What Is Your Prefered Mother Of The Bride Speech?

You see, there are three main types of mother of bride speeches you hear when the couple is getting married:

The ordinary which is fairly common.

The truth is, just anyone can write an ordinary speech. A teenager who doesn’t know much about love can even write one...Such speeches often don’t grab the attention of the guests.

Unfortunately, many of the words you’ll ever hear at most weddings plus the free wedding speeches you’d find online belong to this category.

Next on the bill are….

good mother of the bride speeches. This kind of wedding speech tries to use words you can relate to but has no power to get you excited.

Wondering how to do that? Don’t worry because I am going to show you how to combine wit, humor, and a story in the same speech to create a wow effect, so don’t throw in the towel yet.

Being a wedding speech consultant to several mothers around the world, I know what it takes to write one.

To create a simple outline for the speech I intend to write, I start off by asking myself these simple questions:

How did you feel when your daughter was born?

What were your dreams for her?

How was she like when she was a toddler?

How was she like when she reached her teens?

What are her accomplishments in life?

What are your proudest moments about her life?

Why will you miss her?

Why do you think the groom is a perfect match?

Why do you really love her?

What do you want to say to her? For example…Amanda, you’ve always made me so proud but no words can describe the joy I feel deep inside my heart as you’re getting married to the man who has the key to the door of your heart.

What advice do you have for her or well-wishes?

What do you want to say about the groom?

What are his wonderful qualities?

Noticed how these questions follow one another?

Well, I have deliberately arranged it in that order so that your speech can flow coherently after you have provided answers to them.

Let’s use answers to questions 1-4 to write a brief extract.

How did you feel when your daughter was born? I was happy

What were your dreams for her? To be successful

How was she like when she was a toddler? Very creative, loving and loved to dress up

How was she like when she reached her teens? Very focused, obedient and very supportive

Now, let’s try and write our mother of the bride speech.

GREETINGS, SELF-INTRODUCTION AND APPRECIATION

I would like to thank you for coming and I wish you well. I am Grace, Mary’s mom and Jerry’s mother-in-law.

On behalf of my family, I would like to welcome you all.

SPEECH BEGINS

At birth, it was prayer and hope that she becomes a successful person.

As a toddler, she was very creative, loving and loved to dress up.

I remember when he would put on makeup and put on my fedora hat and tell me that he wanted to go on a date with his dad.

Growing up, she was much focused and kind.

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
