Wedding Toasts and Speeches - How to Write One

Writing speeches may not be fun. Admit it - It's not something that most of us do on a daily basis, so when the time comes for us to write one, we freeze up and don't know where to go with it. Could it be the fact that you might be reading this speech or announcing this toast in front of a large crowd? You want everything to come off great, right? A great speech or toast will make a memory that everyone can go home with.

So, how exactly do you get started with writing something like this? First off, identify who the speech/toast is about and what role you play in the wedding. Once you do that, just take a sheet of paper (or pull up a word processing program on your PC) and start jotting down some ideas about the couple (or person) you will be centering your speech around. Don't worry if your thoughts are jumbled at the moment - Just write whatever comes to mind.

Upon completing that, you want to organize your main ideas into an easy to read outline. From there, you'll know what points you need to emphasize on (which is where you can add more content) and what things you might just want to mention briefly. This one of the biggest keys to your speech.

Now, if you are short on time, you should try using a pre-written speech and just modify it to your liking. This saves a boatload of time, and also makes your speech come of great! You'll sound much smarter and people will be moved by your words.
