Mother Of The Bride Speech Ideas And Tips

Ideas and tips to help you write a very beautiful mother of the mother speech without trying so hard

Today, I want us to see how to effectively write one critical aspect of the mother of the bride speeches.

As you probably you, the opening lines or the introduction of the mother of the bride speech plays a key role in the way you present your mother of the bride speech to your audience on your daughter’s big day.

Since first impressions count a lot, it stands then to reason that you should put a great deal of thought and effort into how you open your message since you can never ever have a second chance to make a first impression.

Besides capturing the attention of the wedding guests engaging them on a personal level, a heart-warming introduction certainly has the power to break the ice and relieve you from stress and nervous tension.

How Then Do You Do Write An Intro That Speaks To The Heart?

First, you can decide to make your introduction very humorous.

Most moms I have worked with, prefer giving hilarious remarks at the start of their speeches.

This Is An Example Of A Mother Of The Bride Speech

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming from all the continents of the world to be with us today. Thanks from the bottles of my heart. (Comments: the deliberate use of ‘’bottles’’ as though your tongue slipped when you really wanted to say bottom. This is to make the guests laugh)

Now, let us identify what made the speech funny. You would find out that the use of the word bottles makes it so. Can you imagine any other way to make an introduction rib-cracking?

Have you ever been to a comedy show where the humorist made you feel very happy? You might notice that several things about that performer made your day.

It could have been the way he walked on stage or how he was even dressed.

Sometimes, your words alone cannot make the wedding guests excited but how you appear on stage and what you appear with can make all the difference.

I recently wrote a speech for this woman from Australia and she asked me to add some funny lines even though the information she supplied wasn’t too interesting.

She told me her daughter hated seeing insects, so as I thought of how best to make her speech funny, I had this brainwave.

This is what I told her. Abigail, why don’t you wrap and present an insecticide spray to the groom and tell him to use it kill all those nasty and horrible bugs.

Believe it or not, our plan worked and the guests loved every bit of her humor.

These Ideas Will Make The Guests Say You Are The Best Speaker

For example, you can walk upstage in a rather bizarre wig or wear an unusual high-heeled shoes and you will bring the house down before you even say something about your daughter and son –in-law.

Please try it because it is one perfect way of engaging your audience.

Another way of opening your speech is by turning your speech into a song.

To put your speech in song, you simply write your speech from scratch and learn to sing it if you have a good voice.

Or you can model your speech-song based on a popular song you know of like this one: Martina McBride’s "In My Daughter's Eyes

Okay, here are the lyrics to help you sing along.

Lyrics

In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise
And I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes

Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
How it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart is had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Let’s see how to do just that based on a song written by any musician.

First, let’s see Martina McBride’s "In My Daughter's Eyes" and then I will show you how to get something written out of her lyrics.

Please note: To get something memorable out of this song, you need to tweak it a bit to suit whatever you want to say.

But first look it up online and see how she sings this beautiful song so you can get an idea of how to go about it.

Now, watch me while I change some of the words in her song to write a wedding speech you can really sing.

Ok, enough said, let’s dive right in.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am Amy, mom of the bride.

My eyes are filled with tears of joy as my daughter leaves to start her own. (beat in the background to accompany song)

In her eyes, I was a heroine.

I was the strongest and wisest person she ever knew

But the truth is God was preparing another hero for her.

He was sent to rescue her when God saw I was growing old and she needed someone to love and cherish her like I do.

In her eyes, I see joy and happiness.

But mine is full of tears because she’s gone to be with that special person she loves and cares for deeply.

But I don’t have to worry because I believe in her new guardian.

(Insert groom’s name here For example….Dan told me that being with my precious baby girl makes him feel like God is so near and it conquers his fears.

So I find a reason to believe in my daughter’s eyes because it gives me the strength to carry on knowing an angel is holding her back.

Ok, I am Interested, What’s the Cost?

You simply pay what you want after you’ve got your beautiful speech.

I am happy you asked. Please let me explain. Money may make the world go around, but I believe otherwise.

While money has its place, we value other things more. Other things like fairness, integrity, compassion, respect, and love for one another.

While some mother of the bride speech writers and writing services, charge hefty fees, we at Standing Ovation Speeches offer a more compassionate, kind, and understanding solution as we understand that not everyone has the same budget.

Wealth is not evenly distributed so we work on a pay what is a fair price/what you want/name your price model.

I am not kidding when I say that. I am not just kidding about that.

We mean this with our whole heart because we know that not all wallets are created equal.

Here’s why we work with a pay what is a fair price/what you want/name your price model.

You see, prior to covid-19, we used to charge a flat rate which was out of reach for most folks and very few folks could afford our speech writing services.

When covid-19 ravaged the world, we realized that most people were feeling the pinch money-wise and couldn’t pay for our services.

So, after a careful consideration, we decided to come up with the pay what is a fair price/what you want/name your price model so every mom gets the chance to speak and shine.

As a result of that, most mothers have reached out to us for help with their daughter’s wedding speeches. We have since become the go-to-resource for mothers seeking help with their wedding speeches.

''It was perfect Dan. I changed a few things in the speech. And I had several people come up and tell me how well done it was. I couldn't have done it better. Thanks for your help''- Marilyn, Canada
