Some Wedding Speech Resources
Posted on Oct 25, 2009 under wedding speeches | No CommentToday I wanted to point out a couple of places where you can get some good information on giving wedding speeches.
The first, and my most highly recommended resource, is the series of books available from Wedding Speech 4 U. They are electronic, downloadable books, each about 100 pages in length, that are the best resource for understanding, assembling and presenting a wedding speech I have found. They explain in very simple terms what the purpose of a wedding speech is and how to best accomplish it the quickest and easiest way.
If you are in a hurry you can just quickly adapt any one of the pre-prepared speeches written to cover any situation. If you have more time the books will lead you through an enjoyable process of assembling and giving the speech.
I have found two blogs, each by people who recently gave wedding speeches, that offer some very well considered thoughts about how they assembled their speeches. The first blog is about bride speeches. It was assembled by a young woman who was a recent bride. She talks about the common problem of stage fright and a number of other things that went into her bride’s speech.
The other blog is by a young woman who was a maid of honor. Her blog is filled with maid of honor speeches tips. She clearly understands the purpose of wedding speeches is the honor the wedding couple and their families and friends and to thank everyone involved.
If you are interested in wedding speeches I think you will enjoy any of these resources.
I've been a wedding photographer and planner for many years. The one thing I've always noticed is how often people struggle to come up with great wedding speeches. This site is my attempt to give people the resources and help they need to be able to give a great, memorable speech.
