Below are ten tips on how to deliver your speech at a wedding.
They are very simple, so if you are nervous about giving your speech just take five minutes to read through them. We hope they will help you…..
Good luck and don’t worry!
1) Memorise
Try and memorise your speech. The more you memorise the less you have to worry about losing the sheet of paper or constantly looking at it. If you can’t remember all of it, try splitting it into bullet points and memorise them instead. This will give you an outline of what to say and stop any confusion.
2) Practise, practise, practise
The more you practise your speech the more you will learn it. But not only this, it will help you polish it off, help you learn long words or help you remember when to smile or look at someone. Also it will help you fit in pauses and speak at the right volume.
3) Don’t drink too much
It may seem like a good plan, but if you’re well prepared your speech will go better if you are not drunk. The last thing you want is to forget your lines and slur your words!
4) Look and feel confident
The more confident you look, the more confident you will feel. The more confident you feel the less likely you are to forget what you wanted to say and the speech will go better.
5) Don’t go too fast
Don’t rush what you are saying. Take your time in delivering your speech. If you take your time people can understand what you are saying and it gives the impression of a confident person.
6) Don’t offend
Take care not to offend anyone. The last thing you want to be remembered for is the guy whose speech had someone running off in tears!
7) Enjoy the laughter
If you tell a joke, let people appreciate the punch line. Don’t rush ahead whilst they are still laughing, enjoy the moment.
8) Look at the audience
Don’t keep your head down looking at the sheet of paper with your notes on. Look at the audience, they won’t bite!
9) Remember, the audience is on your side
The audience is on the same side you are, they don’t want you to fail. They are there to enjoy the day just as much as you are. They are your friends and family.
10) Enjoy yourself
Relax, take your time and have fun. Don’t forget to smile, it’s a wedding not a funeral!

I do not see any father of the groom speeches which I was expecting and which I downloaded this for. I am not at all pleased with your effort which cost me almost £10.00. In fact I think your ad was misleading
I would be grateful if you remitted the entire cost to my account.
