Making the Right Groom Toast!

In my last post How to please everybody in your Groom Wedding Speech, I talked about pleasing everybody. If you forgot to thank someone, it is still easy to manage. But saying the wrong thing in the groom toast can lead to complete disaster ! To make sure, I do not make any such wrong or nasty comment, I searched up and found some great tips that I am sharing with you.

Pleasing Your Bride

When talking about your bride, make sure you stick to all the favorable moments always. Anything that might even raise your bride's eye brow are better avoided, that means even the slightly teasing jokes or anything that seemed to be funny to you. Better stick to what your bride wants to listen and you can never go wrong.

Another important point, never compare your bride with anyone else. Whether it is your previous wive(s), girl friends or your mother. Your bride is unique and it is her special day. So make sure you stick with all the right things.

Drinking Alcohol

Having a drink before your groom wedding speech is not a good idea. Alcohol has the potential to make you say something wrong which can lead to a big disaster. So you are better off holding that drink till the end of the groom wedding speech. I was tempted because of the nervousness of speaking at the big occasion but I managed to hold off.

Additional Tips

Some other tips that can help pull off the best groom toast is to always set your objectives on what you want to convey but do not mug up the speech. Another thing I can not stress enough, is to plan ahead for the speech. Less preparation means you may not achieve the objectives and may end up upsetting somebody by saying something wrong. Further, do not drag your speech for long. The longer you go, the less impact it has  and higher your chances of making a mistake.

There are plenty of sources out there that help you write a funny groom wedding speech that does not offend anyone.
