An advantage of preparing the speech in advance is that you can make sure to include all those people you want to be mentioned without improvising and wasting words. A line for everyone, and you can include 100 people in your speech! Easy isn’t it? It will also give you time to remember long lost friends and companions who you had forgotten had helped you at some point of your life. And what better occasion to remember them than in your wedding day!

Try to keep the speech as sincere and honest as you can. But again not too honest or your words would hurt other people’s emotions. Try and maintain eye contact with guests while you speak. If you are phobic about this issue, try and look above the crowd which will make it seem as if you are making eye contact with everyone. Eye contact is the way you can make your guests feel at home and a part of your big occasion.

Make sure your speech is loud enough to be heard. Don’t speak in a squeaky and barely inaudible voice so that guests have to train their ears hard to catch every single word! It would be a good idea to research a bit before preparing the speech. Check out good quotations, nice humorous jokes that can make the guests laugh. A speech prepared beforehand can definitely stand out in the crowd and make an excellent impression on your guests. So what are you waiting for? Start writing your speech the as early as you can and try to make your mark.
