Posted: Maid of Honor Speech
OMG you’ve been asked to give the Maid of honor speech! The joy and honor of being asked to stand as Maid of Honor is relatively short-lived before you break out in a cold sweat over the thought of standing in front of a hall filled with people, all eyes on you!
Like other Maids of Honor before you, you begin frantically racking your brain over what to say. Wondering how long it should be and whether it should be humorous or not. Then, the doubt begins to set in. “Can I actually do this”?
Yes, you can do it! I am here to help, so sit back, relax and take a deep breath.
I have got plenty of resources that will help get you through this with style and ease. You are going to deliver the best Maid of Honor speech ever. Just you wait and see!
Firstly, if the thought of giving speeches chills you to the bone, don’t worry, because you are not alone. Do you know that public speaking is one of the biggest fears people have in common the world over? And let me tell you, having experienced this myself, that the adrenaline rush you get from confronting one of your biggest fears is awesome not to mention all the other positive spin offs you will experience in other areas of your life too!
Here are my top tips for giving the best Maid of Honor speech!
1. Hypnosis Audio Downloads for Public Speaking Confidence
Self-Hypnosis is the perfect tool for helping to overcome the fear of public speaking, PLUS increase your confidence at the same time. You can find downloads specifically tailored to help people who have a fear of public speaking and be well on your way to giving the best Maid of Honor speech you ever imagined possible.
I did some research and the best audio download I found was this one, follow the link to find out more: Self Hypnosis to Beat the Fear of Public Speaking
If you decide to download the audio programme, I suggest listening to it in the evenings just before going to sleep when your mind is likely to be most receptive. Don’t worry if you fall asleep during the recording as the positive hypnotic suggestions will still be accepted by your unconscious mind. You will be astounded by the positive results that can be achieved simply by listening to this audio a couple of times a week for a month or 
so before the big event.
2. Get Your Hands on a Great Maid of Honor Speech

3. Practise Delivering your Speech
Many people practice delivering their speech in front of a mirror. Although this is a good option, nothing beats a live audience, so find a friend or family member if you can to practise giving your speech to. They will be able to give you valuable feedback. You are going to do great, just remember: “It will be alright on the night!” Now for the Bachellorette Party. “What! No-one told you that is a part of your maid of Honor duties too?”
Excellent Maid of Honor toast. You’ll laugh and cry! The youngest sister gives the best speech- bride’s older sister in heaven (Cathy) gets props too!
