So you dont know what to say for your big wedding speech? Well, if you're a member of the wedding party, you may be expected to make a speech at the big occasion. This is a big chance to make a good impression on everyone at the wedding reception if you can deliver a well prepared, professional and personalized speech.

Who is expected to make a Wedding speech? Wedding speeches can be delivered by a bridesmaid, the father of the bride, or a maid of honour. A good wedding speech should communicate all the emotions, well wishes, personalized gestures and humour that the occasion merits. A short toast may be delivered in the form of a short poem or a full wedding speech may last anything from five to ten minutes. This is a great chance for close friends and family to make a statement that will have a great and memorable impact.

Overcoming nerves may be a factor for some people at such a big occasion. It is important to practise the speech before the occasion although it is not necessary to memorize it word for word. Simply making some bullet points on some cards should be enough to guide you through the speech with fluency. The more you practise the speech the more you will become confident about what you are saying and will help you to deliver a powerful speech on the day. If someone is too anxious to make a speech on the day it is often best to just leave them out if they don't feel up to the task.

The order of wedding speeches. Traditionally the speeches begin with the bride's father. This is followed by the groom's father, then the groom and finally the best man will deliver his speech. Sometimes it is common for the best man or even the groomsmen to read messages or telegrams. On some occasions other invited guests may also make a speech.

In modern times traditional approaches are not always followed and in some cases, speeches are made by both parents of the bride and groom, often the father of the bride, then the mother of the bride followed by the father of the groom and then the mother of the groom.

Writing the wedding speech. If you don't know where to start it may be an idea to write down some notes about the fun times you have enjoyed with the bride or groom. A light hearted story can be a good way to make everyone relax and laugh. If you are short on material, simply speaking to other family members can be a good way to help you remember memories from the past of fun times gone by. It is important that the speech is considerate as well as funny and entertaining as the last thing you will want to do is upset one of the guests. People often appreciate a wedding speech from the heart with honesty and sincerity.
