Description

Your making a wedding speech. But don’t worry; so long as you follow a few basic rules and a little planning it will not actually be as hard as you think ...

* Don’t stress over your wedding speech. It is actually easier than other forms of public speaking, as people will expect you to be nervous.

* If you don’t feel confident memorizing your speech, use prompt cards. Cards are better than paper because it is less obvious if your hands are shaking!

* Try not to read from the cards just note key points. Look up around the company and try to involve the whole room through your body language.

* Keep it brief!It’s better to leave them wanting more than dragging on and loosing there attention.Besides you wont need to think of as much to say.

* Try to keep the content of your speech neutral and high vibe, avoid being crude, rude or sarcastic.Particularly if there are older, or very much younger, guests at the wedding.

* Use a funny memory as your first line to get a laugh. This will relax you and get the attentions of the guests.

* Make sure that you don’t forget proper etiquette, and thank the right people for their help

* Don’t panic if the worst happens and you forget your words. Just speak from the heart. After all, you know how happy you feel!
