A little bit of forward planning will make your speech easier to give than you think. Some people make it look easy but they have usually thought about their speech and planned it out.
My best guide is to make it short and sweet. 3 minutes if you really want a time limit. Unless you are a really good speaker and have a great speech then keep it really short, funny and inspiring and the guests will love you.
In general - Think Past, Present and Future and in 3 short minutes you will have made a great speech.
- The Past. If you have a short funny story about their younger days tell it. You can embarrass them (but not too much)
- Thank them for the joy they have brought into your life and marvel at their ability to make it this far
- The Present. Tell them how special they are
- Thank your guests for coming and of course the presents, and
- The Future. Say what you want the future to hold for the lucky couple, and
- Raise your glasses to toast.
Your speech will need to contain other information depending on your role in the ceremony. If you would like a personalised speech written especially for you please contact me "Treasurechild". If I don't have a speech currently listed I will list one especially for you to purchase.
You probably know all the other tips like
- rehearse your speech,
- write it down if you want but try not to just read it out,
- look at your audience,
- if you leave something out or make a mistake just keep going. Chances are the guests have had a few drinks by this stage and after all they are friends and family here. They aren't here to criticise your speech. They are here to celebrate the coming together of two very special people.
Congratulations to anyone getting married or committing to one another and Have fun out there today in ebayland.

We do realise that customers from the USA and Canada (in particular) are used to the excellent service that popular couriers provide domestically in your countries but would also hasten to point out that this level of service at this low cost is not made available outside your countries by these same companies
We usually ship by Registered Australia Post due to it’s reliability and low cost, but the downside to this is that there is no internet trackable number to follow progress of your shipment and it is slower than using the couriers, although the item is still fully insured. We are issued with a ‘Registered Mail’ consignment number which can be used to make enquiry at the Post Office here in Australia and also to claim insurance (should this ever be required) but it can’t be used for online web based tracking – that service isn’t available using Registered Post
We do realise that it would be nice to be able to track on the internet but it’s a cost matter: If we used insured couriers for example our shipping costs would have to be approximately four times higher than they are now
We can provide an express courier shipping facility (which includes an internet trackable number) for an additional $100 shipping cost which is effectively cost price for this service – we would not derive any profit from this service should you choose to use it as this does represent the typically cost charged for this service in this part of the world
Our own experience has also shown that the implementation of the Homeland Security Laws requiring package searches on entry to various countries has added a whole new dimension to shipping times. Pure shipping by Registered mail typically takes 3-15 Business days while Customs can add another 5-10 business days to shipping times in countries where customs is 'fast', for example Singapore. In countries where we have found Customs to 'not be fast' (Canada and Netherlands in particular spring to mind), Customs can add up to another 30 business days to the delivery process due to their slow processes.
Please rest assured we do not 'hold onto' your money; we ship 98% of all items within two business days of us receiving payment
