Birthday Speech Introductions

Video Transcript

Hey, Tracy Goodwin and we are talking about how to give a birthday speech, and how to write it as well. The first thing I am just kind of going to give you a little bit of an introduction about some things you have to have in your birthday speech. Now, first of all we are talking about giving a speech for someone else's birthday. And the thing that you need to remember, and this kind of a good thing, you don't have to talk for very long. Birthday speeches are generally pretty short. The first thing that you always want to do on a birthday speech, is thank, whomever, for inviting you to the party. Whether it is the birthday recipient or the party planners, whoever it is. Give them a big shout out for inviting you, as well as for asking you to give one of, or the birthday speech. You want to definitely do that right up front. Also, immediately give a big congratulations to the birthday girl or guy, all right, I mean it is their party. And then, the best thing to do is talk about briefly a nice or an emotional funny moment that has happened at the party up till now. Like, "Gosh Janet, the look on your face when we all shouted surprise was absolutely priceless." Or, "the best thing about this so far is when Bob got the cake thrown at him", or whatever it is. You usually get a chuckle out of the audience. But those are the first things that you want to have for a great birthday speech.
