Speeches, Toasts and Festivites
Speeches, toasts are important focal points to the wedding. The secret to giving a good wedding toast and speech is to keep it short, and said with sincerity. You may also like include a light hearted joke or anecdote. It is best to keep it short say about five minutes. The average speaking rate is about 180 words a minute, that’s about 1000 words for a five minute speech.
Write down the words and practice reading the words out aloud. A good speech/toast does not come together on the night it needs to be well thought of and rehearsed. Write the speech/toast in the way that you normal talk. Everyone likes to hear a little about how the bride and groom met, have a little laugh at an amusing moment and then raise their glass in a toast to them. The people who have helped in the wedding would like to be thanked and that is what the speeches are all about - thanking those that helped, wishing the bride and groom well.
