    Inspiration for speeches

    A good speech is one of the most memorable parts of any celebration. Whether you're giving a wedding, confirmation or milestone birthday speech, it's about finding the right balance between personal stories, humour and heartfelt wishes.

    Wedding speeches are typically the most formal. Parents welcome guests and share their joy, while the best man or maid of honour often tells funny anecdotes about the couple.

    Confirmation speeches have a more relaxed tone. You can be a bit funny and tease the guest of honour – but always end with warm words.

    Birthday speeches vary greatly depending on the age. For milestone birthdays, it's popular to look back on past decades with humour and nostalgia.

    Personal stories are the secret to every great speech. Tell a specific story instead of generic compliments.

    Also think about when the speech fits into the programme. Coordinate with the toastmaster.

    Practise your speech out loud at least twice before the event. It builds confidence and ensures good timing.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do you write a good speech?

    Start with a personal greeting, tell a story or memory, and end with a warm wish or toast. Keep it between 3–5 minutes.

    How long should a party speech be?

    A good party speech typically lasts 3–5 minutes, which is about 500–800 words.

    When are speeches given at weddings?

    Speeches are usually given during dinner – often between courses. The couple's parents speak first, then the best man/maid of honour.
