Where do you start?<\/p>\n<p>Before you begin your wedding speech or toast preparation, write down some thoughts about the couple&#8217;s relationship, how they met, how you know them, their personalities, or general thoughts about marriage. Once you have some of these ideas down on paper you have a framework to work from.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Make Your Speech Personal<\/h3>\n<p>How do you know the bride and groom? How do you feel about them? Were you involved when the bride and groom met? Do you know details of the proposal? Do they have cute nicknames for each other? It makes sense for anybody giving a speech to make it personal. Guests are going to appreciate the love and connection that comes from doing that.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Add A Touch of Humor (but not too much)<\/h3>\n<p>We love wedding speeches with humor. It is great if you can add a few one-liners and make a joke or two. In saying that, the best speech balances funny with heartfelt. If it\u2019s too sentimental, you\u2019ll have guests falling asleep. If you&#8217;re doing a 10 minutes comedy routine, then you could offend people and you lost the meaning of the special occasion. It is about balance.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank Everyone Who Deserves a Thank You<\/h3>\n<p>Thank the relevant people and make sure you&#8217;re specific where you can be. This takes some preparation, make sure you ask around to see who helped out with the wedding. And don\u2019t forget the families of the bride and groom too, as well as members of the bridal party.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Write a Strong Speech Opener &amp; Closer<\/h3>\n<p>You need to get people&#8217;s attention immediately. That means having a strong opener and a strong closer. Use a short Irish wedding toast, a cute saying or a funny quote. The idea is to give your best wishes, sum up the spirit of marriage or to give a toast.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Ideal Speech Length<\/h3>\n<p>There are going to be a bunch of wedding speeches. Don&#8217;t bore people with a long speech. Save the long or potentially embarrassing stories for the bachelor or bachelorette party. Be brief and memorable.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Practice Your Speech Before The Big Day!<\/h3>\n<p>Practice and preparation makes perfect. Make eye contact and speak to all the guests. You can&#8217;t do that while looking down at a piece of paper or just going off the cuff. That means you need to prepare and have something written down and rehearsed. Practice, practice, practice. Stand in front of the mirror and rehearse till you are comfortable and confident. Practice until you look good, until you can watch yourself in the mirror &#8211; and ultimately look at the audience &#8211; while speaking.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">A Few Things Not To Include in Your Speech<\/h3>\n<p>The rules here are quite simple. First things first, it\u2019s never funny to make racist jokes or comments about any of the families\u2019 cultures or traditions. Leave out all profanities or jokes that are on the obscene or offensive lines.<\/p>\n<p>Poke fun at the groom but don\u2019t cross the line and hurt anyone\u2019s feelings. Leave out stories of drunken nights or exes. Steer away from any sexual innuendos as well. Use your common sense.<\/p>\n<p>You want to walk away with the bride and groom feeling good, not humiliated.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Groom\u2019s Speech<\/h2>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33966\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips.png\" alt=\"Grooms Speech Tips\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-500x282.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-672x378.png 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-33966\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips.png\" alt=\"Grooms Speech Tips\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-500x282.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Grooms-Speech-Tips-672x378.png 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/noscript><\/h2>\n<p>The groom\u2019s wedding speech is a big deal.

You had the Father of the Bride and the Best Man. Each would get up, give a quick toast and it was over. These days, we have lots of wedding speeches. Just about every person at the wedding gives a speech, so having some kind of order of wedding speeches not only makes sense, but has some wedding etiquette to it too.<\/p>\n<p>The wedding speech order can vary and nothing is set in stone, but as a couple you must remember that the key goal of this part of the wedding is to ensure guests are enjoy themselves and that everybody gets to hear what is said. Broadly, that means speeches happen towards the end of the meal.<\/p>\n<p>If you take the standard order of wedding speeches, the Best Man will give his speech or toast first. He will toast the bride and groom and is, generally, the MC for the night. After the Best Man speech the groom will respond, toast his new bride, and thank the parents and so on. The Father of the Bride gives his speech last.<\/p>\n<p>We mentioned early on that lots of people give speeches, so in the spirit of being thorough, here is the definitive long-list of wedding speeches order that you should keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Best Man give his speech<\/li>\n<li>Maid (or Matron) of Honor gives her speech<\/li>\n<li>Father of the Bride gives his speech<\/li>\n<li>Parents of the Groom give their speech<\/li>\n<li>Groom gives his speech<\/li>\n<li>Bride gives her speech<\/li>\n<li>Any other Guests of Honor give their speeches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-33960 aligncenter\"
