Ok, so you know you need to include everyone and make them feel important. Forgetting to thank someone is one thing – but saying the wrong thing altogether in Groom Speeches could be a complete disaster!

Think ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ or the most painful (and embarassingly funny) movie you have ever seen with a wedding scene and you definitely don’t want to be in that lead role:)

I really wanted to make sure I didn’t make any big mistakes, so I researched a number of great tips to help you avoid this any embarrassing situations!!! So what not to say in Groom Speeches?

A big no no is talking about your previous relationships. It might seem obvious, but there are believe me Groom’s that do it…..and live to regret it! You may just want to compare your wife favourably, but believe you me, if she’s anything like mine she will not appreciate it – especially on the most important day of her life! So just take this as sound advice!

You should also be very careful of of the words you use when you speak about your bride. You may think it is a good idea to include a slightly teasing joke but this is not the right situation for it. Just stick to saying what your bride would want you to say……. maybe a little safem but it works!

Avoid Alcohol at all Cost!!!

Ok, so you have prepared your wonderful speech (even better than mine hopefully!) but your number one worst enemy is alcohol. This has the potential to bring just about anyone down, making them say the wrong thing or the right thing the wrong way! I was really wary of this and decided to hold off having anything to drink until the speech was over. And I am glad I did!

A Few Other Tips

The best Groom Speeches are planned well in advance. They can then be developed and edited until they are spot-on. Without planning you have much less control of what you say. Luckily there are now plenty of sources of help online. I used one myself and I have included links for it to help you too.

Final point. It may be a great speech, it may include everything, but no matter how well you say things, going on for too long isn’t going to go down too well. Try to work on your speech so it doesn’t take an hour to deliver!

If you need some more help, I found a great resource online that can really help you to come up with a great speech. See below:

Groom Speeches – You Must Include These Points!
by Neil Johnson

Initially, when I was thinking what I should say in my speech, I came up with some really mad ideas! Luckily, I didn’t just go with my initial thoughts, as that would have been a huge mistake. I needed quite a lot of help to begin with, to really understand Groom Speeches and what needs to be included to create a successful.

The best Groom speeches always seem to make sure that they don’t leave anyone out, from the youngest guest to the oldest. Making people feel important is a winning tip. It took me a long time to realise this, but basically it’s about keeping everyone happy to ensure your Wedding Day goes perfectly!

Who do you say thank you too? When writing your speech, it is advisable to thank all the key people who have had a big impact on your life. This could include your Best Man, friends, colleagues, teachers and your beautiful Bride of course! Also, say a few choice words about the Father of the Bride, as he will no doubt have a few things to say about you as well. You should make a place in the speech to thank him personally before continuing with the rest of it.

A great idea is to tell the story about how you met your beautiful Bride. The best Groom Speeches always seem to include this and it’s a great ‘crowd-pleaser’ for all of those who have made such an effort to travel to be with you on your Special Day. Next, I would try to add in anecdotes and appreciation for your family. It is an important occasion, not just for you, but for your family too, as it marks a new beginning in their lives as well. It is probably your best chance to show the special people in your life what they really mean to you and how they still play an important part in your life.

Remember, the Wedding Day symbolises the love and commitment to your bride, but it is also about family and the love for them and friends around you. To be honest, I was really nervous about the wedding speech, but it didn’t take me long to realise that the best Groom Speeches always include these element, because they have been proven to work! You can please everybody if you’re careful!

Before I even touch on Groom Speeches let me say this…..

The decision to get married is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make in your life…..but then comes all that preparation to make the wedding day perfect for you, your fiance, family and all of the guest…….and that takes planning!!!

At the end of the day, it is the attention to detail that makes that wedding day a success. The venue, the setting, the service, the reception, the food….and the drink and entertaiment……:) It is worth breaking the day down into the various stages and making sure that meticulous detail is paid to each part…..when each stage goes smoothly you have the makings of your perfect day……

And part of that preparation is during the reception when the various parties make their speeches. The Best Man, the Father of the Bride, the Groom and the Bride…..to name the main ones. So what makes a successful speech?

Well the best Groom Speeches do have certain qualities which should be included to make them a success.

However, firstly let me give you some advice from my own experiences.

I always knew that when my fiancé and I decided to get married I would have to write a groom wedding speech, but I never knew how important that speech was going to be! The truth is that I left it for weeks and weeks before I even realised that I was going to have to get down to it and actually write the thing.

My advice about that? Don’t make the same mistake I did. Plan ahead if you can!

When you first start thinking about your groom speech it can seem like a really challenging task. After all, there is already so much going into standing up in front of everyone and saying those vows, standing up again and making a speech is pretty nerve-wracking!

As the date got closer and closer I tried to think of an inspirational, yet charming and hilarious groom’s wedding speech and it just wasn’t coming to me. So what I eventually decided to do was to sit down and just write some of the thoughts that popped into my head.

Now, believe me when I say that there are more efficient ways to plan a groom wedding toast, but this was great for kick starting my ideas.

At first it was difficult, but when I started using speech prompts and guides I soon started to jot down little bits of information about me and my bride. Where we met, how long we’ve been together, some of our most memorable moments – things like that. It really helped me to put into words the story of our relationship and what we’ve been through to get where we are now.

At this stage I think it’s best not to worry about the order or the content of what you’re writing (or any wedding speech jokes!) The biggest block to getting the perfect wedding speech is never actually starting to write it! So by jotting down my thoughts I was already over the first major hurdle for my groom wedding speech.
