How To Ruin Your Maid of Honour Speech
When making your maid of honour wedding speech there is one thing that can really ruin your wedding toast like nothing else. That is the consumption of too much alcohol. It is very easy to think that drinking alcohol will help your wedding speech but it can actually seriously damage it.
You might have planned your speech really well and on the wedding day think that you will just have one or two drinks to make your maid of honor wedding speech go more smoothly. I wouldn’t say do not drink altogether but I would certainly advise you to monitor carefully exactly how much you have before standing up to give your toast. If you are in any doubt then I would say avoid it all together until after you have given your speech.
What you don’t want is for your maid of honor wedding speech to be remembered for your drunken performance. Even if you’re not completely inebriated a little too much drink can cause slurring of words and certainly affect your concentration.
Remember that if you have planned your wedding day speech then do not worry about it and don’t think that drinking a lot before giving your speech will improve it or make it easier. You will only regret it afterwards and so too will the bride and guests.
