Funny Maid of Honor Speech Examples

The best way to give a maid of honor wedding speech is straight from the heart, but that's not always easy to do!

If you've been given maid of honor status but the idea of giving a toast leaves you with stage fright, then you'll love these maid of honor speech examples.

Before I wrote the examples below, I learned a lot from these speech templates.

It will walk you through what you are expected to say, and how to find those memories you want to share...and get the responses from the crowd that you're looking for.

Here is my review about these wedding speech samples.

Remember The Good Times

If you share a history with the bride, there's no doubting the fact that you have a little bit of "dirt" on her.

With a playful approach, the best stories can become part of the funniest maid of honor wedding speech. Be mindful of the bride's sense of humor (does she really want you bringing up embarrassing moments from her past?) and avoid mentioning any recent boyfriends or relationships. That boy she kissed in kindergarten is fair game. Her reason for breaking up with her most recent ex is not!

"When we were little girls, Anna spent hours dreaming
of what her future husband would be like.
Back then, she wanted Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse.
By the time she met Mark, she was just happy that he didn't smell like one!"

Celebrate The New

What kind of difference has the groom made in the life of the bride? Is she smiling more? Does she have a brighter outlook? Is she (*gasp*) cheerful every morning? Any man that can have that kind of affect on a woman must be one heck of a catch! Use these maid of honor speech examples as a guide.

"I've never seen Katie smile before noon! That was all it
took for us to know that Trent was The One."

"Abby just glows when she talks about Chris.
She obviously hasn't asked him to take out the garbage yet!"

A simply play on words - and on the stereotypical roles of men and women - can easily turn an ordinary speech into one that will be loved and appreciated by the audience. A person doesn't have to be married to be well familiar with the rules of matrimony, and your pokes at tradition will likely have the whole room laughing!

Toast To A Future of Happiness

Before you end your speech, you should always raise your glass to the future. You can't know exactly what is in store for the newlyweds, but it won't hurt to poke fun at the possibilities. Here are a few maid of honor speech examples with an eye toward the years ahead.

"Here's to the future, the pitter patter of little feet,
and a sincere hope that they all take after Linda!"

"I wish you all the happiness in the world, and, Chris, I hope you
lose your hearing long before Maria starts to sound like her mother!"

Friend of the Groom?

If you happen to be close to the groom and don't know the bride very well, giving a maid of honor toast can seem much more difficult! It doesn't have to be, however. Whether the groom is your brother or just a fabulous friend, you must know enough about him and what he's always been looking for in a bride to have a few kind words.

"Paul always had horrible taste in women,
but with Amy he has certainly redeemed himself!"

"My brother has always looked for beauty, sincerity, and kindness.
Lucky for him, his bride wasn't quite so picky!"

Hopefully these free maid of honor wedding speeches have given you the examples you need to get started and write a speech that will never be forgotten – in a good way, of course!
