Could you please let me know the correct order that the following speeches should be done and also what should the speech on behalf of the Bride/Groom's family entail?
-Speech on behalf of Bride's family
-Speech on behalf of Groom's family
-Best man speech
-Maid of Honour Speech
-Mother or bride speech
-Father of groom speech
-Grooms Speech & Telegrams by the groomsmen
There have been NUMEROUS discussions about who's right and wrong and I would love to make a final decision using and experts opinion.
The speeches may be arranged by personal choice. However, this is the traditional order.
The best man begins with a speech typically including tidbits about the couple, how they met, and how wonderful they are together.
The groom follows to thank the best man and toast his bride and all of the parents. The bride may or may not follow up with the same. Her parents and then his, close relatives, bridal party, and then friends may toast.
There are books directly focused on the speeches and the order. These may be very helpful for you.
And, I also want to point out that it isn't about who is right or who is wrong in this situation. Like Rebecca said, it is a personal choice. Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings
