When it comes to a family reunion, most people will be too busy trying to make sure that the peace is kept without worrying about a speech to write on top of that. But you shouldn't worry too much about it. These are the people you should feel most comfortable around and you will have a lot of moments and memories that you can call on to share and laugh at.
The best people you can go to for ideas on what to say in a family reunion speech are the older members of your family such as your grandparents and great grandparents if they are around. Don't be afraid to call on the smaller family members to gain more information about illusive members.
You should start your speech by thanking everyone in your family who turned up to the reunion and if there is a person amongst the crowd who deserves a special mention then make sure that you acknowledge them.
Make sure that everyone member of your family is included, no matter how old or young, so that they are all made to feel like part of the family. Dedicate at least a line to each person just in case you have a large family.
Injecting humour into your speech so be generous on what you include but not to the point that it gets sarcastic, offensive or insulting in anyway.
To spice up your speech or include a little love you could pick out the oldest couple in the room and the youngest to emphasise their love. You can chat about what a great couple and how they first met and fell in love. Everyone loves something like that.
Try to include significant events in your speech, or any recent news about members of the family for example, has someone recently got engaged or graduated high school or college?
