Most of us attend birthday or wedding anniversary speeches at some time during the year. There is often a great sameness about these occasions. They can be personalised, however, if you give a really memorable speech. In such a speech you should bring the party boy or girl or the couple celebrating their anniversary to life. Your speech should make people say “I never knew that” or “oh I remember when that happened” It should include your audience and make them feel as though they are celebrating the years the couple spent together or the celebrant’s achievements over the years. Such a speech should be warm-hearted and loving with a touch of humour. Everyone loves to be feted and that’s exactly what you do when you give such a speech. So give your party the personal touch by talking about someone’s personality and life choices. They’ll be glad you did.

It’s easy to talk about birthdays. Candles and cakes are generic but what about the person you are toasting? He or she is unique and your speech should be too. It should mention his/her traits and attributes, talk about his/her activities and generally make the party boy or girl feel very special indeed. In other words your speech should be a one off.

Alphabet games are great fun and they make you think when trying to write a birthday speech. Think of an animal starting with the letter A for ass and go through the alphabet until you reach zebra. You can do the same for colours. It’s a great way to break the ice at a birthday party.

Speaking of Friendship

Friendship is a brilliant thing. Yet how often to we actually sit down or stand up and pay tribute to that special friend?

We know that without that friend the world would be a different place. Even us chaps can admit that much.

A birthday speech is one brilliant way to do it. Friendship is a great theme. Speeches given at birthdays can be a great way to mix gentle humour with an anecdote or two. This type of speech is directly given to the birthday boy or girl. It can be as sentimental as you like.

The only rule is that you let your heart rule your head. Let the recipient be in no doubt of the esteem in which they are held.

Add yourself to the list. It will be the best birthday present you have even given - and the cheapest.
