The maid of honour speech is a rather new component of the wedding tradition. Because it is new, there are still no rules to be followed in creating this speech. Nevertheless, there is a general idea to what this speech should contain, these include the following components.

The prologue - You can be funny, serious, or formal in your opening lines. You can crack a joke, cite a meaningful quote or thank the audience for their attendance. No matter how you choose to open your speech, this should be followed with a short introduction about yourself. A lot of your listerners may not know you, for their sake and for yours, introduce yourself. Tell them your name and how you are related to the bride or the groom. After a brief introduction, express your gratitude to the bride for choosing you as her maid of honour.

The main points of the speech - The maid of honour speech is a speech that is especially to the bride. In fact, the entire speech, save for some parts that discuss how the speaker feels, discusses on the bride. It shares some meaningful insights about the bride's character, her attitude, and her relationship with people, especially his groom. However, in the recent years, many maids of honour have veered towards describing the couple according to the observations of their friends.

Anecdotes about the bride and the groom are incorporated into this part of the speech as well. A general advice on selecting anecdotes – pick ones that are tasteful. Avoid choosing ones that talk about experiences that are best left unsaid.

The main body is also the appropriate section for talking about the significance of the occasion to the lives of the couple. Personal views and opinions are also allowed here.

The conclusion - The speech is wrapped up after all the necessary details are mentioned. Although there is no general rule for ending the speech, most maids of honour end their speech it with an encouraging message to the newlyweds. Alternatively, the final remarks may also present the couple with the maid of honour's best wishes. These sort of inspire the newlyweds to look forward to a wonderful future together. This part can be customized however depending on what you, as the maid of honour, think appropriate.

The ending toast - The entire speech is ended with a toast to the couple on behalf of the bride. The toast can take the form of a regular toast or a funny but meaningful message.

The maid of honour speech, like the father of the bride's speech, is in most cases sentimental. More often than not, it remembers precious little memories while encouraging the newlyweds to look ahead for a happy future together.
