Speeches for Parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary

We all respect our parents and love them from the depth of our hearts. When they have been together for the last fifty years it is a just cause for celebration. Nowadays when marriages are crumbling it is of utmost importance to bring long standing happy couples to the fore. These will serve as examples to younger couples who will get inspiration to emulate them and work towards making their own a success in every way. Now it is your parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and you need to arrange a party, call close family and friends for a lovely and satisfying time together.

Speeches are a norm on these occasions. Everybody who is a family friend and close relations, give voice to how they feel regarding the couple who have been together through thick and thin all these years. If you are called upon to give your statements it is imperative that you deliver an emotional yet clear speech. The guests of honor as well as the listeners will be touched when whatever you have been saying is done from the depth of your heart. Every word that you deliver should be based on truth with no unnecessary exaggeration. Your sincerity should be there for all to see.

Then only the speech that you deliver will have the intended impact on your listeners. Do not get carried away by what you feel on this day. Everybody understands that you are close to your parents. So, keep it muted and humorous at the same time. A delivery which makes the audience laugh and keeps them engaged throughout is the most successful one. Also remember that the spotlight should always be on the guest of honor and not on you. Every incident which you refer to or describe should through a light on the personality of the people who are your parents.

For a speech to be successful, it is imperative that you come prepared. Do not go for impromptu deliveries, these mostly miss the mark and fall flat. This is too important an occasion to take in a light manner. Talk with people who have known your parents even before the time of you birth. They can shed light on many little known facts about your father and mother. Grandparents and your parents themselves can be quite helpful if you request them right. However it is necessary that you take their permission for using the information in your speech which they are divulging in good faith.
