Wedding Breeze

Despite my earlier advice on avoiding jokes and alcohol, funny groom speeches are one of the great things about any wedding speech. It doesn’t all need to be funny, but funny groom speeches are a great crowd-pleaser – so long as they are still poignant all the same and don’t offend anyone.

Even though I wanted to be funny, I still kept it in my head that it had to be respectful. I also had to consider the other wedding speakers like the father of the bride so that I didn’t pull the rug from under him or insult his daughter! Goodness only knows how any of those kind of jokes would have gone down! Click here to learn more: Funny Groom Speeches.

The Secret to Good Speech Humour

The use of humour in my own wedding speech really helped to make sure that everyone kept listening properly. By throwing in an anecdote here and joke there, it kept everyone focused on what was coming next. In any toast, the groom should be the centre of attention and keep it that way, as well as directed onto his bride, of course!

Try injecting your speech with a joke or two in the right place. With this in mind, the best tip I can give you is to even out your funny groom speech. I was pretty nervous and emotional, so this also really helped me as well as the audience!

Another great funny groom speeches tip I learned is to be informal and interact with the audience. Remember this is a wedding speech not a lecture. You should be conversational as if talking to old friends, which will invariably be the case anyway. Make eye contact with the audience, and don’t fix your gaze in one direction constantly. I found that practicing with friends really helped me to improve this technique before the big day.
