Since you announced your engagement I bet you're getting bombarded with all kinds of well-meaning ... and not-so-well-meaning ... advice about wedding etiquette from friends, family, colleagues and plenty of other people too!

And then there are all those tips about what you can and can't have ... what would and wouldn't be "proper" for your wedding ... just because you're pregnant!

Well - here's the pregnant bride etiquette scoop for the 21st century!

It doesn't make a jot of difference whether...

• you are planning a very traditional wedding or prefer a non-traditional ceremony, or


• you want a big wedding or a small intimate celebration is more your style, or


• you want a religious or civil ceremony, or


• you want a traditional white wedding dress or something completely different

The only thing you need to change for a maternity wedding is the shape your dress ... and that's only to accommodate your fabulous baby bump!

Always remember that your maternity wedding is a double celebration. Surround yourself on your maternity wedding day with guests who want to share your joy and exclude anyone who can't get over their out-of-date prejudices to celebrate wholeheartedly with you.

With all of the planning that goes into a wedding, it is easy to forget to prepare your bride's wedding day speech. This is a fairly new tradition so it is not easy to know exactly how to deliver this speech. This article is going to give you some ideas for writing the perfect bride's speech.

1. The first thing you should do is to thank your guests for joining you and your groom on this special day.

2. Next you should include a very special thank you to your parents. Try to add a few special memories from childhood such as your favorite vacation or most memorable birthday party.

3. You could include some humor by telling a funny story about your childhood in relation to your parents. This is a good ice breaker.

4. Thanks your new husband's parents for everything they have done for you by bringing their son into the word and welcoming you.

5. You can also share a story about how you met your husband and how much he means to you.

6. The last thing you may want to do is thank anyone who made an extra special contribution to your wedding. This could include the person who performed the ceremony, the person who helped you with all of the pre wedding planning and your family members who contributed special talents.
