Perfectly Capture the Audience: 3 Secrets to Crafting an Engaging and Fun 'Welcome Speech' for Your Wedding Reception!

I'm nervous just thinking about it! Time for the groom's welcome speech＊

Right after the start of the reception, the groom gives a welcome speech to the guests＊

"Thank you for coming today"

"Please enjoy yourselves"

He will express his gratitude in a concise manner, in about 1 to 2 minutes.

For grooms who are not used to speaking in front of others, this is a nerve-wracking moment.

It often happens that they go blank or forget their lines even after practicing＊

Of course, even those mistakes are part of the charm of a wedding, but still, as the bride, you hope:

That he will speak confidently and interestingly enough to liven up the room.

However, since a wedding has a lot of guests, it’s not enough to just say, "Make sure to give an exciting speech!” to him.

Brides should also study good ideas for their grooms!

So, this time, I'll introduce three tips to create an interesting and fun groom's speech that will engage the guests＊

Advise him, and together prepare a wonderful welcome speech♩

Tip 1 to liven up the groom's speech: Make it interactive for the guests

Making it interactive doesn't mean bringing guests up on stage or having them speak＊

Mix in questions like, "Who was looking forward to today?" and "Who thinks the groom will fumble?" into the speech

Encouraging guests to raise their hands can enhance the lively atmosphere in the venue♩

This idea of getting the guests to react will also make it easier for the groom to speak♡

Tip 2 to liven up the groom's speech: Create a cue card

If you want to go for something completely entertaining, it’s also a good idea to make a cheat sheet for the speech!

By holding a paper with "Cue Card" written on the cover, he can read exactly what he planned

Especially for friends in the audience, shouting "You got this!" or "What are you looking at?" adds a touch of humor＊

This kind of confident attitude will set the right tone at the start of the reception♩

Tip 3 to liven up the groom's speech: End with a big closing line

The last tip is to follow the philosophy that all's well that ends well, and finish with a strong closing line＊

For example, this groom ended his greeting with his bride by saying, "Welcome to the wedding!"

The bride even raised her hand, almost like a musical! Guest will definitely be surprised♡

In this way, having both the bride and groom decide on a catchphrase to say together loudly at the end could be great too＊

Making the groom's speech fun and enjoyable♩

Many grooms struggle before the wedding with the structure and script of the groom's welcome speech＊

If you implement the tips introduced this time, you’re sure to start the reception with a wonderfully entertaining and fun atmosphere!

When your groom is thinking of his welcome speech, be sure to suggest these ideas to him♡
