A Guide to the Groom’s Speech
Imagine sitting on the head table. Your face is aching from smiling for all the photos, and your belly is full of delicious food. You see the MC enter the room to announce the speeches and that’s it, you’re up!
The difference between being terrified about your speech, or being quietly confident will be the following tips!
Do the Research! Be Prepared!
Websites and books are a fantastic resource for nervous speech givers. Most groom’s speeches follow a typical pattern (the thank you’s, what a beautiful wife you have) so that there is an enormous amount of help on the internet and in books.
I’ve picked out Making the Father of the Bride’s Speech to buy for my dad to help him with his speech writing.
And, I also have Confetti’s Wedding Speech book, which I think is really good.
I cannot recommend iamstaggered.com enough! The quirky, fun way of writing on Staggered is fantastic inspiration for anyone wanting to give a speech.
I really like Wedding Speech Builder but you can only access 2 tips per section before you need to pay to use the website.
And, of course, I have heaps of tips on writing your wedding speech!
