Anniversary Speech and Toast Tips and Samples
1. Anecdotes. Customizing any speech with anecdotes that refer to the happy couple is the most important thing. And make sure it is light and fun. In other words, a story about when Spot or Rover died will not work.
2. Research. Do some research on celebrants (like how they met, how they proposed, etc.) so you can pepper your speech with these important fun facts.
3. Appointments. You can find tons of anniversary quotes on the internet if you are interested. One or two, no more!
4. Family. Ooops, do not forget to mention the close family members and thank those who are organizing the event.
5. Play with words. Or playing with words is a better way of saying it. For example, if it's a golden anniversary-use the word "golden" over and over to describe the couple- "when John married Mary, he got the" golden "goose.
6. Be emotional. Try practicing your speech so it is not read only from a sheet of paper or index cards. Your presentation will be much more entertaining and meaningful if you speak from your heart not a written document.
7. Be brief. If a person yawns, you have. Your thoughts should not be more than 2-3 minutes or the event will go from fun to boring-quickly.
8. Supports. If you have photos or anything special that you can bring to get your point across, do it. Break the monotony and make you different from the rest.
