This Rule Works Well for Bridal Shower Talks!

 The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.- George Burns
When giving a bridal shower talk aim for 15 minutes. Anything more and you will start to lose your audience.  They came to honor the bride and have fun, so keep it short and to the point or have visuals and some way the guests can participate that holds their attention if you plan to be long winded.

If you have ever done any public speaking before, you are very familiar with the butterflies you get in your stomach due to nervousness.  There are a few things you can do to help quell the butterflies.

  • If you feel comfortable, try practicing in front of a mirror or record yourself.
  • Don't wait until the last minute to prepare.
Use stress relieving supplements or homeopathy
