Whether you are having a small or large gathering it is essential you target the speech to your audience. You should have a welcome or introduction where you take the opportunity to thanks everyone for coming to your social event, whether it be a wedding or other special occasion, or even just a lunch, brunch, breakfast or dinner.
Your speech should be constructed in such a way that it is well thought out and concise. Maybe even throw in a few jokes here and there for good measure. You should let your speech or welcome piece be no longer than around ten minutes as you want to capture people's attention in order to kick the thing off.
You can welcome everyone to the reunion and thank them for coming. Mention which different families (or family lines) are present as well as giving a general outline of the day's (or weekend's) events to take place. It is also essential that you thank the people who helped put the reunion together. Why not add in some inspirational thoughts for people to take into account.
You can discuss some of the times you have shared with your friends over the years and how you have supported. You could talk about how you will be eternally grateful for all the things and experiences you have been through together. This will make your speech all the more significant because people will relate to the sentiments and feelings.
