Bride Wedding Speech – Essential Do’s and Don’ts

bride wedding speechWhen I got up to give my bride wedding speech, I was really grateful that my gown was so long because nobody could see my knees trembling! I did manage to get through it though and if you’re a bride who is worried about standing up in front of everyone you care about, I’m sure you will too! The truth of the matter is a wedding speech is much easier to create than you might think. If you are about to write yours, here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind.

Don’t make the speech inappropriate for anyone in the audience. If you have your eighty year old grandfather in attendance, you will need to make sure your speech is clean enough for him to hear. Similarly, make sure that you avoid jokes that only a small percentage of the audience will understand, this can make people feel very left out.

Also make sure that you do not let the speech go on too long. Remember that a short speech is usually much more popular, so make sure that you keep things brief. If you are nervous, it will make things a lot less scary. A bridal speech should last anything from two to seven minutes, any longer than that and you might see some people starting to look a little bit dazed.

With that out of the way, let’s start with some definite do’s! First, do start off with some humor. If you can get everyone laughing along with you, you’re half way there. Take some time to think about some funny stories which brought you and your new husband together.

Another thing that you should definitely do is thank everyone who helped you with the wedding. With everyone in attendance it’s very easy to thank them all quickly.

When you are looking at the do’s for your wedding speech, why not think about memorizing it? A memorized speech will be a lot more effective than one that you have written down and it’s not as hard to do as you might think. This will allow you to deliver your speech whilst making eye contact with your family and friends. It will have a much greater impact.

It’s very important to map out your bride wedding speech way in advance of the big day. It’s one of those rare occasions when you can address a lot of the people you care about in one go, so make sure that you represent yourself well. Although it’s much easier to write than you probably think, you should still take your time to prepare it properly.
