A wedding anniversary speech can touch the hearts of all guests
A wedding anniversary speech is one of the sweetest highlights
of any party or reception, especially now that your wedding anniversary
speech will most likely live on in video and on DVD. To really maximize
your speech, make an outline before you even begin the speech writing.
What exactly do you want to say in your anniversary speech? Do you
want to thank the honorees? Remember a funny story about them? This
will help you begin your anniversary toast.
The wedding speech, like the father of the bride speech at a wedding,
is a way to bring a poignant yet comical element into a big party.
While many people may take the opportunity to make a speech, don’t
you want them to flip through the photo album later and mention
what a beautiful anniversary speech you gave? Of course you do!
Let’s take this chance o review a good guideline or two for any
speech.
In your wedding speech, try not to get too private. You want things
to be personal for the couple without making your anniversary speech
sound like one big inside joke – the father of the bride speech
at a wedding is a forum for personal things, not the anniversary
speech. That just alienates other people and keeps them from really
getting your speech. Instead, try mentioning things at least a few
other people would know about in your toasts then, if you really
want to, mention that one inside joke. This will get the crowd laughing
and nodding while you can still use your anniversary toast as a
way of speaking to the couple directly.
