Every reception regardless of style is likely to have traditional wedding speeches on the program. They are customary at a traditional wedding reception and meant to keep an eye on the newlyweds.  As a general rule, if you expect to have individuals talk at your wedding reception, make a list of who you expect to to speak and what order they will talk in.  

The grandness of the wedding speeches changes but they are anticipated to offer up thanks, short humorous tales, or heartfelt toasts to the bride and bridegroom. If you go the traditional route and decide to have the best man make a speech, he should speak first and make a toast to the happy couple and the wedding party. 

The father of the bride will generally give a speech but now extended family may want to share a few words as well. In case the grooms father or mother expresses desire to speak they should speak about their son and why marrying his wife will improve him as a person. The speech by the maid or matron of honor may include thanking the bridal party, a humorous story about the happy couple, or things she knows about the groom.

Generally, the bride’s and bridegroom’s mothers don’t need to speak, but if they wish to, their orations should mention their child in a tender and genuine way that may stir some fond emotions in the other attendees. Important tips to remember: no matter who is talking, try and keep your wedding speech to a minimum if you are aware there are other individuals who want to speak. The happy couple or their wedding planner should make a list of people that are giving speeches, put them in order with their names and role in the wedding so everyone knows what is going on.
