Engagement Party Speech Ideas
-
Before starting the speech, thank all those
who have marked their presence, to grace the occasion. It is
better to address personally, so that everyone at the party is
shown the attention that he/she deserves. Pass a glance at every
body present there, to show that you are addressing everyone in
the party. If someone has come from a long way or someone who is
very old, yet took the pains to join the celebration, be sure to
announce their name during the speech.
-
After greeting and thanking the guests, you
may now start your speech. For an attractive opening, you may
start with a funny quotation regarding the commitment of
marriage. A nice quotation about a father-daughter relationship
can also serve the purpose. You can get numerous quotes for both
the cases, in the Internet. Thereafter, develop the speech
revolving around the quote.
-
As you proceed towards the main content,
bring in some anecdotes. You may recall the most memorable
moments in your daughter's life. Start with your daughter's
childhood, proceed to teenage, college years and then finally
come to the present situation.
-
You can include any specific incident that is
fondly remembered by the family of the bride. Ensure that the
hilarious incident you quote carries good humor, at the same
time, doesn't embarrass anyone present there.
-
After you are done with narrating interesting
stories about your daughter, it is the time to address the
groom's family. Tell them that you are looking forward to the
day when your precious daughter marries him and begins a new
life.
-
The engagement party speech should not be
very lengthy. Agreed, you cannot sum up the heartfelt feelings
for your daughter and your happiness for her being engaged.
However, if you go on narrating anecdotes and praises of the
couple, the guests would feel bored and in the worst case, walk
out! Therefore, ensure that the speech you prepare is short and
crisp.
