Giving wedding ceremony speeches can be nerve wracking for many. Not only is public speaking one of the top fears of many, but combined with the wedding day being such an important event for those involved creates even more pressure.

If you are a part of this special day, however, and are expected to give a wedding ceremony speech, we have some advice for you. This is a quick and easy tip, and can be used for all wedding ceremony speeches, regardless of whether you are the Best Man, the Groom, the Father of the Bride or even just a friend who wants to speak.

If you only take one piece of advice when planning your wedding ceremony speech, just remember to keep it short and sweet.

No one wants to sit through an hour long speech at a wedding. Keep your speech about five minutes long, and keep it short and to the point. You don’t need a speech to be longer than five minutes. In that five minute time frame, you should be able to touch on everything you need to, thank the people you need to thank, and wish the happy couple well.

If you put your speech together while keeping this time limit in mind, you will find it will force you to cut out much of the fluff. Typically there will be many wedding speeches. A lot of these speeches will be redundant, so don’t feel the obligation to stand and say the same things everyone else did for 30 minutes.

Giving a five minute speech will allow you to be more comfortable talking, and will make the crowd much happier. It’s a wedding, people aren’t there to hear you talk! Keep it short and sweet and your speech will certainly be one that is appreciated.

There are many tips on giving great wedding speeches, plus a lot of great advice.

Choosing Formal Attire

Many people tend to dress less formal at beach weddings . Its best to wear lighter fabrics so that you are comfortable at your wedding and keep it short enough so it doesn’t drag in the sand.

Choosing the Location

You want to make sure you look into legal considerations such as permits and restrictions. Make sure you find out how much parking is available and also keep in mind the number of guests you have invited. You want to make sure your location is secure and safe as well.

You’ll want to decide if your going to tie the knot at a public beach or private. Private may be more expensive, so your going to have to look at your budget and go from there.

Time of Day

Saying your vows at sunset may create the most romantic atmosphere for the wedding albums. You’ll have to keep updates on the weather so that you prepare yourself incase something changes.

Comfort level

You’ll have to set up chairs for your guests so they don’t have to stand in the sand. Make sure there are accessible bathrooms nearby as well. And keep the ceremony a fair distance away from the water incase of the tide. Incase of unexpected weather you’ll also want to have a tent set up.
