearby and pause before the toast.

How long should a maid of honor speech be?

Two to three minutes is the sweet spot; much past five and the room drifts. Pick 1, 2 or 3 minutes and the speech is written for that length at a relaxed speaking pace. Read it aloud once with a timer and add or trim a line to fit.

What should a maid of honor speech include?

Who you are and how you know the bride, one good story about her, something kind about her partner and the two of them together, and a toast to the couple by name. The generator follows that shape.

How do I keep it from getting too emotional?

Put the most emotional line near the end, right before the toast, and keep the rest light. "Funny and heartfelt" is written that way, so you have something to lean on if your voice goes.

Will it sound like me?

It is written in the first person around the story you give, but it is a draft. Swap in the phrases you actually use, add a detail only you know, and read it out loud before the day. It is told to use only the facts you give and to leave a highlighted [hint] where another real detail would help, but it can still slip in a small invented detail, so check every sentence is true.

Can I use it as a matron of honor or bridesmaid?

Yes. The speech is written from whatever relationship you type in "She is your", so it works for a sister, a cousin, a friend or a matron of honor.

How much does a speech cost?

A full speech uses 3 credits. Every new account gets 3 free credits plus 1 free credit each day, so your first speech is free. If you want another version, credit packs start at $4.99 for 50 credits.
