Short, medium and long, so you can match whatever slot you have at the reception, from a thirty-second toast to a full best-man speech.

Yes, pick a speaker type first, bride, groom, parent or friend, and the tone and content adjust to fit that voice.

Keep it personal and specific rather than generic, practise reading it aloud a few times, and speak slower than feels natural. Nerves speed people up more than they realise.

What a wedding speech needs

Three to five minutes. One clear relationship to the couple, one specific story that shows something true about them, a line addressed to the person marrying in, and a toast. That is the whole structure, and speeches that fail almost always fail by adding to it.

The specific story is the part that matters. "He has always been generous" is forgettable; the time he drove four hours to help you move is not.

Reading the room

A wedding audience spans grandparents and university friends at the same table. The reliable test for any joke is whether it would land with the oldest person present — if it would not, it belongs at the after-party rather than the microphone.

Avoid ex-partners, money, anything said in confidence, and in-jokes that only a handful of people can follow. At a multi-day wedding the reception audience is usually the widest of the week.

Rehearse it out loud

Speeches always run longer spoken than read. Say it aloud, time it, and cut to fit rather than talking faster on the day.

Print it in a size you can read at a glance under bad lighting, and hold the paper — phones dim, and the screen goes dark at exactly the wrong moment.
