Tip #1 – Get Organized

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.
