Keep or Cancel: Reception Speeches?

Keep. Hands down. It's both moving and entertaining to hear what your special guests have to say on your big day!

Keep, though my MOH is doing a video montage as she hates public speaking, and not totally sure our best man should have free reign lol

Keep, but we are just doing MOH and Best Man, not father as we are paying for it and the hosts.

I do like putting aside time for speeches. It gives everyone a chance to speak and get to know one another

Keep. Love them. You never know what you're gonna get.

Very neutral about this one, theres a possibility my dad would have a speech like he share some words at my sisters wedding, but nothing plan

Totally up to them, but I hope for "keep"

Cancel (some). I was hoping to move ours to having them done at the rehearsal dinner but I got Vetoed. My father isnt much of a public speaker so he wont be speaking, itll just be pur MOH and BM. I wanted to move them so people didnt have to be bored at their tables listening to stories and they could just party and enjoy the night.

We are fining one family member and one wedding party member each a chance to toast. We only have one person we are concerned and it’s really not that much concern.

Keep. I think it’s nice hearing what the best man and maid of honor wrote.

Not happening, I'm an introvert but when you get to know me I'm weird, I don't need everyone knowing me the way my best friends know me. That and I don't sit well so I would be bored before the first speech ended.

Keep I like the speeches.

Keep, although I told my matron and maid of honor that if either one didn’t want to make a toast, they didn’t have to. They both want to. To lessen the pressure I did specify it’s a toast, not a speech.

Undecided. I'm not sure. If I do have them I want them short and sweet. Using a slide show with music. Then a few words at the end that's all.

No speeches if you are there then we know you care.

My sister is going to be my maid of honor and is willing to write a speech and honestly, I think that being embarrassed from a speech a family member makes isn't something to think badly about. If my sister wants to write a speech, then she can make a speech.

I want to keep this part.

Keep, It should be interesting to hear what others have to say about us, to us and our guests.

Only two speeches at the reception.

Keep! I love hearing the speeches, both the funny stories and the deep emotional ones. Although I say this not having heard any super cringy toasts, so theres that
