Are you planning out your reception and starting to wonder how the typical wedding speech order runs throughout?
Well the first thing to note is that it is your wedding, so you can plan the order of speeches however you like. However if you would like to stick with tradition then here is the standard order.
- Best Man (Toasts the bride and groom)
- Father of the Groom
- Father of the Bride
- Groom (Toasts his new bride)
- Bride (Toasts her groom)
- Friends and relatives
- Maid or Matron of Honor
- Bridesmaids
- Mother of the Groom
- Mother of the Bride
Now this may seem like a lot of speeches and the truth is that the majority of these people are not going to make speeches – however, the list may include some people that you may not have though about offering a speech.
