Written By Amanda Layton

Bride putting a corsage around her mother's wrist.

Are you a MOTHER whose DAUGHTER recently got ENGAGED?

First of all, congratulations!

I bet you are ecstatic!

As the mother of the bride you aren’t necessarily expected to give a speech at the reception, but maybe part of you wants to say something short and sweet about the newly married couple.

I love that and want to support you in this!

Here are 4 writing prompts to help you start brainstorming content for your speech:

1.) DAUGHTER’S GROWTH

Mother and young toddler daughter at the beach.

Look back on your daughter’s life, both the good times and the hard times.

How has your daughter grown and matured over the years?

Why are you proud to be her mother?

2.) POSITIVE CHANGES

What was the bride like before and after she met the groom?

Is she more confident?

More at peace?

How has he changed her life for the better?

3.) LOOKING FORWARD

Why are the bride and groom a good fit?

Why do you think the world will be a better place because of their marriage?

4.) IMPART WISDOM

Lastly, offer your best marriage advice for the newlyweds.
