Planning a birthday party for your best friend? I’m sure you have everything set. The DJ is booked, the fanciest cake has been ordered, the entertainment for the evening is waiting outside the door and the camera man is cleaning his lens. However, there is something that has skipped your mind… don’t worry! Let us tell you how, you can spontaneously add some more cheer to the party you are planning. Putting together, a birthday speech is simple…all you have to pay attention to is a few guidelines:
• Past…Present and Future
This is where your task is cut out. You’ve known the person you are writing the speech for, forever, and therefore you have a plethora of references. Compile a list that consolidates his past achievements, failures, and showcase them in a humorous light. Lift embarrassing moments from school or college, talk about how he was always late or never returned a call. How he kept up with embarrassing trends that never really looked good on him. Twist reality a little bit, talk about his present employment, shampoo, perfume, the last movie you saw together and how he couldn’t stop crying. Make big plans for his future, glorify him to the point of no return, It’s his birthday, put him in the spotlight!
• Guests at the party
You are playing host, it’s your responsibility to ensure that everyone present at the party has a nice time, is made to feel special. So prior to the party, get your hands on a guest list, cook up a speech that involves everyone. If you have time on your hands you could do it a couple of days in advance via phone or e-mail, take suggestions from guests, add in experiences or anecdotes they might want to share. If you don’t have the time, but do have the gift of the gab, armed with a sheet of paper and pen, do your rounds at the party…soak in some juicy details from those present and conduct a speech that has the ingredients of a memorable evening.
• Passing the words
This one’s really easy. It does not require any preparation before hand, involves everyone present, and can get very exciting. As host, all you have to do is garner every one’s attention. And, get ready to play the speeches building game…
Every guest is requested to share a word they associate with the birthday boy/ girl. As the collection of words goes on, one person is keeping track of the words. These words are then put together into sentences to make sense. Guests are urged to make the speech funny. There you go! A few end minute tips to make your birthday party memorable. Birthday Speeches are special. They are a window of expression, a medium which allows you to express your love, gratitude and respect. So, clink those glasses, get ready to make the best toast!
Now that we’ve encouraged you to get over stage fright, Birthday Speeches sounds like a great idea, with the best Birthday Sayings you can make it an evening to remember.
