I think you answered your own question. Start it off with how strong she is, how you look up to her, how she has been like a mother to you, how much you love her and end it with "you wish her the best in her new married life". Speak from your heart, and don't worry - you will cry regardless! :)

I live in New York and from what I've read on YA, our bridal showers differ a little bit from those in the rest of the country...that being said, a bridal shower here would follow these guidlines: a. The colors of the wedding DO NOT have to be incorporated, as a matter of fact, you can do a theme if you'd like... We're doing a cooking theme for my sister b. The attire will be dictated by where you're having the shower. 90% of the showers here are at very nice restaurants in a separate party room...therefore, you would wear something fairly dressy: nice pants and a blouse or a sundress c. There's no music necessary at the shower...the room tends to get very loud with the women talking as it is... d. Food, it again, depends on where you're having it. When we have them at restaurants, we either do brunch or lunch...and it's served buffet style. I'd imagine though, if you were to have it at your home, you could simply do finger foods, or heros and salads e. There are TONS of fun games (google: bridal shower games) the ones that we're doing: Toilet paper bridal gown, each table gets x amount of toilet paper, they pick a bride and make her a gown out of it. The bride-to-be picks a winner and they get a prize! (Prizes for the kitchen shower are going to be cookbooks and cooking utensils...but you can also go to Bath and Body Works and put together nice bags of shower gels, etc.) We're also doing "What was she wearing?" after the bride says hello to everyone, she leaves the room, then we hand out a sheet of paper asking what she was wearing... the person that can remember the most about the bride wins a prize. Finally, we're doing Bridal Bingo, as the bride opens her gifts, the guests cross off an item on their bingo card... whoever gets bingo, again, gets a prize F. You don't need to include anything about the military in the shower... and you also do not need to make any kind of a speech. G. There is NO POLITE way to ask for money. Have the bride and groom NOT register, people will most likely give them money. However, if there are some things that they do need (new sheets/towels/dishes, etc) I would get them to register. Also, as people RSVP and ask what to buy you can mention that they made a small registry of just the things they need because they cannot pack very much when they move H. There doesn't have to be a theme, unless you want there to be one! I think I answered all of your questions, but people are probably going to give me the thumbs-down. This is how a shower is done in the Northeast, but like I said, showers in the Southern US are (from what I hear) totally different

Amongst our family and friends, showers are usually held in someone's home - usually MOB or MOG. Family helps in providing food - usually appies and dainties, veg platter and dip, fruit platter, a cake if you want. There don't need to be lots of decorations, just some. It's nice if they are the same colours as the wedding, because then they can be reused for the reception somewhere. Ladies know how to dress for a shower, this doesn't have to be indicated. DO NOT make any requirements as to what gifts are acceptable on the invitation. That is just totally rude. Guests should be able to bring what they choose; it's the couples responsibility to ship them, or store them, or whatever. You don't need a theme. The wedding is the theme. Usually someone would make a toast to the bride - doesn't have to be a long speech, and the bride to be would usually give thank yous. Good luck. Don't stress out about planning it because it's just a fun time for the ladies to get together!

After reading your whole scenario it is clear that you want to show your love to your sister. There are a lot of ways to do this, but your idea of speech is just excellent as i believe that if you are good at expressing yourself then words always have a better impact. However, with regards to your question you should perform research on internet to find some good speeches, but if you are not able to locate some good resources, then i must recommend you to check http://weddingplanningfun.com . I actually hired them on my wedding to plan the events, but i know that they are even helping people to have best wedding speeches. Thanks!!

Here are a few sites that may help, but normally speeches are given at the wedding not the shower, so you may want to save it for the reception.
Good luck!
