Thank You's

Thank You's

Do FH & I have to make a 'thank you speech' at the wedding? If so, what should it entail?! I am nervous & clueless. Should FH do most of the talking? When do we do one?

Re: Thank You's

We didn't

ETA: but we did go around to each table and talk to people.

I'm going to but I'm dreading FH getting up there. he rambles on and on..

and he keeps saying I'm gonna close my speech with...'Bring on DA noise!'

um...no.

You don’t have to, but DH said a few things. It was sweet. He just thanked everyone for coming and said a special Thank You to my mom and grandma (they helped us out a lot) and my mom had just gotten out of the hosp a week before so he said something to her (and I was too emotional to do it).

I think it is nice when the bride and/or groom say a quick thank you at the wedding. It does NOT need to be long -- as I think it is also custom to make a little personal speech at the RD (which can be longer and more personal to your close family and friends). But I do think you should say just a little something about how you hope everyone is enjoying the night and that you are so happy they are there to celebrate with you.

Re: Thank You's

you don't have to do it at the wedding. Some people do but it's not necessary.

Most couples opt to do a thank you speech at the RD but even that is not necessary.

Re: Thank You's

We didn't do one!! We didn't do it at the RD either. DH asked me if he should I said ahhh screw it, no one wants to hear us talk.

ETA: We TRIED to go arond to the tables to talk to everyone but everytime we got to a new table we got pulled away by another guest or something.

Re: Thank You's

WE arent saying a speech at the wedding. We will say our thank yous at the RD and go around to thank everyone at the wedding.

Re: Thank You's

DH made a little speech whch consisted of 'thank yous' at the RD. During the wedding, we TRIED to get to every table - but it didn't happen...we were only able to make it to half...

Re: Thank You's

we didnt make a speech at the wedding... but at the rd dh said a little speech thanking everybody for being there for us, and blah blah blah.
we also went around to each table at the wedding and talked to everybody a little bit.

Re: Thank You's

We are going to make a small thank you speech at the RD.

Too much will be going on the day of to make a speech. HTH

Re: Thank You's

We're going to walk around the tables. But no speech. FI is already freaked out about being the center of attention all day. If we had to do a speech...

Re: Thank You's

I think we are going to so we don't have to go to every table. I know that may sound rude, but hey, I am paying alot for this night and I want to enjoy it the way I want to!!

Re: Thank You's

You don't, but it might be a good idea if you have a large wedding. I'm expecting mine to be close to 300 and going around to each table will eat up most of the night.. So I plan on getting up there saying thank you so much everyone for coming and I hope you enjoy the night... Lets party! and thats it.. FH, not so good with the words haha, so I'll handle it and he'll stand there and we will not go around to tables.. We will say hellos and thank you for coming at the CH to as many guests as we can, and the speech and thats ittttttttt
