Wedding toasts- speeches to be rehearsed? Or improvised?
How long or short? How personal?
If you are one of the special few who is making a speech at a wedding ceremony, there are many tips to remember in order to make it appropriate and memorable.
Theknot.com offers excellent guidelines on what to include and how to prepare to make a perfect toast.
Keep in mind the variation of the audience members, especially if including a special memory of the bride and groom. Avoid using any material that may be damaging to anyone's image. Remember that for some individuals this will be a first impression of the bride or groom.
Be sure to rehearse your speech, and jot down your key points.
Remember that, generally speaking, you are what stands between the guests and their dinner -- keep it short and sweet!
Most importantly, speak from the heart.
