Birthday Speech - 26 Birthday Speech Topics

Birthday speech template including 8 birthday sample speech topics for the celebrant and 18 ideas for a guest who want to give an birthday anniversary speech. The tone is personal, congratulatory, lighthearted and sincere. So, come up with nice entertaining birthday thoughts, funny remarks and tell humorous stories or even jokes. The celebrant should be thankful for all attention. Don't be too serious, poke a little fun at

yourself. A guest can roast the celebrated person a little bit in a birthday speech. But don't go to far. How far you can go depends on the ambiance of the public speaking occasion. So, it is good to know who is on the birthday guest list:

Do they know each other?
How close to the celebrant are they?

Okay, I've made my point: don't include insulting or smutty public speaking speech topics. After all, it's a happy birthday :-) Just a small note before we start: were I wrote She or Her in my free birthday writing templates, you can read He or Him also.

Birthday Speech From The Celebrant: 8 Topics

Pick out the ones you like. These are sample speech topics. If you are the celebrant then speak after all other speakers. Keep your speech short.

1. Welcome and thank all the guests for attenting this birthday celebration.

2. Thank all for their gifts and best wishes.

3. Thank the family members who have organized the party. Especially if it is a surprise party.

4. Look back at the past. Mention one or two important milestones in your life. E.g. your partner, the birth of your children or their graduation, memorable moments with friends, trips around the world, special projects, hobbies, etc. Warm and funny birthday speech topics about family ties always do the trick.

5. Thank all with one entertaining sentence, in which you capture the importance of your family and friends.

6. Look to the future:

Tell the attendants about your plans and hopes.
What do you want to realize?
What do you want to change? And why?

And those popular and famous speech topics bring me to the next birthday topics idea.

7. If it is a very special birthday - you reached a special age, for example your 30th, 40th of 50th birthday - then pay attention to it. Tell a joke about people who reached this age. Otherwise, mention certain circumstances if they occur and influence the events on your birthday. But don't sound sad, try to approach them in a positive way.

8. End your speech with praising the guests. Just say you hope that they will be back. At the party next year...
