Mother of the Bride Wedding Speeches – Words of Love
You know it’s a huge honor to be Mother of the Bride. Your daughter expects you to take a major role in her wedding day, and to publicly and privately support her as she embarks on her new life with her husband-to-be.
But it’s not just the honor – you also feel the sense of responsibility.
You’ll be expected to play a significant role in the wedding, the reception, and to invest a lot of time and emotion in supporting your daughter hroughout the (sure-to-be-stressful) days and weeks leading up to the big day. It’s a time when you’ll need to be very, very supportive of your little girl, and do your utmost to ensure that she finds the transition to her new home and new life an easy one.
As well as playing the role of the number-one emotional cheerleader, you’ll also be required to take an active part in the more hands-on aspects of the wedding: helping to choose the wedding dress and the bridesmaids’ outfits, finding and helping to decide upon the wedding’s venue, liaising with the new in-laws, handling the budget, dealing with the invitations and the guest list, and handling wedding and reception details (like seating arrangements, menus, and decoration).
Phew!
But – it’s not the long lis of tasks and responsibilities that cause the average Mother of the Bride’s knees to start knocking. Sure, there’s a lot to do, but most mothers are used to that kind of responsibility (or else they wouldn’t be mothers, would they?)
No, the thing that gets most Mothers of the Bride quaking in their shoes is the prospect of making the Mother of the Bride Speech.
The audience is challenging – everyone is all different ages – no-one really has anything in common except varying degrees of acquaintance with the bride or the groom.
The pressure is huge. You want to please your daughter, impress the new in-laws, make yourself look good, and deliver a touching, emotional, and funny speech. With all the other responsibilities requiring your attention there’s usually comparatively little time to devote to the speech itself.
Fortunately, somebody out there has come up with the perfect solution!
I’m talking about Dan Stevens’ Mother of the Bride Speeches – Words of Love: a comprehensive, step-by-step manual that’s completely dedicated to the speech-making duties of the Mother of the Bride. With this package, Dan’s cut out all the dead wood ahead of time: the book doesn’t just deal with making a great speech in general, but how to make a great speech in the exact context of the Mother of the Bride. This means that all the information and tips supplied are 100% relevant and useful.
In fact – you get to choose your own level of input. If you don’t feel like writing a speech from scratch, you don’t have to. With 20 complete, professionally-written speeches written explicitly for the Mother of the Bride, the guesswork is taken out. (As one pleased customer testimonial says, ‘There are so many different scenarios involved, it’s virtually impossible to find one that doesn’t fit your own circumstances!’)
Every one of these speeches has been deliberately designed in a manner which enables you to pick and choose the aspects of each one that you like the best, and then meld them together into your own, personalized, version.
It’s incredibly simple: all you have to do is change the names and circumstances to suit your own, and voila – a perfect speech in moments.
All in all, I’m extremely impressed. This really is the complete package: everything you could need to deliver a professional and quality speech (and actually manage to have fun at the same time – something most people don’t normally equate with public speaking!)
But don’t take my word for it: check out the website and see for yourself:
Mother of the Bride Speeches – Word of Love
Make sure you check out the testimonials – as far as customer satisfaction goes, they really speak for themselves!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this book to any and all Mothers of the Bride. In fact, I’d go one further: this one’s unmissable. So don’t miss out!
i have to make a speech at my sons wedding as there are no men to do this , help !
Angela,
exept for the welcoming and opening greetings I think of two ways to approach this that may help:
1 – You speak as a parent – not only the mother of the groom
2 – You address the newly-wed – not only your son
I recommend you check out Mother of the Bride Speeches.
With the ebook you also get 20 sample speeches. Check the testimonials on this page and also check the “WeddingSpeech4U Reviews” link at the bottom of the page. There you will more success stories. Note all who have cut from the different sample speeches to make their own speech. I believe you will be able to make a speech that is appropriate to your situation too.
