Funny Maid of Honor Speech Guide: Humor Done Right
Introduction
Adding humor to your maid of honor speech can make it memorable and engaging. This guide helps you balance humor with heart while keeping everything wedding-appropriate.
Humor Guidelines
- Keep It Clean
Use family-friendly jokes and avoid inside jokes that only a few will understand. Stick to anecdotes that make everyone laugh, like funny childhood memories or harmless quirks about the bride.
- Know Your Audience
If Grandma and the bride's boss are in the room, avoid anything too edgy. Use universal humor that resonates with a diverse crowd.

1. The Bride's Quirky Habit:
"Everyone who knows [Bride's name] knows she has an...interesting relationship with time management. So, when she said she found 'the one,' we were relieved she finally showed up early—for once."

"When I first met [Groom's name], I wasn't sure if he was ready for our family. But after surviving our Thanksgiving dinner chaos, I knew he was a keeper."
Best Practices
- Mix Humor with Sentiment: After a funny moment, follow up with something heartfelt.
