Bride's speech template
PDF + editable Word doc · delivered instantly · 14-day refund, no questions
There is no traditional template for this speech, and that is the single best thing about it. Every other speaker today is working inside a shape the room already knows. The best man has to do the stag do. The father of the bride has to welcome everyone. You have no obligations at all, which means you have something none of them have: the room does not know what is coming.
That is a real advantage, and most brides waste it by writing a groom's speech with different names in it. A proportion of your guests will not have been expecting you to speak at all, so you get more attention in your first fifteen seconds than any other speaker will get all day. This guide is about how to spend it.
Most brides who speak open by apologising for it. I know this isn't traditional, but I just wanted to say a few words. That sentence hands the room permission to treat you as an interruption at your own wedding, and you don't quite get it back. This guide starts somewhere else: you have no obligations, no expected shape, and a room that genuinely does not know what is coming. That is an advantage none of the other speakers have.

Questions
How do I get it after I pay?
Instant download on the confirmation screen, plus emailed to you as a permanent link that never expires. No account needed to buy or to redownload later.
What formats do I get?
A 10-page PDF guide and an editable Word document, both included in the one purchase. The 6 printable cue cards are the last page of the PDF.
Can I actually edit it?
Yes. The Word document is a real editable template, not a locked PDF, so you can type directly into it, change the wording, or rework sections freely.
What if it's not right for me?
Email within 14 days and it's refunded, no questions asked. You keep the files either way.
Will it sound like a template?
Not if you use the question script. The structure is the same for every speech, but the material inside it is one true thing about the two of you, gathered by asking the people who were there, so what you end up saying is yours, not generic.
Where should my speech go in the running order?
The guide walks through all three options and what each one costs you. Straight after the groom is the warmest and the easiest to coordinate. First, before your father, makes the surprise do maximum work. Last, after the best man, is the highest risk, because warm after loud is a hard transition. Whichever you choose, tell the MC early: it is routinely the thing that gets missed.
Tell whoever is running the day which slot you have taken. The MC reception script guide has a place for exactly this, and it is the thing that gets missed.
