Here are some ideas from bridesmaid101 online

Traditionally, the speech would be given during the wedding party in the first half (before people begin to leave) and would focus on the bride. Bridesmaid 101 recommends making a wedding toast that includes various emotions. The best toasts include funny stories growing up with sentimental friendship and love. Some Maids of Honor like to be spontaneous and not rehearse anything prior to making the toast while others (the majority) usually bring notes or a prepared speech.

Bridesmaid 101`s words of advice are if you are a person who does not like to speak in front of others when making a speech, make sure to rehearse and bring a hard copy wedding speech.

Stories of what the bride used to share with you about the groom when she first met him.

Funny story while growing up

How you and the bride met and how long you both have known each other

Most "appropriately" embarrassing moment you shared with the bride- look for sweet embarrasment- not gross or vulgar, if you are not sure, skip it.

How beautiful the bride and groom look together

Talk about a funny habit of the bride that the groom will have to live with :)

A spiritual statement (if the bride and groom are spiritual people)

Words of advice to both the bride and groom

Wishes you have for the newlyweds (e.g., success, happiness, many babies)
-------------------

Or if you want it to be perfect- theperfecttoast will write it for you for $135. That`s a little over the top- but so`s this whole business. Having some grammar expert read over your toast and make suggestions is probably a good alternative.

Happy Toasting!
