Major Ten Wedding Talk Etiquette Suggestions
For modern marriages there aren’t any firm rules as to who should talk at the reception. The following folk may speak at a marriage: Father or Mother of the bride, the best man, the bridesmaid in chief, a groom, the bride, parents-in-law, and bridesmaids. It is not odd for a couple of the groomsmen or two of the bridesmaids to talk at the same marriage.
Most people are intimidated at the very idea of public talking. Similarly, most people are doubtful of the proper wedding speech etiquette which compounds public talking anxiety.
This newsletter will highlight some helpful suggestions to prepare and deliver a superb speech.
The formal order of the speeches is:
1. Father of the bride
2. The groom
3. The best man
In present times, it is not atypical for the bride, chief bridesmaid or some guests to say some words.
The speech segment of the reception is generally held after the meals there is however no reason why the speeches can’t be before the meal.
For marriage speech etiquette follow these top 10 tips:
1. If you are the one being toasted never raise your glass or drink from your glass till the toast is finished and other guests have sipped their drink.
2. No jokes that have ethnic or racial connotations.
3. Avoid any profane language.
4. Do not make any reference to any past / future lovemaking between the couple – for instance – the honeymoon.
5. Don’t mention previous marriages.
6. Don’t gnaw gum; put your hands in your pocket or shuffle from side to side as you deliver the speech.
7. Don’t drink more than a glass or two of alcohol before the speech.
8. Avoid any “sore” subjects such as a recent death in the family.
9. Always stand when delivering the toast.
10. Don’t hit a glass with a spoon to gain attention. It is more mannered to stand and hold your glass and wait for silence.
If you follow the 10 tips above you will have no reason to be worried about following the correct marriage speech etiquette.
