Being organized for your groom’s wedding speech is pretty essential for success, unless you are one of the rare few who can wing it.

You want to get your information/facts collected, at the very latest, the night before.

Tip #2 – Try Not to Drink Alcohol Until…

• Fact – alcohol affects your judgment.
• Fact – alcohol can make you slur your speech.
• Fact – alcohol can cause you say things that you may not want to say.

If you must drink, do yourself a favor and wait until after your speech is done.  If you must imbibe (say for adhoc toasts), do so very sparingly.

Tip #3 – Make Sure to Get a Least 8 Hours of Sleep

This is going to be a tough one, especially if your groomsmen have scheduled a fun bachelor party.  However, trying to give this very important speech while sleepy can be tough.  You don’t want to yawn in the middle of it, if you know what I mean.  If you are the least bit skiddish about speaking in front of others, you are going to need to be well-rested to help calm your nerves.
