Giving the Best Mother of the Groom Wedding Speech – The EASY Way

If your son asks you to give a wedding speech to the mother of the groom, he will surely get nervous. If you haven’t been asked, but you’re wondering if you should give a speech, you’re probably just as nervous about making the wrong decision.

With these tips, you’ll be off to a good start, not only deciding whether you SHOULD give one, but also what to say during it. This can be as easy or as complicated as you choose to make it. Just remember, the day is about the wedding, not your speech, so don’t get too emotionally invested to make it perfect!

Tip #1 Thank everyone and welcome the new family.

Many times, the mother of the groom will give a speech (or toast) at the rehearsal dinner. She can start by simply welcoming the bride and her family. Be sure to congratulate the parents of the bride on having such a wonderful daughter and partner for her son.

You can make it short and sweet. A long drawn out speech will not hold the interest of the attendees.

Thank you all for being at the wedding. Acknowledging those who had to travel a good distance to be there, etc. This will show how truly grateful you are.

Tip #2 Share only happy moments.

The groom’s mother’s speech is not the time to repeat bad moments. It’s also not the time to embarrass the soon-to-be-married couple. If you plan to share a story or two, keep it upbeat and relatively entertaining. Remember, you are celebrating a grand occasion!

Once again, keep it to a respectable length. You don’t need to spend a lot of time sharing EVERY happy moment.

Tip #3 Ask the bride and groom what they prefer.

If you really don’t want to step on your toes, this is the way to start. If you haven’t been officially asked to give a toast or speech, the couple may prefer not to.

Don’t make it personal and be offended if this is the case. If you are uncomfortable with your decision, now would be a good time to talk about it BEFORE it becomes a problem and hurt feelings ruin a happy time.

On the other hand, if you ask the bride and groom and they would love for you to say something, they can also give you some tips on what to share. Asking never hurt anyone.

Now that you have some ideas on how to get started, it’s time to write the perfect wedding speech for the mother of the groom. Go for it!
