10 Classic Speech Faux Pas Practice makes perfect where wedding speeches are concerned. Be careful not to get caught up in any of these confidence-bursting traps…
1. Speed Demon
Too many good speeches are ruined by a nervous speaker. Take your time. If you panic your delivery will automatically speed up. Remember to breath and pause. Give your audience time to digest what you're saying.
2. Alcohol Consumption
Don't ruin your speech by slurring your words. Slugging copious amounts of alcohol before your big moment will only end bring disaster. By all means have a tipple to steady your nerves but don't overdo.
3. Nervous Wreck
The old adage is true, practice really does make perfect. Public speaking is a common phobia but if you have prepared and have rehearsed what you are going to say, you'll come out on top. If you are nervous about making your speech, the root cause of your fear is likely to come from a concern of looking foolish. Choke back your worries and remember the audience is on your side. They want to enjoy your speech.
 4.On the Offensive
There are certain things that you just shouldn't talk about in a wedding speech. Blatantly insulting anyone in attendance (unless your tenderly poking fun at the groom!) will not go down well. You should also stay well away from smutty or crude jokes as they are only likely to embarrass.
5. Talking About the Ex
Bringing up prior relationships, failed marriages or one-night stands is never a good idea. Steer well clear of any stories about the ex if you
have any sense.
6. Don't Drone On
The last thing anyone wants to hear is a rambling speech. Plan what you are going to say, talk clearly and eloquently, and make sure you have a structure with a beginning, middle and an end. Keep it short. Aim to come in under seven minutes, longer than that and you're likely to hear the sound of snoring guests.
7. The Cult of Me
No one likes an egotist. Make sure your speech isn't all about ‘me', ‘me', ‘me'. Remember to thank those who have made the day possible and know when to stop talking. Avoid in jokes, references to people who not everyone will know and places they are not familiar with.
8. Bad Language
Vociferous swearing may be acceptable between you and your friends but is certainly not deemed appropriate as part of your wedding speech. Keep your language clean, sparing a thought for the more easily offended guests in attendance.
9. Talking Yourself Too Seriously
Lighten up this is meant to be a fun day. Don't get bogged down and over emotional. Instead, aim to keep your speech sincere and entertaining.
10.Never Ever Improvise
Take time preparing your speech in advance. Jot down ideas as they come to you and speak to other people about their experiences of speech writing. By all means use your imagination but it also helps to seek out anecdotes, books and quotations when creating your draft. After that, it's all about practice. Few people can successfully deliver a wedding speech off the top of their head so make sure what you know what you are going to say and then practice saying it.
