Wedding Speech Tips from DressesShop.com

SHENZHEN, CHINA, January 08, 2011

One of the most memorable aspects of any wedding reception can be a toast to the bride and groom. Although often given by the best man or the maid of honor, toasts also can come from fathers, mothers, siblings, and special guests of the bridal couple. There is no other time during the celebration that the gathering will come to complete silence and listen to one person speak. To make sure that your toast to the bride and groom is remembered as a charming moment, and not a wedding night disaster, here are a few dos and don'ts to preparing and delivering your wedding day toast.

1. DO remember your audience. You are at an event where people have gathered to celebrate with the bride and groom. Many people there won't know you, and are not interested in stories about you. They want to hear something nice about the newly married couple.

2. DON'T speak totally off the cuff. For many people delivering a toast, this may be their one and only time to deliver a few words in front of a large gathering. Nerves and emotion can be overwhelming. It's okay to write out your thoughts and read from paper. No one is expecting a Jay Leno monologue from you.

3. DO be positive. The wedding is a celebration. Smile, be cheerful, and express upbeat thoughts about the new husband and wife.

4. DON'T take all day. The person delivering the toast is just one facet of the ceremony and celebration of the couple's day. Don't overstay your welcome on the microphone.

5. DO wish the couple happiness in their marriage. A wedding is a union of two people "until death do us part." Wish them happiness and prosperity for their upcoming life together.

6. DON'T share potentially embarrassing stories. While it may seem funny to you, the bride ( and her father and grandmother!) do not want to hear how you and the groom partied all night with the Smith sisters when you were in college.

7. DO look at the bridal couple and the gathering while speaking. Look at the couple and all those gathered at some point of the toast to let them know you are sharing your statements with all in attendance.

A toast to the bride and groom can be an entertaining and fun moment during the wedding day. Prepare, relax, and sincerely express to all those at the reception your best wishes and thoughts for the charming couple married that day. Cheers!
