When coming up with a speech for wedding, the first thing most people think to do is try to add some humor to it to keep the wedding guests attentive and make it enjoyable.

While funny wedding speeches can hold people's attention more than an overly sappy wedding speech, people should know when to draw the line with the humor. Remember, you are at a wedding reception, not performing at stand-up comedy night at a club, so try not to be vulgar with your humor or cross any lines that could end up upsetting or offending anybody - especially take care not to offend the bride or groom! So, if you are telling jokes, don't be obnoxious about it.

Jokes are not the only things you can do to add humor to a wedding speech. If you have some songwriting and singing talent, coming up with a hilarious song for the occasion and performing it at the reception can be a lot more meaningful to the bride & groom than giving an ordinary speech. Your song can have some catchy lyrics that'll have the other wedding guests singing along with you. It definitely makes for a memorable experience if you can get the audience involved, either singing along or clapping to the beat of your funny wedding song.

Of course, not everybody is a comedian or blessed with musical talent. If your speech for wedding is a bit too traditional and needs a boost of humor, you can always tell a funny story involving the bride, the groom, or possibly even both of them. If you don't have any of your own stories to tell, you can always do some research and find one that is relevant for the occasion, especially if it has a great moral that can be given as advice to the bride & groom.

Those are some suggestions of how to add humor to a wedding speech. Just because you added some funny stuff to your speech doesn't mean everyone will understand your humor - it's all in the delivery of it, so be sure to practice your speech often!
