Traditionally, the father of the bride speech is first, followed by the groom’s father, the groom and then the best man speech. Messages or telegrams are also read out by the groomsmen and best man.
These days, however, tradition is not always followed. Often, both parents of the bride and groom, the bride herself and the maid of honor will also give a speech. So really, anything goes.
It’s a good idea if an experienced public speaker delivers the first speech, to settle the guests, handle any loud guests and set the mood for the following speeches.
Wedding speeches examples provide further advice in these areas.
