Speeches

Are you guys going to screen the speeches your bridal party makes prior to making them?

Re: Speeches

Only our BM did a speech but we trusted him not to say anything absurb or rude.

I would go by the people you chose, if you think they will totally embarrass you then I would screen them, if not then no

I don't plan on screening them. It's all in good fun and people know it's a wedding!!

Re: Speeches

Trust is the reason I asked my bestfriend to be my MOH and to deliver a speech. As expected she deliver a funny, 'informative' and thoughtful speech (its better that DH's best man )

Re: Speeches

Both my MOH and DH's BM made speeches at our wedding and we didn't feel the need to screen them----we trusted them not to say anything outrageous or rude.

Re: Speeches

Hopefully the person you choose to do a speech has enough sense to keep it classy and respectful. I think that keeping it surprise and hearing it at your wedding for the first time would be more special.

Re: Speeches

we are just asking them not to include anything crude or in poor taste, cussing etc.

Re: Speeches

Just emphasize what you don't want said and they should hopefully take a hint. That's what I am doing so I don't take away from the surprise. I would hope they would know better to keep it classy.

Re: Speeches

My problem is that I have two people in the BP who are dying to make a speech, however they have spoken at other weddings and have stated things that were embarrassing for the couple.

I don't know what to do since I don't want to insult them but I don't trust them to keep certain things confidential.

Re: Speeches

I wouldn't screen their actual speech, but I would only allot specific people to give speeches, I wouldn't want that many impromptu speeches to happen.

Re: Speeches

We didnt and I think whoever makes the speech should know well enough since its for a wedding not to say anything they shouldnt or might regret down the road.
