Toast & Vows Nobody has known her longer than you have, except maybe your parents. A sister's speech can be the funniest and the most moving of the night, because you have the stories nobody else does.
Use the generator to turn your growing-up memories into a speech with a proper structure: a little sibling teasing, a sincere turn, a warm welcome for the new in-law and a toast. It works just as well for a sister of the groom.
How to structure a sister speech
- Introduce yourselfYour name, and which sister you are if there are several.
- A growing-up storyA childhood moment that still says something about her, like the bossy big sister, the fearless little one or the one who always shared.
- Who she is nowHow that kid grew into the person marrying today.
- Welcome the new sibling-in-lawWhat you have seen them bring out in her, and a warm welcome to the family.
- ToastInvite everyone to raise a glass to the couple.
Tips before you stand up
- Two to four minutes is perfect, especially if you're not the maid of honor.
- Sibling teasing is part of the fun, but end every joke on her side.
- If you're also the maid of honor, use the maid of honor page instead.
- One strong childhood story beats three quick ones.
- Ask your parents for a detail you've forgotten. It often becomes the best line.

Hi everyone, I'm Jess, Kate's little sister, which means I've spent my whole life hearing about how she did everything first. Today, I'm happy to say, she's done something I fully approve of.
Growing up, Kate and I shared a bedroom, a wardrobe and, for one unfortunate year, a haircut. Today I'm proud to share her with Tom.
My sister has always been the one who takes care of everyone. So it means a lot to me to see her with someone who takes care of her.
