M.P.
i've been maid of honor/matron of honor a few times now and a few ideas are: have each of the bridesmaids take part in the speech: 1) Create an overall theme- (maybe each says a funny story of how they met, or what fruit they would describe the bride as and why..something funny)..or 2) you can have the bride and groom sit on chairs in the center of the dancefloor, BACK TO BACK so they can't see each other, and each of them take of 1 shoe off an hold it in their hand....then you ask both of them a series of questions, random questions, (like who is a better cook?, who's the better kisser, who's idea was it to ...) and if they think it's them, then they raise their shoe...its funny for the audience to see who answers what and in the end you can wrap it up with a simple poem or speech.
