Wedding Speech Examples To Help You Prepare
By Natalie Glass
Most people would assume that once the vows are said,
the most frightening part is over. For those suffering
from glossophobia, it is just the beginning. Glossophobia
is a fear of public speaking.
Not everyone has to give a speech at the wedding but,
there are a few key members of the wedding party that
must address all of the family and friends, at the reception.
Test Out Your Wedding Speech With Friends
Wedding professionals advise practicing the speech
in advance and running it by a few close friends to
test it out. To help the glossophobic out, as well as
anyone who has to give a wedding speech, there are many
tips and ideas to review with wedding speech examples
on the Internet and in books.
If you find yourself in one of the key speaker positions,
try to make the speech a bit humorous. Wedding speech
examples could be poking gentle fun at the medieval
wedding invitation that you received in the mail. Anecdotes
and bits of the couple’s history are always a great
way to get the guests interested in the proceedings.
Try Not To Offend When Using Humor
When using humor, try to stay away from stories such
as "when the bride was in ninth grade she had a
bathroom accident" jokes. It may be funny outside
of a formal event but the grandmother and priest may
not find as much humor in them. Steer far away from
drunken debauchery stories from the bachelor party.
Wedding speech examples found on the Internet, could
cover a variety of topics that are appropriate. Tell
a touching story about how the bride and groom met.
There have to be dozens of memories of the friendships
bonded over the years between the maid of honor or the
best man. The guests expect to hear sentimental stories.
It is a wedding and tears are a part of the joyous day.
Recite A Love Poem, Lines From A Book Or Quotes
If you find yourself unable to find the best wedding
speech examples that fit your needs and you’ve asked
wedding professionals, turn to reciting a love poem
or a few lines from a book.
Quotes are great ways to add a touch of elegance to
the traditional speech. The couple will be moved by
you spending time and effort to make the speech memorable.
The wedding speech is a send off for the new couple
into a new life together. Your words will be remembered
by them and the rest of the family for years to come.
Make the day wonderful by giving a speech straight
from the heart.

Should I serve a full meal at the reception or just serve finger foods?
The general rule of thought is this: an afternoon wedding
requires only light snacks or finger foods. A wedding that takes place after
5 o'clock should serve something more substantial to eat as guests will be
feeling hungry that late into the evening after the ceremony is
over.
Do you have to follow these rules? Absolutely not,
but mention on your program or invitation what type
of reception will be following the ceremony. This allows
the guests, if you are only serving cake and punch,
to eat earlier in the day.
What are the rules regarding receptions?
There are no hard-fast rules when
it comes to receptions. The reception can be whatever you
want it to be. It can be a simple affair where the guests
are there just long enough to give their congratulations
to the couple or it can be a lavish party where there is
food, music and drinks.
