When it comes to your Groom Toasts you don’t have to be the best groom there has ever been, but you definitely don’t want to upset anyone. I could live with not having the funniest Grooms Speech ever but I did not want to upset anyone.
To help you avoid disaster I’ve put together a few hints and tips to help you.
Focusing on the Bride
The most important point is to make sure the Grooms Speech focuses on the bride, your speech should be for her. I wanted to make my bride the princess for the day, this may seem a little mushy but it goes down well with the bride. After all many girls their wedding day is something they have dreamt of for years and as I’m sure you are finding out they want everything to be absolutely perfect.
So remember to focus on the bride, but don’t make jokes at her expense or be crude in anyway. Even if you think you have a really funny joke about her don’t go there, believe me I’ve seen it happen and either the Bride or a member of the Bride’s family takes it really bad.
Groom Toasts – Things to Be Avoided
Another potential disastrous topic is the D word, Divorce. Again it may seem funny to you and your friends to joke about Divorce, but believe me give it a miss, you will regret it later.
The real disastrous Groom Wedding Speeches all have one common element… Alcohol. On the day it can be tempting to guzzle a ton of Alcohol to settle those nerves before your Grooms Speech. But don’t do it.
If you drink too much you will not stick to the planned Groom Toast and are likely to say something that you will later regret. Personally I stuck to two glasses of Wine before my Groom Wedding Speech, this was enough to settle the nerves but not so much that I could not deliver my planned speech.
My final tip to avoid a disastrous Groom Toast is to plan ahead. Don’t be like me, get some groom speech ideas early on and make sure you start scribbling some notes early on. I’m sure if you avoid the pitfalls above you will give a fantastic toast.
