This is a great way to put your bridal shower over-the-top and make sure it's remembered and talked about for years to come!
And this doesn't require running to 5 stores or spending a single dime...but I guarantee it will be the most memorable moment of the shower!
what to say
Keep it short, 3-4 minutes max. Concentrate on the Bride, her marriage, and what her friendship has meant to you. The best
thing to do is get out a pen and paper and write down answers to the following questions:
- 5 words that come to mind when you think of the BRIDE as a wife
- Your first thoughts when she told you she was getting married
- What her friendship has meant to you
- Why you think she'll be a wonderful wife
Once you get this on paper, the ideas will start flowing. The only problem you'll have is how to fit everything into 3 minutes!
add a poem
If words are escaping you, use a love quote or marriage poem in your speech. Who said you have to write the whole
speech from scratch?
what not to say
Consider who will be at the shower. If this is co-ed, dont mention ex-boyfriends. If mom and grandma will be there, keep the
x-rated stories for the bachelorette party. And when in doubt...leave it out!
You can greet the guests with your speech, or have them raise their glasses when they sit to eat. Anytime is appropriate, but if you wait too long, some of the guests
may start leaving before you get the chance.
