Tips for the perfect speech for the groomWedding planningPerhaps one of the biggest parts of the big day that most grooms dread is giving the speech at the wedding reception, very few people enjoy making speeches especially on such an important and nerve wracking day as your wedding day. However with a little preparation beforehand the task can be less daunting than you think, the speeches are a traditional part of the wedding and usually follow the meal, the brides father being the first, followed by the groom then the best man. Listed below are some points you shouldn't forget when making your speech: An overview of the speech * Thank the father of the bride for making his toast. * Thank the guests for attending the wedding and for giving gifts. * Thank both sets of parents in turn. * Give compliments to your bride. * Thank your best man for his efforts. * Thank and give a toast to the bridesmaids. Being prepared When you think about your speech try not to panic, speaking in public can seem like a worse nightmare come true for some while others speaking publicly comes naturally. A little planning and practicing beforehand can go a long way to helping you overcome those nerves and more often than not you will get through it with flying colours. A good point to remember is that when you are making your speech you are among family and friends who will be eagerly waiting to hear your words no matter how you say them or what you say. In fact many guests will consider being cheated if a speech isn't fumbled at a wedding and a little laugh got out of it, there aren't many speeches made at weddings that don't go slightly awry. If you do fumble you definitely aren't the first and will by no means be the last, your efforts will be applauded whatever happens. The simplest speeches are often the best and it's a time when you should take the opportunity to express your feelings to your family and friends. Points to remember during your speech * Remember to make your speech relevant to all those attending the wedding, don't just speak to your side of the family or you and your brides friends. * Remember to keep your speech brief around 5 minutes is a good time. * Remember that when you are writing your speech you are reading it aloud, for example writing cannot when you would say aloud can't. * Remember to speak in a clear loud voice if not using a microphone so that those at the back of the room can hear you. Content you could include in your speech * Thank the father of the bride, you could add that you hope to live up to expectations. * Thank the guests mentioning in particular any that have travelled a long distance to attend. * Thank your parents for the love and support they have given you over the years. * Compliment and praise your bride. * Thank your best man and the bridesmaids.
