There are at least three speeches delivered during the wedding reception. While there are no exact rules in the content and delivery of each speech, there are wedding speech etiquette that are best observed.

Vulgarity – Improper language are oftentimes used by speakers at weddings to emphasize some sections of their. While this may seem like the norm at wedding parties, many of the listeners have a taste for foul words-free speeches. If you really need to use profane language to emphasize your point, try substituting gentler words instead. Your audience is not purely composed of adults, there may be children and very old people in your audience who require age-appropriate languages.

Unhappy topics – The wedding is an occasion for celebration, thus any reference to sore topics must be avoided. Unless there is a pressing need to mention a very recent death, try to avoid mentioning the topic. Talking about a tragedy on a happy occasion will instantly kill the mood of the audience. In the same manner, don’t mention anything about unhappy marriage, divorced couples or annulled couples – no one really wants to hear about these things on a happy occasion.

Alcohol and chewing gums – Even if you are not a speaker at a wedding, it is still improper to chew gums. Unless it’s part of your speech, don’t do it. It’s similar with alcohol. Some wedding speakers, to control their nervousness, help themselves with beer and other alcoholic drinks. While beverages with alcohol content can help a great deal with calming your nerves, it is still advisable to refrain from taking a sip of any alcoholic drinks.

Epic-like speeches – Delivering long speeches is never a good idea. Even if you have the necessary skills to pull off a very entertaining speech, your audience may lack the patience to sit down for an hour or more, listening to another person’s stories. So as much as you can, keep your speech short. The ideal length is 5 minutes. Pack your messages into one concise and coherent speech and make it a point to drive your point without taking too many segues.

On talking about stories about your own relationship – For the best man and the maid of honor and bridesmaids, it is tempting to mention a few lines about their own relationships. Although some people accept this, talking about personal relationship breaches the etiquette of wedding speeches.

Jokes that are not in good taste – It is perfectly fine to talk about funny experiences which really happened to either the bride or the groom or crack jokes about marriage.

However, there are some jokes that just don’t fit the definition of what is appropriate according to wedding speech etiquette. These include jokes of sexual nature, jokes about past relationships of either the bride or the groom (these can be mentioned if either of them had given the speaker permission), and jokes that uses impolite expressions or slang as these could offend the majority of your listeners. Cracking jokes with racial or ethnic connotations is also in bad taste.
