Creating Wedding
Speechs using Mind
Mapping
The basic
idea when you are mind
mapping is that instead
of writing out your
speech in its entirety,
you draw it in pictures.
This naturally means that
a mind map is just a
sample of your speech,
only in pictures or half
sentences.
Here's a
quick overview of how to
create a Mind Map:
-
Start your
mind map by using a blank
piece of paper and a set of
colored pencils or markers.
-
Draw your
speech topic in the middle
of the paper.
-
Draw lines
like branches coming out of
it - one for the
introduction, one for the
conclusion, and one for
each main point in your
speech.
-
Identify
each line with a symbol or
other picture that will
help you to easily identify
the point. If you can't
think of a picture, label
the line with a word.
-
If you have
many different sub-points
to make, draw other lines
branching out from your
main points and repeat the
process.
Here is a
sample mind map that can
be used for speeches. You
don’t have to understand
it to get the idea of
what I mean. As the
diagram shows, each idea
should be placed in a
separate bubble all its
own. It can be filled
with pictures or whatever
you need to use that will
help you recall it later.
The mind
mapping technique is also
good to use when you are
trying to remember family
and friends names etc.
This structured format
for brainstorming can be
used for anything. As
long as your speech topic
or main theme is in the
center, you can’t go
wrong with this
technique. See how easy
it
is?

When it
comes to the actual
structure of your speech,
here are some more tips
to add that will truly
let your speech be your
own.
1. Take
your time.
You don’t
have to rush through your
speech. Think about what you
want people to know about your
friend and his new wife, and
what you wish for their
future.
2. Let
your guard down.
Don’t be
afraid to let your emotions
show. This is one of your good
friends, if not your best
friend, its ok to cry or let
out your real feelings. This is
one time when it is not only
accepted but
expected.
3. Be
yourself.
If you are
a reserved person, trying to
write a witty speech will not
only make reciting it more
difficult but it will also
sound fake. You can’t be
sincere if you are not being
yourself.
