Maid of Honor Toast

My sister was lucky to have been asked to be the Maid of Honor at her friend's wedding, but was then taken aback when she was asked to provide a maid of honor toast. She couldn't remember every having heard one before!

So she gratefully said Thank You to her friend and came to ask me.

I agreed with her -- traditionally, wedding receptions do not have a maid of honor speech. However that is just traditionally -- and "traditionally" does not mean that the practice is set in stone. In fact it is becoming more and more common to see speeches at wedding receptions that are more than just the traditional trio of Father of the Bride, Groom, and Best Man.

There are plenty of places where you can get advice to help with your maid of honor toast on the internet -- this one provides some useful insights, I have found. Have a look!
