If you mentioned, funny mother of the bride speeches, then I say congratulations because you really know a thing or two about speech writing.
However, writing a very funny mother of the bride speech isn’t always easy because the information given to me by most mothers is as boring as a joke gone bad.
But I always do my very best to come up with something hilarious. I don’t know if you are a naturally funny person or not.
But, thanks to the following ideas, you too can easily write a hilarious mother of the bride wedding speech that will make your daughter, family, and the guests feel very happy and proud.
Before we start, here are a few things you should consider if you really want to speak with confidence and poise.
Change This Thing About You And You Will Make It
Have you ever felt embarrassed after being asked to give some remarks before a group of people? If so, I can only imagine what you are going through at this very moment as you prepare to make another speech.
But you don’t have to worry because you can channel your nervousness into strength if you look at the bright side of things and work on overcoming your past errors.
How so? If you ever goofed terribly speaking before a crowd, you need not get so fixated on that even though you will get flashbacks of that experience every now and then.
The trick here is to promise yourself that you are going to make a difference this time around and then focus on reaching the desired goal.
The more you focus on your desired goal; you will certainly become a perfect picture of what you repeatedly set your mind on. So, from now until you grab the microphone, keep envisioning yourself saying nice things about your daughter and son-in-law and you will be energized from within to speak with confidence and clarity even if you are as timid as a fish trapped on land.
What’s more, some folks erroneously believe that you need to have the funny gene to come up with a very funny mother of the bride speech. Contrary to what most people think, you don’t have to be a naturally funny person to write the best ever mother of the bride toast even though it helps to an extent.
Remember, you are only there to tell a story about your relationship with the bride. So, all you need are good memories of the best moments you and your precious daughter have had together.
With that being said, you just can’t start writing without getting a clear idea of what to say and what not to say.
Well, guess what? Mother of the bride YouTube videos can help give you a clear idea of how such speeches are made.
By the way, I found two video examples for inspiration and guidance. Just grab your pen and notepad and jot down ideas you really think can help you plan what to write for your speech.

Funny Mother Of The Bride Speech Example/Sample
Good evening and thanks to everyone for coming to the wedding of my precious daughter Pearl and my son-in-law Chris.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you a story. Many years ago, a French husband and wife were traveling through Eastern Europe with the wife’s aged aunt.
The old woman had been pains in the butt from the word go, complaining about everything… the food, the hotels, the weather, and the people.
Finally, she went too far and insulted a small nation’s queen. As a result, all three members of the family were sentenced to corporal punishment in the form of fifty lashes.
However, because the nation did not wish to be viewed as hostile to foreign visitors, the queen agreed that each be granted a wish before receiving the punishment.
The wife said that she would like pillows to be bound to her rear end and so the pillows were tied in place and the aunt received her fifty lashes. Finally, it was the husband‘s turn.
''I have two wishes if that’s possible'', he said
That’s acceptable… said the Chief Of Police. ..I am empowered by her royal highness to grant you two wishes. What are your wishes Sir?
First, I would like to be given one hundred lashes instead of fifty.
The Police Chief stood speechless and asked: ''Are you sure? That’s an unusual request. Nevertheless, I would grant your wish and what’s your second wish''
I want my wife’s aunt to be bound to my back.
As Pearl and Chris, embark on the journey of marriage together, they will surely encounter similar situations because we don’t live in a perfect world. But they can make the most of every situation by seeing challenges as blessings in disguise and they will come out together stronger for it no matter what life throws at them.
Chris and Pearl, my hope and prayer are that life would be abundantly kind to you and you will hold onto each other in good times and bad. God bless you and we wish you the very best.
Did you see how different that example was? If the father of the bride is making a speech, he would probably say a lot of nice things about your daughter. But you can make yours different as I have just shown you if you want to.
Don’t be so scared of getting off the beaten path and experimenting with something new because you can be loved and respected for that. Well, you may give it a try.
That being said let us see how to write a funny mother of the bride's speech toast.
Before we do that, let’s look at some comedy techniques you can employ to endear yourself to the wedding guests.
First is self-deprecating jokes. This is where someone makes a joke about himself or herself. You may use this if you want to make fun of yourself.
Another is stand-up comedy: a delivery style whereby someone entertains with jokes and humorous stories. This is employed by most mothers who share hilarious anecdotes about their daughter’s life.
Another is a situational comedy: a kind of comedy arising out of everyday situations. It is similar to stand-up comedy.
Now, which of those styles will you go for? Please decide and write it down. It’s also possible to combine two or more styles.
Now, let us see how to write a humorous speech for your daughter and son-in-law.
To do that, you should start by saying thank you to persons who have helped your daughter become who she is today.
Such people could be her dad, grandparents, siblings, sister-in-law, etc. So, put down their names and explain why you are thanking them.
This is an example: I am also indebted to my sister Beverly (Pearl’s Aunt) for her love and attention. Aunt Beverly is the “fun” aunt and party thrower!
Got it? That is how it is done.
After you have said that, you need to engage the audience. Well, you can’t force yourself to act like a clown if you are not a naturally funny person.
Here some ideas that can provoke laughter even if you are not endowed with a funny gene.
- If your son-in-law is from another country or belongs to a different culture, you can learn how to greet the audience in his dialect and you will have some good laughs nonetheless.
- You may start by saying: ''I promise that this is going to be the funniest mother of the bride speech you have ever or read’’ and then you roll down a very long sheet of paper and jokingly add this to your speech: ''Seriously, did you believe me when I said that? Remember, I have raised her for 30 years now. She’s my baby girl. You are even luckier to have gotten these few pages considering how long she’s been under my roof…I just didn’t have the funds for a blockbuster movie about her life…I would have tried.
- Funny mother of the bride speech toast one-liners or jokes can help you put one foot in the door :
Here’s a funny quote by Elizabeth Stone: ''Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
Now, let me show you how to use that funny quote to make a short but funny mother speech about your daughter.
A wise woman once said that making a decision to have a daughter is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. Well, I didn’t know that until Danielle was born.
If you are planning to use idea #3, then you have to make sure the anecdote you will share has a connection with the strength of a woman’s heart or an event that demonstrates how tough she is.
- You may start with a good joke or make fun of the bride without upsetting her.
- Some mothers have very horrible singing voices. But if you can sing like this mom, your introduction will be a massive hit! Here's an example:
- You can also come to upstage in funny clothes or with props like a bizarre-looking wig or a weird pair of glasses, everyone will laugh out loud.
- You may share a funny story about how you felt when she was born
Now, let us look at how to write the content or body of your toast. Sometimes, you don’t have to look for a funny word or technique to get the guests excited.
Telling a funny story or event can get everyone excited. Such tales can be either real or imagined as a truly authentic funny mother of the bride speech comes out of sharing funny incidents about your daughter's life.
Even if the story is imagined, you can make the most of it by connecting its morals to the theme of your speech if you want it to sound more impactful.
I once used that story involving the husband and the aged queen at the outset of this article and the client loved it so much.
From that story, we can glean the following lessons
Lesson # 1: It pays to be courteous
Lesson # 2: Contentment in life is a great gain
Lesson # 3: Every decision has its own consequences
Perhaps we can add this cliché: ''If you go to Rome, just do what the Romans do.''
Let’s now see how to use any of those lessons to write a short funny mother speech.
Funny Mother Of The Bride Speech Example/Template
Amanda, you look so happy like a truly beautiful princess and it gives me joy that you’re going to build your life with Steve.
As you may know, marriage is a lot like the story I shared at the start of my speech. Marriage is like a roller-coaster ride…It’s has its own ups and downs…
So, you need not complain like the aged aunt who went too far and insulted a nation’s queen when times are pretty tough because you can never have all you need in this life.
Learn to be content with the little things that come your way because you can only have much when you appreciate the little you have got.
I hope you have seen how we infused …lesson # 2: ''to be content with the little things that come your way'' into that short extract?
That’s exactly how you can write your speech using a funny story.
If you don’t know a tale like this one, you can share a true incident that you think is funny about your daughter.
It could be about memories you have accumulated with your family or her.
Do you recall such stories? Write it down…putting as many of them down will help because you can pick which one you want to add to your script.
Your speech can also sound very interesting if you compare your daughter to a known item.
The following example can best explain what I want to put across.
Another Example Could Be This
Congrats Tom on finding such a caring, loving, and gifted wife.
If Brittany’s mind were to be taxed she’d get a rebate because she’s very smart.
On a more serious note, you have found a loving, diligent wife who loves children and has some outstanding family values.
So, please be sensitive to her needs, protect her with all your strength, and don’t forget to pamper her with gifts. But do so in moderation else you might go broke like a church mouse because my daughter is such a tireless shopaholic.
To create an outline for your speech, you can provide answers to the following questions:
- What are some fun and fond memories you wish to share?
- What was your daughter like when she was a little girl?
- What was she like when she was growing up?
Your speech should strike a fair balance since you have to say something about your son-in-law.
So, simply ask yourself these questions:
- What were your first impressions when you first him?
- Any funny memories about the time you have spent with the groom and his family?
- What are his beautiful character traits you really admire?
- What do you want to say to him about your daughter?
Having provided responses to the questions above, sit down and put together a rough draft. The appropriate use of similes and metaphors can help transform boring sentences into thrilling ones as you string your thoughts together.
For example, instead of saying your daughter was fun to be around. You can turn things around by rendering it like this:
Amanda was like a microwave when she was growing up. He was very was easy to take care of, very warm on the inside, and her constant, sunny smile warmed the hearts of everyone she ever met.
What you come up with as you write your funny toast for your daughter might not look great initially. But you have got to still work on it until it looks perfect.
If for some reason, you cannot write something quite similar to the example above, you can model your speech after this one.
Now, let us look at how to write the ending to any funny mother of the bride speech toast.
- First, you can end with a hilarious poem about marriage.
- Second, if you have a good voice for singing, you can belt it out to make it hilarious. Here’s an example:
- Third, if you are very gifted with words, you can make your conclusion rhythmic. Below is a short example
It doesn’t matter where you go
You can always make it through any snow
And together you will make it work no matter how it goes
Try reading this out loud and you will notice how rhythmic the closing lines are. You can try composing one from a very good piece of poem.
- Fourth, you can share some time-tested marriage advice based on your own personal experiences like the one below.
Here it is:
Both of you are on the same team together and it takes a few things to make your marriage work as you envision it to me. So, always treat each other with love and respect. Never stop being friends and have some adventures every now and then. That way, you will be creating a strong marriage.
- Fifth, you can simply end with some best wishes for the couple if you don’t want to give a piece of advice. You may use a couple of these:
-I am so happy about your wedding, although you'd remain my little princess always. May you have a wonderful life with your life partner and enjoy it to the fullest!
-May you have a big beautiful world that is full of love, joy, trust, and memories!
-Congratulations on starting a new chapter of your life and wishing you joy, adventure, and laughter for your married life. May you have a successful married life filled with God’s choicest blessings!
- Sending you my warmest wishes for today and always. God bless your marriage with lots of love, happiness, and trust that will enrich your life as a couple. Congratulations!”
- “Congratulations on your commitment, your wedding, and your marriage! May your future bring you joy and happiness all the days of your life’’
Please bear in mind that your speech shouldn’t be funny from start to the end of it.
Again, if you are a deeply religious person or a Christian, you can use Bible verses like the ones below to make your speech sound sweet and spiritual.
Ecclesiastes 4:9: "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?"
Ephesians 5:25-33: "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, ..."
Suppose, you want to talk about how happy you are for the bride, you can write a short example from the last verse:
I knew he would be the one to love you with all his heart. The man who would take on the role of head of your family with certainty. Someone who desires to uplift and encourage and love you as Christ loved the church. What a blessing! Congratulations, honey!
Afterwards, you may end with your mother of the bride speech with a toast to the bride and groom.
P.S-- As a mother of the bride, everyone will be on the lookout for your great speech and you can't let the bride and her husband, friends, and family down by giving an ordinary speech.
