Wedding Speech Planning Tool
Wedding Speech Planning Tool
Great speeches start with planning. This tool is designed to help the couple (or whoever is helping them plan the wedding) to decide which speeches should be included in the wedding and also what content should be covered in each of the speeches. The output can then be used to brief the speakers on what content each of them is expected to cover, which toasts they should give etc.
This project can also be purchased indirectly as part of the ESSENTIAL PLUS package.

Do wedding speeches really need to be planned?
Definitely! The guests will get bored if every speaker rattles on about the same topic, even if that topic is the newlyweds. Sure, they're the stars of the day, but what about heartfelt words for the parents, bridesmaids, or other beloved attendees?
Getting it right is trickier than you might think. Who should say what depends on who else is speaking. For example, a toast to the couple would normally be given by the father of the bride but might move to the best man in certain circumstances. But who decides? Without some oversight, the result will be overlapping content in some areas and glaring omissions in others. This lack of cohesion and alignment is exacerbated by the siloed way in which wedding speeches are traditionally created.
The speakers at a wedding reception have 15-30 minutes between them to cover a lot of ground. By the time the last speaker sits down, every important sentiment should have been shared, and every significant individual acknowledged, all while keeping the crowd engaged. However, the speakers don’t have access to each other’s content ahead of time. So what to do?
Our specialized tool is your secret weapon. It gives you a chance to develop a unified vision ensuring that every speech complements the other, making sure no sentiment is overlooked and every cherished guest feels appreciated. Don't leave it to chance; orchestrate the perfect symphony of speeches with our guidance.
