• Before starting the speech, make sure you have a glass of water with you. You may need to clear your throat during the speech, and your mouth can become very dry when speaking, particularly in a warm room in front of a lot of people. It's also likely you will need to have a glass of Champagne or sparkling wine with you to take a sip of during the toasts. This can be something a lot of people forget about before starting their wedding speech.
• It will be likely that you do have anyway but it's best to try and have a table in front of you when you make your speech. It's difficult to say why but it will feel so much more comfortable than delivering the speech with nothing between yourself and the wedding guests. Even politicians don't like speaking without at least something between them and their audience. It's also something on which you can rest your notes, your water and Champagne, as well as any gifts if you happen to be giving (or receiving!) any.
• If you are nervous about the speech, then it can be very tempting to try and have a few drinks beforehand to calm the nerves. One or two is fine but please please please don't drink so much that you end up drunk, slurring words, and speaking absolute rubbish. It's generally not much fun for the guests!
• If the room in which you will be speaking is small enough for all of the guests to be able to hear you, then try to avoid using a microphone. Using a microphone can be more difficult than it looks and is often a distraction. Speak as loudly and clearly as possible and everything should be ok. However, do try and check on the size of the room as soon as you arrive at the venue (if not on a day in advance of the wedding) just to be sure that you think a microphone won't be needed. If it is, then the venue should be able to provide one and ensure that it's set up in advance of the speeches.
• When delivering your speech, the temptation will be to try and get it over as soon as possible. However, that is generally no fun for the guests and it will be hard for them to follow what you are saying. Try to speak nice and slow and clearly.
• Body Language can be important when delivering the speech. Try to stand up tall and straight and give the impression of confidence. If you are reading the speech from paper then still try and make occasional contact with your audience.
• When getting to the part of your speech where you are proposing a toast, make sure you allow the guests to stand and rise from their chairs before continuing with the speech. It's easy just to carry on but there can be a lot of noise as people rise from their seats, and the chairs slide against the floor. Just allowing that short pause ensures that everyone will hear what you have to say and join you in the toast.
