Bridal shower speech?

My bridal shower is coming up. My mom, aunt, and bridesmaids are planning it. My mom decided she's inviting people who aren't invited to the wedding despite numerous attempts to get her to change her mind, we've all stopped bothering and let her roll with it. We're doing things a little differently (no gift opening, we have a DJ and there will be dancing). I'm a very blunt person, sometimes painfully so, and because of that, I NEED HELP with the speech that I'm supposed? to be giving. Do I even give a speech? I know I'll be thanking those who came, those who planned and all that, but what else do I say? Obviously, I'm sending individual thank you cards to all those present, but what do I say day of??

Brides don't give a speech at the shower. You just send thank you cards.
Unfortunately, it's extremely rude to invite someone to the shower and not the wedding. I know you've said you talked to your mom already, but I'd talk to her again, and explain to her that if she's going to break etiquette like that she should help you pay for those people to be invited to the wedding.

The only speech I made was "Hi Welcome thanks for coming here is the food" lol
And it is rude to invite people not invited to the wedding but that is on your mom

If mom persists in invited those who aren't invited to the wedding, the shower should be cancelled.

You don't have to make a speech, so don't stress too much about it! If you do want to say something I'd keep it really simple and just thank everyone for coming and say how much it means to you!
