How To Write a Short Wedding Speech

With this guide, you can create short and sweet wedding speeches that will just flow organically. Write a killer speech that would be easy to read and will convey your love for the couple perfectly.

  • Remember who is in the audience: Whether you are giving short wedding speeches as the best man or groom, it is important to keep your audience in mind. Introduce yourself and acknowledge them. Focusing on the audience and engaging them will help you speak from the heart.
  • Avoid alcohol: While getting some liquid courage can be tempting, it is best to lay off the alcohol until after your speech. Alcohol could turn short funny wedding speeches into something long and nonsensical. This is because you might slur or forget your words under the influence, and this is something you absolutely do not want.
  • Use note cards: Although you are not encouraged to read out your short wedding rehearsal dinner speech completely, note cards are encouraged. With these cues, you can glance at your notes from time to time to help you remember your lines and keep you on track. The audience might not even notice, and your speech would be better for it.
  • Structure your story: Structure your speech in a way that focuses on the bride and groom. Fine one, two or three points about them that you can elaborate upon and stories in which they are the hero. This will keep your message in the right direction, and you can be sure to end on a positive note.

In the next part, we have a list of some of the best short wedding speeches that can help inspire you to write your own.

Example of a Short Wedding Toast

“Cheers to [Couple’s Names]! May your days be filled with love, laughter, and countless joyous moments. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together!”

How to Make a Short and Sweet Wedding Speech

Focus on key points like expressing happiness for the couple, sharing a brief anecdote, and offering a toast. Keep it concise, heartfelt, and light-hearted for impact.

Is a 1 Minute Wedding Speech Too Short?

No, a 1-minute wedding speech can be perfect. A concise speech ensures guests stay engaged and leaves a lasting impression. Focus on the essentials – expressing joy, sharing a quick story, and toasting the couple.

Not many people are trained public speakers, but it is hard to go wrong with short wedding speeches. Allow these tips and examples to guide you in making the best wedding speeches ever.

The Surprising Wedding Speech

We love hearing a speech from someone who isnā€™t part of the usual line up.

One couple asked the brideā€™s 84-year-old grandad to say a few words. They didnā€™t want him to get stressed about giving a formal speech so simply asked him to reveal his top five tips for a happy marriage. On the day he made everyone smile with a perfect mix of cheek, insight and nonsense. One of his tips included ā€˜no number twos in front of each otherā€™. Even the best man couldnā€™t have gotten away with that.

Kids are also a great way to add humour to the speeches, as well as the cute factor. Get them to give you marriage advice too. We guarantee it will be priceless.

The Joint Speech

Whether itā€™s a bride and groom speech or a same-sex speech ā€“ joint speeches are a wedding trend thatā€™s set to stay. Itā€™s a great way of saying, BOOM, weā€™re a team. And who doesnā€™t love a double act?

It also makes a lot of sense ā€“ you  both  get to thank your friends and family, and you can practise without feeling the need to hide away in a cupboard.

Find out how to write and deliver a joint speech. Ā 

The Funny Wedding Speech  

Of course, all speeches should be funny but some stand out.

One of the funniest speeches weā€™ve heard was a head-to-head between the best man and maid of honour where they debated who had lost the better friend. The bride and groom were then pitted against each other in different categories like ā€˜drinking abilityā€™, ā€˜DIY skillsā€™ and ā€˜comedic appearanceā€™. The fact the best man and maid of honour couldnā€™t stop laughing throughout the speech only added to the comedy.

Read our blog on how to write a truly funny speech without resorting to Google gags.

The Heartfelt Wedding Speech

sample wedding speeches of principal sponsors

Guests want tears (they’re demanding like that) and it’s great to have an emotional epicentre to the day.

Careful though, a sentimental speech should NOT contain any clichƩs and platitudes. It needs to be genuine and unique.

One of the sweetest speeches weā€™ve heard was a dad who delivered a speech that was less than three minutes long. He didn’t bother giving us a chronological rundown of his daughter’s achievements – instead, he cut straight to the chase and listed the reasons he loved her.

Those insights included ‘tolerating my love of Bruce Springstein in the car’, ‘buying me a nose trimmer’, and ‘making me smile whenever you come home’. It was one of our favourite ever speeches.

The Revealing Wedding Speech

We love a speech which lets everyone in on a secret. One bride got everyone smiling (and a few people crying) when, during her speech, she called a waiter over, requested a cheese toastie with peanut butter and revealed to the guests that she was three months pregnant.

Obviously conceiving is a bit much when it comes to gathering good content but there are other options. A classic was the groom who confessed to his in-laws that heā€™d been seeing their daughter for six months prior to them knowing. He then amused the audience with tales of his undercover antics, even managing to get the in-laws laughing too!

The Spontaneous ‘Speech’

sample wedding speeches of principal sponsors

Weā€™ve been to a couple of weddings which havenā€™t had any formal speeches but have been inspired by countries where everyone is welcomed to give a toast throughout the meal.

Itā€™s a fun idea which allows everyone to get involved without anyone feeling under pressure. People can choose to be sentimental or funny but every speech is short and sweet. Warning – it can become rather raucous the more alcohol is consumed!

Most people would agree that public speaking isn't easy, and this is especially true when you're feeling the added pressure that comes along with giving a speech at a loved one's wedding. Not only do you have the attention of dozens (if not hundreds!) of guests you probably don't know, but you're also trying to appeal to a group of people in a wide range of ages from all different phases of the couple's lives. What's more, you want your speech to delight the couple of the hour and be as appealing to your group of friends as it to the newlyweds' grandparents. All in all, it's a tough task.

Before you panic, know that we're here to help. Ahead, we're sharing a comprehensive guide on what you should include in your speech , how to nail your delivery, and questions to consider to get the brainstorming process startedā€”all from noteworthy speakers, well-established speechwriters, and wedding planners (who have seen it all).

Wedding Speech Template

Every great wedding speech has one thing in common: the right flow. Factor in these guidelines to help you find your own organic rhythm.

Open With a Statement or Question

Don't lead with a joke or a reference to how nervous you are. "The goal is to engage your audience, not make it a boring one-way message," says award-winning motivational speaker Jaime Pfeffer . "You'll lose them if you do this."

Introduce Yourself

After your opener, introduce yourself, says Fallon Carter , a wedding planner, even designer, and professional speaker. "A lot of times, people don't know who is speaking, and they don't know their relationship to the bride or the groom," she says. "It's really important to identify yourself, so make sure you've prepared something."

Address Your Audience

As speaker and life strategy coach Mark Black, CSP , points out, focusing on yourself only enhances nerves. "Instead, concentrate on your audience and how you want them to feel. This will help you to speak from the heart, allowing your speech to do what it's supposed to do: Make the couple feel special while also engaging the audience."

Focus on a Few Points

Seasoned speaker Susan Bender Phelps, CEO of Odyssey Mentoring & Leadership , says her top guideline is to select one to three aspects of the newlyweds that you love and appreciate, along with no more than three short stories to illustrate each of these points (or that one point). "The simple, succinct story or stories where the bride and groom are the hero will work best." This is an excellent way to structure your speech and keep your message focused.

How Long Wedding Speeches Should Be

The ideal length for a speech is three to five minutes, with five minutes being the absolute maximum you should speak for. That's it. "Iā€™ve never been to a wedding where anyone said, 'That was a great wedding, but the best man speech was just too short and that  ruined  it,'" says David Litt , the speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and author of Thanks, Obama .

Carter agrees: "I always say anywhere between two and five minutesā€”and no more than five minutes," she says. "You want to keep things short and sweet." It's just as important to keep in mind when the speech will take place when determining length, since toasts are often timed with meal courses: "Be mindful of how long a course generally takes or how long it takes people to eat," Carter adds, noting that most courses last between 15 and 20 minutes and that several speeches have to fit inside each window. "If there are other people speaking, you want to be mindful and give them space."

Wedding Speech Tips

Now that you've established the right framework for your words, take note of these essential tips for acing the delivery from a few speaking pros.

Rehearse Regularly

The better prepared you are, the more confident you'll be and the better your speech will be, says author and professional speaker Barry Maher . A good rule of thumb is to practice the speech enough that you can remember the points you want to make and the order in which you want to make them. That way, you can look out to the crowd and make eye contact every so often.

Record Yourself Practicing

Use your phone to take a video of yourself practicing, suggests Kate Kenfield , speaker and sex educator. "It can be a little uncomfortable to watch yourself, but you'll be able to identify distracting mannerisms, such as the verbal pauses 'um,' 'uh,' and 'like'." It's also a good idea to practice your speech in front of someone else. "A second opinion can help you craft your piece and make it that much stronger," she says.

Don't forget body language! Rehearse the speech in front of a mirror and notice things like your facial expression, eye contact, and hand position.

Avoid Alcohol

Although it may be tempting to look for some liquid courage, alcohol definitely won't do you any favors, warns keynote speaker Amy Morin , author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do . "It may cause you to slur your speech and forget your lines, so wait until after your toast to celebrate," she advises. If you need a drink to loosen up the nerves or can't refrain from participating in a toast without being rude, stick to one glass of Champagne before you address the crowd.

Use Nerves to Your Advantage

A little nervousness can actually liven up your speech. "I get worried if I'm not a little nervous," says Maher. "I'll actually try to make myself a little tense to get my energy level up." The key is to harness that energy and communicate it in a positive, genuine way; tensing up to the point that you forget your words or panic won't make for a great presentation.

Be Yourself

Keep in mind that you're not putting on a show, only sharing your personal perspective. Trying too hard to force the funny can yield the opposite of the desired effect, cautions Matt Dalley, co-founder of Simply Eloped . "I've noticed that keeping it short and sweet, heartfelt and warm, and coming across as authentic and focused on the couple is something we are all capable of and generates some very wonderful moments," he says.

Never Embarrass the Newlyweds

It's a wedding toast, not a roast. While this should go without saying, keep the bachelor or bachelorette party jokes out of it, and remember that grandma and possibly a few colleagues are in the audience, notes Laurie Battaglia , a keynote speaker and workplace strategist. "It's okay to look back at childhood and refer to something funny, but ask yourself if you'd like 200-plus of your closest friends knowing that story about you."

Use Your Notes

Reading your speech straight from a piece of paper is a big no-no. However, having a couple of note cards handy is encouraged. "You're likely to be nervous, excited, and exhausted, which can make you forget your lines," explains Morin. "The audience won't care if you glance at your notes. In fact, there's a good chance they won't even notice."

Wedding Speech Brainstorm Ideas

Need some inspiration? Ask yourself these questions to get the brainstorming process going.

  • Who will speak before you? After you? How will this affect the content of your toast? (Perhaps you want to include a reference to their speech, thank them for an introduction, or introduce the next speaker).
  • Is there someone you should thank for making the event possible and inviting you to speak?
  • What would you want to hear in this speech if you were in the audience?
  • Is there a favorite story or memory that the couple would want you to share with their friends and family?

Wedding Speech Examples to Make Your Own

So, what does it look like when all these elements come together? Wedding vow and speechwriter Katelyn Peterson , owner and creator of Wedding Words , offered us three examples of successful toasts to inspire your own.

Maid of Honor Wedding Speech Example

"Hi, Iā€™m Maya, the brideā€™s older sister . With Lucy being three years younger, we fell right into our respective roles as sister-rivals growing up. We constantly fought over stolen clothes, monopolizing the phone back when landlines were a thing, and what boy band to blare from the car speakers. Iā€™m still Team Backstreet Boys while Lucy is forever indebted to NSYNC.

Looking back on those memories, I should have stepped up and granted Lucy permission to wear my favorite sweater for picture day, to hand her the phone once in a while, and to let her play, 'Bye Bye Bye.' Even I can admit thatā€™s a good one.Ā But despite Lucy being the younger sister, she has always been more patient, more accommodating, and more thoughtful than me.Ā And thatā€™s because when it comes to the people she loves, sheā€™s all in.

Sheā€™s the one to prioritize their desires. Sheā€™s the one to compromise first.Ā And, sheā€™s the one to support their dreams as if they were her own.Ā 

This is why it makes me so happy to know that Lucy has found a home in David. He matches her in compassion, thoughtfulness, and warmth. And I know heā€™ll spend his life prioritizing her desires, being ready to compromise, and supporting her dreams as his own.

Cheers to Lucy and David! May you always feel loved because you always put each other first."

Best Man Wedding Speech Example

"Hello, everyone. My name is Luke and Iā€™m the best man . I met Robert eight years ago when I became his neighbor. His reputation preceded him as I had heard about the 'Block Party King' before my closing papers were inked. 

Rob has never been the guy to wear fancy clothes. In fact, Iā€™m still in shock seeing him in that tux tonight. And heā€™s never been the guy to show off even though the work heā€™s put into his vintage Mustang could make Henry Ford himself envious.

But when it comes to cooking, he should receive an award. His pulled pork is a staple at our summer block parties and his homemade barbeque sauce has remained our neighborhoodā€™s best-kept secret.Ā But the most satisfying part about his delicious dishes is that thereā€™s always plenty to go around. And Rob makes sure your plate is never empty.Ā I have no idea how he pulls it off, but Rob has a covert ability to scoop seconds onto your plate without you ever seeing him do it. I hope you all came hungry tonight, folks. Youā€™ve been warned!Ā 

The first time I met Jasmine I could immediately tell she was an amazing person. She laughed at his jokes which I never thought anyone would get. She supported his career and the nonstop travel involved. But most importantly, whenever weā€™re all hanging out, Jasmine is the one always topping off Robā€™s plate with more pasta, more chicken, more of everything. When sheā€™s around, itā€™s never empty. 

And thatā€™s when I saw what a perfect match they were for each other. I know they will always put each other first, make sure their needs are met, and will never allow the other to go hungry.

So letā€™s raise our glasses to toast the newlyweds!Ā As you begin this next chapter together, may your plates and your hearts always remain full."

Father of the Bride Wedding Speech Example

"Good evening, family, and friends. Iā€™m Daniel Lee, the father of the bride. Iā€™d like to welcome you to this special occasion where we get to celebrate the love between my daughter Allison and her new wife, Kristin.Ā 

Standing up here today, Iā€™m reminded of all the moments that led to this significant one. The dance recitals that ended with standing ovations and the soccer games that concluded with winning scoreboards.Ā 

But, while those were fun and rewarding times, those arenā€™t the moments I cherish most with Allison. The memories that make me smile the brightest are those in-between the big stuff moments. Itā€™s the makeshift magic shows in our living room using a bedsheet that Allison confiscated from our linen closet to convert into a curtain. Itā€™s the countless tea parties she hosted with exclusive invitations just for me and her beloved stuffed bear, Buttons. And itā€™s the way sheā€™d beg to stay up for just five more minutes but was asleep on the couch by minute number two.

Those everyday, blink-and-youā€™ll-miss-them moments with Allison are the ones that gave color to my life and filled my heart with a happiness I never knew could exist.

So, my beautiful daughter, as you begin your life with Kristin today, I have one wish for you: May your warmest memories come from the ordinary moments throughout your marriage, and may those moments give you a reason to smile brighter every day.Ā Cheers! I love you both." ā€”Daniel

What Not to Say in a Wedding Speech

Your job when delivering a wedding speech is to keep things lightā€”tell an anecdote, make an emotional connection, then wish the couple well before you close out. Anything that doesn't feel definitively positive should be avoided. "I would advocate against bringing up negative details, specifically past relationships or past spouses," says Carter. "Skip anything that you wouldn't want to be physically recorded and played over and over againā€”this is a rule of thumb."

Keep it light, delicate, and present- and future-focused, Carter adds. "If you're going to go into the past, make those stories really intentional," she says. "Bring those stories back to who they are now. Your mission is to create a great environment and vibe and to potentially give some information about one of the newlyweds, so that it's enlightening for all guests."

What is a principal sponsor at a wedding?

by Beth Holmes

A principal sponsor at a wedding is someone who has the honor and responsibility of legally witnessing and signing the marriage certificate. They play a significant role in the wedding ceremony and are typically chosen from among the coupleā€™s closest and most respected friends or family members. The role of a principal sponsor is highly regarded and holds a special significance in many cultures, particularly in Filipino weddings where they are referred to as ā€œninongā€ (godfather) and ā€œninangā€ (godmother).

The choice of principal sponsors is a decision that couples often take very seriously, as they are seen as important figures in the coupleā€™s life. They are typically individuals whom the couple admires and looks up to, and who have played a significant role in their lives. These sponsors are usually older and more experienced, and their presence is meant to provide guidance and support to the newlyweds as they embark on their journey together.

In addition to being present during the wedding ceremony, principal sponsors are often involved in other aspects of the wedding planning process. They may offer financial assistance, provide advice on various wedding-related matters, and even help in organizing pre-wedding events such as the bridal shower or bachelor party. Their role goes beyond just being witnesses; they are there to offer their love, support, and guidance to the couple as they enter into marriage.

It is important to note that while principal sponsors hold a special place in the coupleā€™s wedding, they are not the only ones involved.

I would like to thank both sets of parents since neither (spouse's name) nor I would be here today if it weren't for them.

I must also thank my new in-laws for bringing up such a compassionate and intelligent son/daughter/child. And, to my husband/wife/partner, you look absolutely gorgeous.

I also want to thank the most wonderful parents a child could ever have. Not only for the love, support and guidance over the years, but also for everything you've done to help make this day perfect. We would have never managed without you both, and today would not have been possible or so special. Thank you to both sets of our parents from the bottom of our hearts.

Now it's time to thank my beautiful bridesmaids for everything they've done and for being the greatest friends ever. To my maid of honor, (maid of honor's name), you have been a lifesaver. You truly are the definition of a best friend and sister. Thank you for always being there for me.

Sticking with tradition, I'd like to leave the new couple with some words of advice as they enter into this next stage of their lives together. As a great philosopher once said, a man who gives in when he is wrong is a wise man. Whilst a man who gives in when he is right is married. All that remains is for me to ask that you all join me in a toast to the happy couple. May you both live as long as you like and have all that you need for as long as you live. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you (bride and groom's names).

When (bride's name) asked me to be her maid of honor, I started wondering where the custom of having a bridesmaid originated from. My research led me to the interesting origins of many of our wedding customs, and everything is done to protect the bride from misfortune on her wedding day.

In the old days, sometimes marriage was by capture, and a maiden was guarded by her family to prevent seizure. The bridesmaids would often act as decoys by wearing dresses similar to the bride's to confuse the kidnappers and to keep evil spirits away. Today, I have done my best to keep the evil spirits away, but at least the family wasn't a problem!

Both of you have found your other half. Thank you (bride's name) for being such a wonderful best friend. I'm glad you have found (spouse's name), and I know that he/she/they will always love you.

Godfather of the bride wedding speech ā€“ How to write a sponsor to bride wedding speech?

There are a lot of points where youā€™re going to be asked to write a speech and even speak in front of a crowd. One of the most basic of things you may be asked to do is to speak in front of an audience at a wedding. If youā€™re the godfather of a bride, youā€™re going to be asked to say something, even if itā€™s a little more than a toast. If that scares you, or you simply donā€™t know what to say, donā€™t worry. Do not panic. Just breathe, and calmly understand that you can do this. Not only that, you are going to get help. The following tips and tricks will help you learn how to write a sponsor to bride wedding speech.

Tell People Who You Are

Not everyone in the audience is going to know who you are. Tell them who you are and why youā€™re there speaking. You should talk about how you know the bridge, the family, and that you know of the groom as well. Tell people what your experience is like with love and how youā€™re married or not, etc. You should also thank the parents and bridge and groom for the opportunity to be a part of their lives etc.

Talk About The Responsibility of Godfather

The next thing that you should do is talk about how you came to be godfather of the bride. Also, talk about how special the bride is, and how you have seen her mature into a good woman. Talk about a story where you were with the bride and you had a good time, and saw that special spark in her and her family. You should be courteous and even show a little emotion about how grand your life is for knowing the bride and the family. You can even tell a story of love and honor about your own life, or go with the Holy Bible if youā€™re a believer. Either way, you will want to talk about being a godfather and how special it is to be a part of the family in this capacity.

Wish The Future Well

As you go along with your speech, make sure that you wish the bride and groom a happy marriage. Be nice about the future, and talk about how love will carry them through the future. You should talk about how marriage is work, but with love, anything is possible and that the two are going to be great together and you already know it.

Close With A Toast

As you close, you should look to give a toast. If you are not giving your speech during the reception or where you are going to toast, then you can always toast yourself. Just bring up the glass and say something like, ā€œwith all that said, I like to toast the bride and groomā€, and then raise your glass and thatā€™s it. The goal is to make them feel special, and you can do so with the tips mentioned above.

There's no better way to break the ice than with a lighthearted joke to get the crowd warmed up. You don't have to be a standup comedian to think of a groundbreaking joke either. Instead, steal a line from this maid of honor speech , which starts off with an apology (and a hair flip) for the guests who don't have the privilege of knowing the speaker personally. She then pretends to give a roast instead of a toast, further solidifying this as one of our favorite wedding speech ideas.

@yourstorytold.co someone get her a Netflix special #weddingtiktok #singleaf #weddingfails #maidofhonorspeech #livingthedream #funnywomen #funnywomenoftiktok ā™¬ You Need To Calm Down - Taylor Swift

Read any wedding speech writing guide and you'll probably be encouraged to share a few words of wisdom with the newlyweds. But, if you aren't married yourself or you don't feel like an expert on all things love, you aren't out of luck. Take a cue from this maid of honor, who candidly (and hilariously) jokes about being single at the wedding.

Find all the vendors you need

Take a "humble" approach.

Not sure what to write for your wedding speech? We love this best man's approach, who gives himself a pat on the back for introducing the happy couple. After all, no one would be at the wedding without him, so it's only fair that he gets a round of applause too.

Plan a Surprise Flash Mob

The fun doesn't have to stop when your speech ends. If you're looking for speech examples that'll really wow the crowd, enlist the help of your fellow bridesmaids and groomsmen to surprise the couple with a flash mob at the wedding reception. This is particularly appropriate for those looking for fun ideas instead of wedding speechesā€”if public speaking makes you nervous, keep the talking to a minimum and let the flash mob take over.

Share a Cheeky Pun

@emerald_media Best opening line ever šŸ¤£ #lesbianwedding #lesbiansoftiktok #lesbiancouple #weddingmoments #funnyweddingspeech #gaypride #fyp ā™¬ original sound - emeraldmediaservices

We're obsessed with this sweet wedding officiant speech idea. Making a cheeky joke at the start of the ceremony sets the tone for the rest of the event, but it also allows the couple to relax and shed any last-minute nerves before they say their wedding vows.

You've probably seen your fair share of customized wedding speech songs, but this one takes the cake. If your best friend is a major Taylor Swift fan, take one of her classic love songs and re-write the words yourself. We have a feeling this would bring any Swiftie to tears.

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane

The father of the bride speech is notorious for being emotional and heartfelt. If you're a parent planning a speech for your child, take a cue from this dad, who reminisces on the first time he saw his daughter interacting with her future husband at a high school basketball game.

Speak From the Heart

@daniel_k._films You have about 5 seconds to grab a box of tissuesā€¦ #weddingtiktok #wedding #speech #fypć‚· #maidofhonor ā™¬ original sound - Daniel_K._Films

The wedding speech is supposed to be thoughtfully writtenā€”and while some wedding party members will want to crack jokes and lighten the mood, others might want to write something serious and touching. You'll need a box of tissues to watch this emotional maid of honor speech.

You don't have to be the only person who speaks during your toast. If there's a loved one who's unable to attend the wedding, coordinate a surprise video message ahead of time so they can also share a few special words with the couple from afar.

Tastefully Roast Your Friend

If you know the newlyweds have a great sense of humor, don't be afraid to weave in a few lighthearted jokes. Take a cue from this best man's speech, where the speaker invites the groom to put his hand over his wife's, signifying the last time he'll have the "upper hand" in their marriage.

If you're the maid of honor, you've probably been friends with the bride for a long time. And, as a result, you've likely seen the progression of the couple's relationship from the start. For a unique wedding speech idea for your best friend, consider speaking directly to their spouse. Talk about how it feels to see them grow together, and share what it's like to watch your friend be loved so genuinely. This creative tactic is a unique way to honor their relationship in front of loved ones.

As the maid of honor or the best man, you've probably been thinking about your toast long before the wedding day. We recommend digging back into the early memories of your friendship, as this maid of honor did, to share personal anecdotes and memories that illustrate your close relationship with the couple.

How to Ask Someone to Be Your Principal Sponsor

[email protected]

' src=

In a previous article, we answered all of the FAQS regarding principal sponsors. We discussed how many principal sponsors are needed in a wedding , who to choose as your principal sponsors, the roles of principal sponsors, and many others.

But hereā€™s the catch! We actually left out one of the most commonly asked questions: How to ask someone to be your principal sponsor?

When youā€™re on the fence on how to ask people to be principal sponsors for your wedding, youā€™ve probably gone to multiple forums and wedding boards, only to end up empty-handed.Ā  Well, itā€™s a bit of a complex question, and weā€™re glad you ended up here. Weā€™ll ease your worries and guide you on the journey of properly asking your ninangs and ninongs to be part of your wedding day.

How to ask someone to be your principal sponsor

Hereā€™s how to ask people to be principal sponsors for your wedding:

  • Step 1: Have a list of prospects

First things first, decide on who you want to include in your list of principal sponsors. Usually, couples choose people who they look up to and admire. This is because one of the responsibilities of a principal sponsor is being available when you need advice, guidance, or any form of help about married life.

As marriage will have different facets, it’s good to have a variety of people you can run to. For instance, you can choose a ninong because you admire his business acumen, or you can choose a ninang because you admire how she practices her faith or even a couple whose marriage you want to learn from.

Donā€™t just pick someone because your parents said so, like a family friend you havenā€™t spoken to in years or a famous politician youā€™ve never even met. Pick the people you want guidance from as you and your partner start a new chapter in your lives.

  • Option #1: Meet up with them

In this day and age of smartphones, it might be tempting to just call or text the people you’re eyeing to be your principal sponsors. However, this isn’t the proper way on how to ask principal sponsors for your wedding.

While an initial heads up via text or Messenger is good (sometimes even necessary), it’s still best to schedule a formal meeting to officially ask them to be a principal sponsor for your wedding. Some couples even head over to the houses of their soon-to-be godparents and bring food or treat them to brunch.

This simple action will foster a strong sense of connection between you and your prospective sponsors. It will also make them feel special that you exerted the effort to reach out. You can even have a nice chat with your future godparents about wedding budget management, marriage practices, and raising children. You’ll be surprised that a simple chat can go a long way, and it’s always great to hear from people who’ve gone through the things you’re looking forward to in married life.

  • Option #2: Send a “Will you be my principal sponsor?ā€ card

When thinking on how to ask someone to be your principal sponsor, sending a “Will you be our principal sponsor?” card along with their actual wedding invites is the trend these days. Depending on the designs you want, wedding invites suppliers can do this but with a minimal fee. If you’re the creative type and on a limited budget, you can definitely DIY your will you be my principal sponsor invitation.

Donā€™t know what to include in your ā€œWill you be my principal sponsor?ā€ card? You can go with something like this:

Engr. Juan de la Cruz

To stand as a witness of our love

To guide us in our married life

To give us wise counsel

Will you do us the honor of becoming our Principal Sponsor?

Maria and Jose

Manila Cathedral

Of course, this is just a very basic example! You can change the format and wording however you wish. The important elements to include are the name of your principal sponsor, a short explanatory invite, you and your partnerā€™s names, the date of your wedding, and the venue.

  • Option #3: Invite them on social media

This is quite informal and we don’t really recommend this unless the person is based overseas or lives far away. You can either chat them on Messenger, invite them through a private Facebook event page, video call them on Skype, or send an email with all the necessary details. Just be sure that when you do it, you’re formal, polite, and most of all, sincere.

  • Step 3: Brief them before your wedding

Did they say yes? Thatā€™s great!

After youā€™ve received their sweet confirmation, don’t forget to send them a text message a few days or even a week before the wedding. Message them a short summary that includes the date, venue, and call time of your wedding. You can also give them the number of your coordination team if you have one. This a great way to stay organized and on top of things.

You can also send your principal sponsors a personal message saying how excited you are to see them. And on the big day itself, make sure they receive extra special treatment once they arrive by assigning someone to welcome and brief them.

Creative ways on how to invite principal sponsors in your wedding

Want to go beyond a simple ā€œWill you be our principal sponsor?ā€ invitation card?

Youā€™re in luck as we have a few ideas up our sleeves.

Philippine Pre-Cana Seminars: What You Need to Know

Toast to it.

Planning to head over to their house? Pop the question with some wine or champagne! Not only do you get to sip on some delicious wine, but the conversation will also flow easily between you and your godparents.

If you canā€™t fit a visit into your busy schedule, you can also send your ninongs and ninangs some miniature bottles of wine along with the wedding invites. Manila Wine has an extensive range of miniature wine and liquor to suit different tastes.

Principal sponsors are usually excited to be part of the wedding entourage. You can let them show off their role with customized enamel pins that say “Ninong” or “Ninang.” You can actually include the enamel pins along with your will-you-be-my-principal-sponsor card!

To help you out, there are plenty of local custom enamel pin makers such as Artigifts.

A box of goodies

Alongside your invitation, a great way on how to ask someone to be your principal sponsor is by gifting them with a box of goodies that they can use on your wedding day. For your ninangs, you can include a hand cream, a handkerchief, and an abaniko. For your ninongs, you can include cufflinks, socks, and a shaving kit.

With contents like that, theyā€™d be hard-pressed to say no and theyā€™ll look forward to your special day.

A travel kit

Planning on having a destination wedding? Get your principal sponsors pumped up with personalized travel kits and accessories that they can use during the trip. It will let them know that you want their travel and participation in your wedding to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. They can also reuse the travel kits in the future, which will also remind them of the fun they had during your wedding.

Ash & Muff has personalized travel kits that come in various colors to suit your wedding’s motif. Each kit contains a shoe bag, a laundry bag, and a bag tag. You can customize each set with frames, fonts, and border designs. Trunk Show Online also has a wide range of travel organizers that you can personalize with your godparents’ names. Each name personalization comes with a fee of only Php30.

Entice their sweet tooth

Here’s a unique, fun, and delicious way on how to ask someone to be your principal sponsor: order customized cookies that ask the question for you. You can design the cookies however you want and order from bakeries such as Sweet Success and Cottontail Cake Studio , who are masters in customized sugar cookies.

If youā€™re a pretty good baker, you can even make them yourself! After all, homemade cookies baked with love hit differently. If some of your principal sponsors have dietary restrictions, make sure to bake sugarfree or vegan cookies!

Asking people to be part of your principal sponsors can be nerve-wracking. It can even feel like you’re proposing several times over. There will be butterflies in your stomach and a nagging fear that some of them will say no.

But in truth, many people feel honored if theyā€™re chosen to be principal sponsors, especially if theyā€™re people youā€™re close with. Thatā€™s why you shouldnā€™t worry so much about how to ask someone to be your principal sponsor. As long as youā€™re sincere and their schedule is free on your wedding day, they will surely say yes.

Of course, at the end of the wedding, you shouldnā€™t forget to thank them with special tokens for sponsors . Theyā€™ve made time and put in the effort to be with you on your special day, and theyā€™ll be there with you throughout your married life. Itā€™s only right to show them your gratitude.

Good luck with your invites! If youā€™ve got any more questions for us, share your thoughts in the comment section below.

What Is a Wedding Speech?

A wedding speech is a formal address that is delivered by an individual at a wedding reception that mainly talks about the newly-wed couples of the occasion.Ā Wedding speeches either bring cheers or tears to an audience, depending on what it’s intended to do. They’re meaningful pieces that carry so much emotion in every word. They’re meant to be personal and intimate in meaning. However, not everyone is a pro in delivering a good speech.

How to Write a Wedding Speech

Step 1:Ā let the crowd know you.

The very first step to making a wedding speech is to let the crowd get to know you as well. However, do not focus on yourself on your speech, just make a simple introduction of yourself and move on. The target of the wedding speech is about the married couple and not yourself.

Step 2:Ā Plan in Advance

Though it’s not your wedding, planning your own speech in advance is not just sweet but also practically smart. Planning ahead would provide you more time to think and help you craft a smooth flow for your speech. Think of it in a way that you are doing anĀ  event planning Ā of your own.

Step 3:Ā Give Thanks to Everyone

Make a short welcome speech and thank you speech at the same time. Giving thanks to everyone for coming to the event is a sure fire way to show your appreciation for every single person at the event. However, just like the previous steps, make sure that your speech is targeted at the couple as well.

Step 4:Ā Practice Your Speech

Before your time to make a speech, prepare in advance by practicing what you wrote. This is to solidify that you are well prepared and you do not make any or obvious mistakes while delivering your speech to the crowd. The last thing you want to do is to make it obvious that you are not ready.

What are otherĀ examples of speeches?

There are a lot of types of speeches that are used for a variety of reasons or could also be used for a specific event or reason. Persuasive speech ,Ā  welcome speech , thank you speech , award acceptance speech , wedding speech, sports award speech , self introduction speech , motivational speech , special occasion speech , andĀ  advocacy campaign speech Ā just to name a few examples.

Why is it important to make a wedding speech?

The main purpose of a wedding speech is to acknowledge, welcome, thank, and encourage the couple and the crowd during the event. You are welcoming the crowd, acknowledging them for attending, thanking them as well as congratulating the couple for their new journey that they help celebrate with you and everyone present.

How lengthy can a wedding speech be?

The length of a typical wedding speech should not exceed over five minutes. Wedding speeches are made to be short and descriptive. Thanking the couple and encouraging them on their new lives together.

Wedding planning can sometimes be a task in itself. As you have to plan for every single detail and to hope it does not go haywire at the very end. Wedding planning includes a very good wedding speech that would wow the crowd, make them teary eyed at the end, or to simply present a simple speech with a heartwarming message to the happy couple.
