This is part of the Complete Ceremony Words Pack · $47

Everything else you have to say

Your vows are one of three or four moments where people go quiet and look at you. This pack handles the rest — the thank-you speech, the short toast, and the day-of logistics that keep it all calm.

Thank-You Speech builder

Two minutes, six moves. Fill each box and you have a speech.

One warm sentence to the room.

Names matter. Say them slowly.

Keep it brief and warm.

"Please eat, please dance…"

Short Toast / Welcome builder

Thirty seconds. Three sentences.

Short enough to shout.

Day-of checklists

The week before

  • Print vows on a small card (and a spare)
  • Practise out loud five times, standing
  • Confirm speaking order with your officiant
  • Send toast timing to whoever runs the room

The morning of

  • Vow card in a pocket or with a named person
  • Water somewhere you can reach it
  • Tissues with someone in the front row
  • Tell the photographer when you'll speak

Right before you speak

  • Breathe out, not in
  • Find your partner's eyes before the first word
  • Slow down by a third
  • It's fine to stop and start the sentence again
