Father Of the Bride<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTradition dictates that the father of the bride gives the first speech, his role is generally the most formal, although there is always room for a little humor in any wedding speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.poptop.uk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/How_To_Make_A_Wedding_Toast_Hero.jpg?resize=770%2C514&ssl=1\")

- Toasting to those that couldn\u2019t make the wedding and reminding everyone who they are. Just because someone couldn\u2019t make your wedding doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not important.<\/li>
- This speech should welcome the groom into the family.<\/li>
- Take responsibility for telling the bride how radiant they look on their wedding day. A few anecdotes about the bride are also good, as is a heartfelt expression of love.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
This is the part of the speech that will move the wedding guests to tears, confirming the speech has been delivered perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The father of the bride usually finishes with a few words about why the bride and groom are so well matched and then starts the wedding toasts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- Acknowledge the wedding guests, particularly their wedding gifts. It\u2019s not a good idea to single any specific wedding gifts out.<\/li>
- Offer thanks to both sets of parents for their involvement in the wedding and upbringing of both the groom and the bride. <\/li>
- A good groom will also take this opportunity to share with their wedding guests just how much their new wife means to them. Giving her a compliment on her wedding day is a great idea!<\/li>
- Presents. An important part of the wedding speech order is passing out presents to the bridesmaids and other key members of the wedding party. It doesn\u2019t hurt to give a few compliments.<\/li>
- The groom should end with a toast to the bride\u2019s parents, thanking them for hosting the wedding day celebrations. Of course, if the wedding has been funded by both sets of parents the thanks and acknowledgment needs to go to both!<\/li>

djblackdigital.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe best man\u2019s speech can be the most nerve-racking, especially for the best man; this is because they are expected to deliver some humor, which can be difficult when you don\u2019t know all of the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his speech the best man will:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n- Thank the bridesmaids again, echoing the groom but perhaps adding his own take on the presence of the bridesmaids at the wedding. It\u2019s a good opportunity t break the ice with a joke.<\/li>
- Give his compliments to the bride and groom. Traditionally the bride doesn\u2019t get a roasting although she may get some humorous sympathy for having chosen to marry the groom.<\/li>
- Share unknown stories about the groom. This can be the hardest part of the speech as the best man will want to share the groom\u2019s exploits but it must be done in a way that is fun and doesn\u2019t offend.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It can be a difficult balance to get, especially if the wedding party covers a wide age range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The best man also gets to read out the wedding messages from guests who couldn\u2019t make it. If there are a large number of people who couldn\u2019t make the wedding you may want to consider reading just a selection of them or simply listing the wedding guests names.<\/li>
- To the best man\u2019s relief, they can finish their wedding speech with a final toast to the bride and groom. At this point, they have hopefully had all the wedding guests laughing and their job is done.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

This can join the groom\u2019s speech in the wedding speech order, or the bride can choose to give a separate speech, thanking the wedding guests, her parents, and the bridesmaids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bride can even tell her own wedding anecdote about the groom if they wish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to do an individual wedding speech it is customary to add this speech into the wedding speech order just after the groom. It makes it easier for the bride to make fun of the groom without repercussions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maid Of Honor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn some cases, the maid of honour at your wedding also feels the need to give a small speech.
