How weddings have changed in the decades! From a handful to 400-500 invited guests; one-two to six-eight wedding party members; a fairly easy wedding car to expensive and big wedding cars; three course meals to 6 course meals; 1 to 3 live bands; simple attire to colorful and flamboyant dresses, suits and attire and off-the-cuff to well-prepared wedding speeches.
Talking about aforementioned, wedding speeches are still an important part of a wedding and guests do enjoy hearing them, talking about them before, during and indeed after they’ve been delivered.
We have all heard of father of the bride speech delivered prior to meal, in the meal after your food, yet it is of an strong opinion that this wedding speeches should be delivered following the meal. I realize that for many bridal party speakers i.e. Father in the Bride Speech, Father in the Groom Speech, Bride Speech, Groom Speech and Bestman Speech (the 5 main speakers), they will would rather contain the wedding speeches prior to the meal, so they can enjoy their meal (many of them are spending money for it!). However, it’s all about the invited guests and how most of them (and indeed the wedding venue staff) would prefer wedding ceremony speeches being delivered as soon as the meal for a lot of reasons, some of which include:
The invited guests have been fed and watered and aren’t playing wedding speeches before eating anything (at least of food, which may be the case prior to meal, though weddings today do provide light snacks upon arrival in the wedding venue)
Food can be cooked and served with the agreed time (introduce wedding ceremony speeches before the meal as well as their might be a delay of Fifteen minutes one.5 hours, driving your home staff crazy always keeping food freshly cooked, presentable and edible)
Wedding ceremony speeches work as the transition in the meal towards the dancing (with nothing happening after the meal, people are expecting ‘a few words’ to get shared in regards to the Bride & Groom and they do know they could wake up, move about, come out, take a stroll, see a bar…)
It’s not easy for fogeys from the Bride & Groom to talk in public places, the majority of them wouldn’t be used of computer. So, they can, if they so wished, speak before the / their meal.
There should nevertheless be some kind of formal speech(es) following your meal…
