Wedding Speech

Like all other aspects of your wedding, you don't have to be influenced by tradition when it comes to the wedding speech.

This can be as formal or informal as you like and it is your choice to decide whether you want a long or a short wedding speech.

Be certain that you do know what people are going to say if they are giving a speech as there is nothing more embarrassing that to have someone reveal some information that you don't want to be made public on your wedding day.

Often people don't realize that they shouldn't mention particular events so it is always wise to discuss the contents of any speech before the day of the event.

The people who are giving the speeches also need to be aware that there might be people from various different generations at the wedding reception and what might be acceptable for the younger generation might not go down as well with the older generation.

If you are preparing a speech for yourself it is wise to take a copy of it to the wedding so you do not forget anything or forget to thank people for the work that they have done or the support they have given you.

You should write your speech as though you are talking to friends. This will be a lot more natural and you will be less likely to make mistakes or forget what you are saying.

Read it aloud to your partner before the wedding day and see what comments might help you to improve it. It is only when you read it aloud that you will realize if it is a suitable speech or not as we often write in a different manner than we speak.

Start preparing your speech early on in the planning stage as you will probably want to make changes along the way as you get closer to the wedding day. Having a copy of the wedding speech will also help reduce the chances of nervousness because you can always refer to the notes. Be sure to always talk (or read) slowly to give yourself time to breathe and it will also help people to hear what you are saying.
