Having made your points you come to the conclusion, which is summing up the points. you have made. If you are speaking about a bride and groom you will end by saying that though Mary and John have individual talents and skills it is as a couple they will dazzle the world and then you toast them. You are summing up the message of how marvellous they are.. If you are ending with a toast do make sure it is appropriate to the occasion and, if you can at all, make it personal to the recipient.

A speech is over in minutes. Yet the work and the preparation that goes into it should take hours. Think about how long it takes to read a book. It might take hours or days .Yet that book or even a movie will have taken years of hard work and preparation. Research your topic, find out the facts, open with interest and make enlightening and interesting points. Build in a summary and conclusion and you will have a speech that will impress. Now all you have to do is to stand up there and say it! You never know, you might even enjoy it and if you have done your homework your audience will.

Above all remember that content is better than length. Don’t bore people by going on too long.

Instead

Make those guests very happy
With a speech that’s short and snappy.
