Wedding Speech Tips

Hi there. My name is Alex Smith, and I welcome you to my blog that contains wedding speech tips.

It wasn’t that long ago that my best friend Jason asked me to be the best man at his wedding. I was thrilled that he entrusted me with such a big honor.

Jason and I have been best buddies since grade school and I wanted to make his wedding experience something to remember. My main focus was on putting together a bachelor party he wouldn’t forget.

Once the bachelor party was over, it started to dawn on me that I was going to have to give a toast at the reception. I had never before given a speech in public and I slowly started to feel a fear come over me.  Not only did I have a speech to prepare, but I was hoping my “masterpiece” would at least come off as a funny wedding toast.

I wasn’t sure where to begin and time was sneaking up on me rapidly. It didn’t help that all of my buddies were taking a lot of enjoyment out of my dilemma.

I turned my attention to the internet in the hopes of getting some good info. After quite a bit of searching, I stumbled upon a website that gave a guide on writing a wedding toast with a ton of different example speeches.

The guide sold for less than $20, which seemed reasonable enough. It also came with an 8 week money back guarantee so I figured I had nothing to lose by checking it out.

Boy am I glad I did.

I paid for the guide with my credit card and as soon as my payment was processed, I was able to download it to my computer immediately. Talk about convenient!

Within minutes of paying I was breezing through the guide and it was like a light bulb went on inside my head. The guide gave me the perfect process to follow and suddenly I had a swarm of ideas down on paper.

In a slight form of plagiarism (or borrowing as I prefer to call it), I copied from the examples in the book and blended them in with some personal stories.  Before I knew it I whipped together a speech to be proud of.

I followed a few of the best practices that were outlined in the guide and by the day of the wedding I was pumped to do my thing. My fear of speaking in public was gone because I knew I’d done all the prep work to give a kick butt speech.

Needless to say, my toast was a hit. It was a great feeling having strangers come up to me throughout the reception and tell me how much they appreciated my speech. What a great thing for the ego.

I’ve since given a few more speeches and toasts and I’ve used the same principals outlined in the guide to prepare them. Once you know the steps to follow, it really is easy.

Regardless of what role you take in a wedding, the authors have written guides specifically tailored for you.  Each guide is packed with 20+ professionally written example speeches and toasts to get you on your way:

  • Best Man Speeches
  • Maid of Honor Speeches
  • Groom Speeches
  • Bride Speeches
  • Father of the Bride Speeches
  • Mother of the Bride Speeches

I used the Best Man Speeches guide to help me prepare and I can’t recommend it enough. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did.

Best of luck,
