886306_i_love_wine.jpgThe responsibility of speaking in front of others on a microphone gives jitters to people. Especially if you have to makes a toast at the wedding party. Even though the person concerned just need to say a few words. They are scared of speaking in public. If you have a wedding coming up in your house and you know most of the people in the party will like to speak in public then you can have a toast activity as the wedding activities. Make it traditional with the Dad, Best man, and others doing public speaking.
But if you feel people will not be ready to take on the microphone you can do lots of other fun activities which are listed below.
You do not need to make a toast at the wedding reception; it is not at all necessary to do that. The wedding should be unique and the bride and the groom should feel comfortable.
To the people who do not want to talk in public can toast in front of the camera and later on the video can be presented to the couple. This is not a very original idea, but it serves the purpose of people wanting to say something special to the couple.
If the crowd at the wedding is the friendly types then you ca pass the microphone around and ask the people to speak about the couple. This can work either way, like a serious toast or the fun kind where every just speaks for the fun of it. Most people enjoy the silly games and you can add fun to these games. In this if the first speakers name ends with T then he will need to find the person whose first name starts with T and pass on the microphone to the other person. This method works as people when hearing others toast they will want to add something to the toast.
You can ask one person from each table to give a toast to the couple. This way one person, from each table would like to speak and toast the couple. The others can enjoy or give their inputs. You feel there are many people who would like to speak, but you fear they will speak something which you do not want them to speak about. You can ask the best man or maid of honor to give the topic to the person who asks for the microphone. Which has already been kept in the bowl? The speaker can choose the topic from the list or pull a paper which has been pre written.
Or the speaker would like to finish the sentences which have been written on the sheet of paper which the speaker has chosen. Here you can get something interesting and silly. But will help the couple in keeping their most silly moments secret.
