What determines how funny this will be is what you will say next after this. For instance, let’s look at this conversation:

- O: I don’t know if I can.
- M: Picture it – you, a mic, and a room full of people laughing and clapping – everything you love happening at the same time.
- O: Well, if you put it like that, sure why not?

Two ingredients to giving the perfect speech at a wedding are charm and wit. You’d want to get the people laughing and keep them charmed all through the event.
If you know someone who has the two and you’d love them to speak at your wedding, then this statement can guide you.
- ‘We’re putting together the dream team for wedding speeches, and you’re our top pick!’

- ‘Fancy joining our ranks of legendary speech-givers? I promise there’s no audition – just bring your charm and wit.’
3. What do you say to be the official Chief Laughter Officer with a speech that’ll have everyone in stitches?
A good speech should contain beautiful memories and humor that will make the wedding guests have a great laugh.

- ‘So, I was thinking – who better to turn our wedding into a laugh fest than you?’
- ‘What are you saying?’
- ‘What do you say to be the official Chief Laughter Officer with a speech that’ll have everyone in stitches?’

4. We’re inviting you to take center stage at our wedding and deliver a speech that’ll be talked about for generations. How can you resist?
For some people, it’s not just a wedding but a legacy, a story to be told for generations.
And I know some people who will want to be a part of creating that legacy. If you do, then this is the right question to use in asking to take center stage and create that legacy with you.
- ‘Drum roll, please!’
- ‘What’s going on?’
- ‘We’re inviting you to take center stage at our wedding and deliver a speech that’ll be talked about for generations.’
- ‘Really?’
- ‘It’s like being part of a real-life rom-com. How can you resist?’
5. What if you could be the star of our wedding for a few glorious minutes?
Most people have star potential, but never the opportunity to prove that they could be a star.
If you have a friend or a relative that you think would give a great speech at your wedding, you could give them the platform and allow them to shine.
- ‘Here’s a thought, —’
- ‘What’re you thinking?’
- ‘What if you could be the star of our wedding for a few glorious minutes?’

Aside from laughter, what other things can make a wedding speech perfect? I can think of beautiful memories that will bring tears and make the couple remember good times.
It could be a challenge because you don’t know the kind of audience that’ll be at the wedding – whether they’ll be responsive or not.
- ‘Quick ask – Are you up for a challenge that involves laughter, maybe a few tears, and guaranteed good times?’
- ‘What are you asking?’
- ‘How about delivering a speech at our wedding?’
8. How about showcasing your comedic brilliance with a speech at our wedding?
Some people are considered comedic because people tend to find anything they do funny – from their facial expressions to what they say and how they act.
A wedding reception will be the perfect platform for them to showcase their comedic brilliance with a wedding speech.
- ‘Ever considered a career in wedding stand-up?’
- ‘Not really.’
- ‘How about showcasing your comedic brilliance with a speech at our wedding?’
9. What will be your response if I ask you to be the mastermind behind the mic at our wedding?
The mastermind in a wedding reception is capable of so many things aside from making the guests laugh.
He/she can make them shed tears with beautiful memories, wear them out with engaging games and interactive speeches, and also raise money for the couple.
- ‘We’re assembling a speech dream team, and you’re at the top of our list!’
- ‘I’m honored.’

10. We’re on a hunt for someone to steal the show with a fantastic speech at our wedding. Fancy being the VIP of our wedding?
When planning events like a wedding, you’ll realize that inevitable situations can arise.
For instance, if the person whom you know would give a great wedding speech cancels at the last minute because of circumstances beyond his/her control, you’ll have to look for someone else.
That is to say, you’ll go on a hunt for the right person to give a show-stopping wedding speech.

- ‘What’s the catch?’
- ‘We’re on the hunt for someone to steal the show with a fantastic speech. Fancy being the VIP of our wedding?’
11. How about stepping into the spotlight at our wedding and sharing some hilarious stories and heartfelt wishes?
Now this question is mainly used to ask a person who knows you well to give a speech at your wedding.
This is because stories come from memories, and memories are made with loved ones. Besides if you’ll be getting heartfelt wishes, you would want the genuine one after all.
- ‘Ready for your 15 minutes of fame?’
- ’15 minutes of fame?’
- ‘Yeah, how about stepping into the spotlight at our wedding and sharing some hilarious stories and heartfelt wishes? It’s like an open mic night but with cake.’
12. How about shaking things up with a speech that will make everyone wish they had invited you to their weddings too?
Some people are so good at what they do, that when they are done they would have others wishing they could do the same thing.
Look for someone who would shake things up so well that people would request his/her contact from you after the wedding.
- ‘Our wedding is missing something crucial.’
- ‘What is it?’
- ‘Your sparkling personality and killer sense of humor! How about shaking things up with a speech that will make everyone wish they had invited you to their weddings too?’

So, look for someone who will do the latter and not the former.
