02 Dec 2009
When it comes to pleasing people, forgetting to thank someone is one thing – but saying the wrong thing altogether in groom toasts could be a complete disaster! However, luckily I have a few tips and pointers for you. Click here to learn more: Groom Toast.
Toasts to the bride
The worst thing you could do during your groom toasts is to start talking about your ex-girlfriend. It might seem obvious, but believe me there are grooms that do it! Even if it’s to point out how wonderful your new love is compared to the old one, it’s a no, no – especially on the most important day of her life!
You should also speak favourably of the bride at all times. Try to avoid teasing jokes, this is not the right time for it. In my speech I stuck to what I knew my bride would want me to say, and it worked!
Steer Clear Of Alcohol
No matter how well you might have prepared your speech (probably better than I did!) your number one worst enemy could be alcohol. Yes, we have all got drunk at some stage, so you should know exactly how verbally vunerable we are. Take my advice and steer clear of all alcohol until after your groom toasts!
A Few Other Tips
If you want to be in control then my advice would be plan ahead. And not planning ahead means being in a lot less control of what you say. Luckily there are now plenty of sources of help online for those who want even a funny wedding speech that doesn’t offend anyone.
Finally, it needs to be said that talking too quietly or rambling on for too long, won’t go down too well. Practise your groom speach so you know it wont take a couple of hours to deliver! This will also boost your confidence! Click here if you would like to learn how to write a great groom speech: Groom Speech Tips.
