Have you ever been to any wedding you always look back on with really fond memories? If you have, then there is a possibility that one of the things that made that wedding night very memorable was how the toasts were delivered.
You might have concluded after that wedding party that someday when your friend or loved one is getting married, you too will rise to the occasion and make a funny wedding speech that will be on everyone’s lips all night long.
Now, that day is here and you have to make your dreams come true. But what do you say in a way that will set you apart from the rest of the wedding speakers and make you the talk of town.
It’s actually simple than you’ve ever thought possible. But first, let’s look at a few crippling and negative thoughts that deprive many wedding speakers from delivering funny maid of wedding speeches and how to make sure you make one with remarkable ease even if you are not a naturally funny girl.
Myth number 1: Your toast has to be hilarious from the start to the end of your wedding speech. Not entirely the case. If can make everyone laughing from when you grab the microphone to when you say your last words, then you should consider joining the American Comedy Institute. You just need at least one funny anecdote to achieve your goal.
Myth number 2: They say that you can’t deliver a very funny maid of honor speech if you are not like the famous comedian, Mr. Bean. Whoever said that might be joking. You can employ easy-to-follow tricks to make everyone happy. For example, you can throw the house into rapturous delight by wearing a bizarre wig or simply acting like a drunk before you speak.
Having seen that, let’s take inspiration from these funny maid of honor speeches by reading through them very carefully. After that, we will split the second example up into bits and pieces so we can figure out what goes into writing a very funny maid speech or toast.
Please note: The first example is from the sister of the bride to her sibling, the second is by a friend of the bride. You may go over both if you have enough time or just scroll down to the second template if you are her friend. Enough said.
Now, let’s think through what I think it’s one of the funniest maid of honor speeches out there.
Here Is the…
Funny Maid Of Honor Speech Sample/Template for a Friend or Sister
First and foremost, I would like to thank this website for sharing this toast.
“Hello everyone. My name is Natasha, and I am very happy to be here tonight to celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Mary to her new husband Felix. Mary, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Felix is one lucky man!
If you don’t know the story, Mary and Felix met each other at her sister’s wedding almost 3 years ago, and it was love at first sight. No distance could keep them apart, and even from the Dominican Republic, Felix serenaded Mary over Skype and text messages.
His charm and sweet words soon won her over, and she took a leap of faith in love and moved to the DR to teach for a year and of course be close to Felix.
And now Mary and Felix, because of the trust you had in each other and in the love that you shared, you are finally able to live and love together as husband and wife, and even in the same country!
To the beautiful bride Mary: we met back in first grade, and I am honored to still be one of your closest friends and celebrate with you on this special day.
Typically the maid of honor gives some marriage advice. I am not yet an expert on marriage, but I am an expert on Mary. I know that Felix will not only be your husband but your new best friend. So Felix I would like to share some insights from Mary’s very old best friend to her new very best friend.
- Felix, if you ever upset Mary, just remember that she loves ice cream. And if you really upset her, try French fries dipped in a chocolate shake.
- Mary will not be afraid to knock sense into you when she feels necessary. I once said the wrong thing and she threw a pillow at me, which happened to contain a hardbound textbook. Who keeps books in their pillows?
- Felix, a word of warning, Mary was a hurdler in high school. So don’t stand in her way, because she can and will jump over you.
- If you ever get tired of her talking, just send her out for coffee with some friends. But only if you can handle caffeine hyped Mary.
- Mary is the queen of procrastination, and she seems to do her best work in the middle of the night. Felix, uh, you can take advantage of this…
Felix, you are now prepared for all that lies ahead. You have chosen a wonderful woman to be your wife and all I ask is that you take good care of her and always keep her laughing.
And to Mary, thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I love your infectious laugh, open heart, and brutal honesty. Always remember that I, along with the rest of your friends and family will always be here to support you.
Before I finish, I wanted to share part of a letter that you had written to me on our high school graduation day: “Natasha, we have been through life’s ups and downs together and we are still standing strong.
As the day that I move approaches, I pray that our friendship will endure forever so that one day we really will sit next to each other in rocking chairs watching our grandchildren play and reminiscing on these wonderful days of our youth.”
Well, Mary we still have a long way until grandchildren, but tonight you are one step closer!
Please raise your glasses to Mary and Felix. May the happiness you have tonight only be the start of a wonderful life ahead.”
I actually smiled reading through this presentation and even gave the writer a thunderous round of applause. I am not sure if anything I have ever read or heard can outmatch this amazingly funny maid of honor wedding speech!
Well, that’s my opinion. But, did you really enjoy reading both funny maid of honor wedding speeches? And which was your favorite? I bet it’s the second example.
And by the way, did you learn a thing or two from reading that unique and creative maid of honor wedding toast?
I think it’s an honorable thing to keep your promises. So, without further ado, let’s set the wheels in motion by considering how you can write one of the best maid of honor wedding speeches anyone ever heard at a wedding reception using the ideas we got from both samples.
First and foremost, let us consider what goes into the introductory remarks and how you can write a captivating opener without trying so hard.
Here’s the excerpted example to guide us every step of the way.
“Hello everyone. My name is Natasha, and I am very happy to be here tonight to celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Mary to her new husband Felix. Mary, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Felix is one lucky man!’’
This is a fairly simple maid of honor speech introduction. But you can hold the wedding guests in awe by making your remarks a little different from what is said at most weddings.
How so?
Well, after saying who you are and your relationship with the bride and groom, you may start with one or more of the following ideas.
First, you can break out into a hilarious song like the one below if you have an amazing voice. You can make it very lively by personalizing the music a bit and set it to a song everyone can sing along to. For example, you can modify the lyrics of this song by adding a few details about the bride and groom.
After mentioning your relationship with the bride and groom( Hello and welcome everyone. I am Michelle, proud sister of Mary and her maid of honor), you can start with a bang and here are a few ways of doing that.
Second, you can come on stage with some weird hairdo and act like you are a comedienne.
Third, you can start by sharing a hilarious anecdote about when you first met the bride. If you are her older sister, you can share something funny that happened prior to her birth. It could be a funny story mom and dad told you about having babies or what mom said or did before she was born.
If you are her friend, you can dive right in by letting everyone know how and where you met her and what drew you to her side. You may as well as share a little story about the bride and groom. This approach is popular with most wedding speakers.
Here’s an example:
Fourth, you can make your opening remarks very unique by waxing poetic even if you don’t want your entire speech to sound like a poem. The wedding guests would bask in delight when you make it rhyme.
Below is a funny maid of honor poem that rhymes at the end.
10 years ago, I met this girl at a trade fair
She was a happy girl so I called her Miss Fair
Turns out she was Amanda
Miss Fair loved to smile and give
Even when there was nothing to smile about
So we gave her another nickname Miss Smiley
And with that she became Miss Fair Smiley
Can you give that a try? You may use this poem as a starting point to come up with yours. What better way to start your funny maid of honor speech on a bright note!
Now, let me ask you this. Which of those ideas would you like to use for your opening remarks? Just pick one and run with it and you will bring the entire house down with joy and laughter.
Now, let us look at...
How To Easily Write the Structure or Outline of Your Funny Maid of Honor Wedding Toast
Do you know why most maid of honors struggle with putting their thoughts together even though they have so many ideas about what to say?It’s because the vast majority of wedding speakers don’t know where to start.
It’s common for wedding speech givers to quickly put down their thoughts and just edit resulting in stories that doesn’t capture the true essence of their relationship with the bride.
Just like any other creative endeavor, you need something that has worked so you can model your speech after that.
From writing maid of other speeches and other wedding speeches for people around the globe, I have developed and mastered a simple plan that can help you put across your storyline convincingly even if you are as confused as a fish on the seashore.
Here they are:
First, you have to decide on the style you wish to use for the body of your funny maid of honor speech. Styles to choose from include witty, sentimental, rhyming, musical, poetic, hilarious maid of honor wedding speeches or a combination of all styles if you want your speech to be a massive it.
Second, for your mind to brim with excellent ideas, you have to make time and watch a couple of videos so you can figure out how funny maid of honor wedding speeches are made.
Below are some great clips for you. Press on the play buttons, enjoy and you will get a fair idea from watching clips.

Fourth, read these questions thoughtful and write your answers next to each question. These thought provoking questions can help you do just that.
- When did you first meet the bride?
- Where did you first meet the bride?
- If you are the older sister of the bride, you can share how you felt when your little sister was born
- How has your relationship blossomed over the years?
- Are there any funny and fond memories you recall that you wish to add to your wedding toast? List as many stories you want to include and cull your favorite(s) from the pool of stories
- Are there any funny quotes or jokes you wish to add to your maid of honor wedding speech? Here are a few you can plug into your script.
- If you are married, then what do you want to tell the couple?
Now, I have a mini-assignment for you. Have you provided answers to those questions above? If you have, then go back and read the examples (the two) we looked at the onset of this write-up for some inspiration and write a draft which you can fine-tune until it looks great in content and structure.
Now, let us quickly wrap by looking at…
How to End Your Maid Of Honor Wedding Speech
The closing remarks of your funny maid of honor wedding speech toast are as important as your opening address so you really have to put in a lot of thought into how you conclude your presentation.
Here are some creative and fun ways of ending your speech with a bang.
First, if you are married, then you can share your marital experience with the couple. This works all the time.
Second, I have never seen this done. But, it will definitely work if you end with a simple quiz. For example, after you have talked about the bride and groom, you can ask those around to answer a few questions about what you said and give gifts to those whose answers are correct! You and the guests would have so much fun doing this.
Third, you can end with a poem like this or even customize it a bit.
"THIS MARRIAGE" BY RUMI
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May it be sweet milk,
this marriage, like wine and halvah.
May this marriage offer fruit and shade
like the date palm.
May this marriage be full of laughter,
our every day a day in paradise.
May this marriage be a sign of compassion,
a seal of happiness here and hereafter.
May this marriage have a fair face and a good name...
Third, if you have a good singing voice, you can probably modify the poem above and sing along to the beat of a well-known song and everyone will be happy with your delivery.
Fourth, if it’s a godly or Christian-centered wedding, you can end with some bible verses about marriage and love. Here are some passages from the bible that can enrich your message.
Ephesians 5:25: "For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her."
Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.’’
Epheisans 4:2-3
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Fifth, you can close your remarks with any of these funny and poignant quotes.
- "Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on X-Rays but you know it's there." -George Burns, comedian, actor, and writer
- "…true love is never blind, but rather brings an added light." -Phoebe Cary, American poet
- "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss, author
- "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds." -Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
- “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”Dave Meurer
Using the last quote, we can end up writing something like this:
Mike and Amanda, you are both a lovely couple and I would like to read you a quote I once read by Dave Meurer.
It goes like this, ‘’ “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”
You are a beautiful couple with perfect imperfections. So, as you build your lives together, learn to make concessions for each other and you will always enjoy each other’s company. We love you both and wish you all the happiness and love in your marriage.
Sixth, you can end with a joke.

We can help you make your friend or sister proud and the wedding guests say great things about your speech.
