Product Description

Product Description
Providing the father of the bride, groom, best man, bride and bridesmaids with the foundations to build their own personalized speech suitable for any occasion, this title explains the "rules" for memorable speeches. The main section of the book features sample speeches, which speakers can use to build their own speeches. Grouped by subject or occasion, each individual speaker is provided with suitable examples from thanking the families and discussing the bride and groom, to declarations of love and advice for the relationship. A reference section, which provides ample "one-liners", grouped into beginning, middle and ends of typical speeches, suitable to drop into any speech and quirky examples and humorous anecdotes complete this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to deliver a memorable speech!, 22 Feb 2003
Read this book with a box of tissues - I was crying with laughing at some of the suggested jokes and anecodotes.
This book contains humour, seriousness, memory lane, advice for the future - everything you need to write a wedding speech that will be remembered (whether the wedding is videoed or not!)
As with Confetti's other books and the website, this book will be of use to all best men, grooms, brides, fathers and mothers who want to make a speech at their wedding of the year!
The suggestions made provide a 'backbone' and structure for the speech, that will then become personal to the couple once you add in your own anecdotes and memories.
The book also offers guidance on what is, and is not, appropriate material for wedding speeches - always useful if you want to keep on speaking terms with your friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 21 Feb 2009
By AquaViola (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
I did my entire speech based on things presented in this book. It lasted five minutes, and apparently had every female almost in tears.

This book presents your role in making your speech and the building blocks to enable you to do that succinctly. Even if you only take the structure that it gives you and ignore the sample speeches (which I did to a large extent), you will probably do well. The advantage of this book is that you can also see what other people in your party are hopefully going to do, so you don't have to worry about making a long speech to thank everybody, because you know that others will be doing that in part for you.

This book made my speech short, punchy, and memorable. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars A few helpful pointers, 29 Mar 2005
By A Customer
Speech went well !

The book gives some good pointers, though much of the material you'll end up writing yourself. It is good for preparing the structure of the speech and managing the nerves !
