If this is the first time ever you are about to make a wedding speech at a wedding, you might find it a bit challenging especially when you are unsure of your public speaking skills. But you must not procrastinate and keep from preparing for the speech for the speech because not doing so is going to make your problem graver.
Write the speech, spend some time and become familiar with it and you will be pleasantly surprised to see you progressing. I know several best men and bridesmaids and bride's fathers who kept away from writing the speech simply because they were so afraid of making a speech in public they were even reluctant to give it a try which starts with getting the speech written. What they didn't realize is they would need to make the speech no matter what and when it comes to making wedding speeches, if you fail to get ready for it you are actually getting ready to fail.
So, it's better to get started and this article will hopefully give you some inspiration.
Depending on how you're related to the couple you would need to give your speech. Traditionally the best man (who is usually a friend or the brother of the groom), the maid of honor (the sister or a friend of the bride), the father of the bride gives their respective wedding speeches at the reception. Apart from that, the groom himself and sometimes the bride would also want to make speeches.
If you happen to be the best man, you would probably want your best man speech to be funny. But don't make the task difficult worrying too much about it. You need to write a bare bone speech at the first place. Later you could work to make it humorous by including some funny anecdotes and the likes.
Same thing is true about maid of honor toasts. Get your speech written at the earliest. It will give you more time to work with it. Once you become accustomed to your speech it would become easier to tweak and make it amusing.
On the other hand, father of the bride speech tends to be emotional. But that's exactly why you need to have enough humor in it to make it light-hearted. Remember a speech that reveals the sense of humor of the speaker is bound to be successful.
If you find it difficult to breed ideas for your speech, there are several online resources to guide you through the process. For example, if you happen to be a best man you could start by checking BestManspeechEssentials.com.
Finally remember that worrying about your speech and going through how-to guides and sample speeches doesn't going to help you unless and until you take action. So, why not get started right away? I am sure you'll be able to pull of a great wedding speech.
