As you may already know, speeches are a big wedding tradition, but is that tradition fading? We’re seeing more and more couples opt to either do speeches during the rehearsal dinner or forego them all together. In this blog we’ll talk a little about the benefits of each, who the typical key speakers are, and help you try to figure out which is best for you! Why A Speech?
First off, let’s answer why this is a tradition. The origins of toasts are actually traced back to ancient societies as a drink offering to god(s). And toasting at weddings is traced back to sixth Century B.C.! So needless to say, toasts at weddings have been happening for a long time! The Greeks would pour wine in a common pitcher and the bride’s father would drink first, proving there was no poison in the wine! Over the centuries the toast became a way to honor the couple. Speeches At The Wedding In the past, speeches were given on the night of the wedding, usually during the reception. We’re seeing this less and less, however when we do see it, it’s right before the couple cuts the cake. Parents, the maid of honor, the best man, and the couple are known to give a speech and the combined duration can be anywhere from 30-45 minutes. That’s a pretty long time and can eat into your reception time quite a bit. Also, they can be embarrassing. You might not be good in front of crowds and you may be nervous of what people may say in their speech.This is why we believe most people are opting to forego them. While lots of people are foregoing them, that doesn’t mean you have to! Wedding speeches are a great way to thank your guests and connect with them on a different level. Hearing from the best man and maid of honor, gives your guests the opportunity to learn things about you and your new spouse they wouldn’t otherwise know! *Pro Tip > If you are planning on doing toasts, be sure to let your photographer and videographers know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly. Speeches At The Rehearsal Dinner So you know you want speeches, but having them at the reception just isn’t for you? Well having your speeches at your rehearsal dinner might just be the perfect compromise! More and more couples are choosing to do their wedding speeches at their rehearsal dinner as opposed to the night of the wedding. This is such a great idea for a few reasons. For one, it gives you the opportunity to have toasts in front of a more intimate crowd. This gives you a chance to be a bit more vulnerable. It also gives more people the opportunity to say something without the pressure of lots of people! Foregoing Speeches Altogether Okay, so speeches aren’t for you. Not only do you not want to be put on the spot in front of people, you don’t want to put that kind of pressure on your closest friends and family. We get it, and that’s okay! We always say that it’s YOUR wedding day, so don’t get pressured to follow tradition and do something you don’t really want to do. However, one big thing we do suggest is to make sure you have the conversation with your significant other. They may have a strong opinion one way or another. And if that’s the case, remember, relationships are about compromise :) Looking for more inspiration and wedding planning tips?
