Do You Want To Be Like Her?
Every woman deserves to be loved and look forward to the beautiful day when she ties the knot with the man of her dreams.
That was the wish of Dani from a very young age. She always wanted to be a bride. Once, she was playing with her dad in their backyard when she went down one knee and asked her father to marry her.
Dad found that very amusing that he called the whole family to witness their little girl ‘’propose marriage’’ to him. They all couldn’t hold back their laughter when they got to the scene.
You couldn’t blame the little girl. Little Dani loved watching romantic movies and had seen the men do it and often asked her parents why men were always on their knees, and not the women.
So, the curious little girl took matters into her own hands and did it her own way. Well, years after that ‘’backyard proposal’’, she found herself married to a wonderful man who was a lot like her dad!
John knew how to treat a woman right and she had been with Dani through good times and bad. He was someone every woman would wish to have in their life.
On John’s 40th birthday, Dani wanted to express his affection for the love of her life in a very special way and with her family, friends, and neighbors coming, she thought of a very befitting way to publicly convey the love and admiration she has for John.
After considering several options, she settled on a birthday toast for her husband. Rose, her best friend convinced her to go with that even though she wasn’t a great speaker.
After John had spoken briefly and thanked a few people, she was asked to deliver her toast. Her husband was a bit worried and the guests wondered what she was going to say since she had told everyone she knew how much she hated speaking in public and now here she was.
When she grabbed the microphone, everything fell silent and these were her words.
Birthday Speech Example/Template for Your Husband
I would like to thank Dani of Coffee Chaos and Singles for this great piece.
Happy Birthday!
40 Years.
14,600 Days.
350,400 Hours.
21,024,000 Minutes.
That is how long you have graced this planet.
And I’ve only had 3,540 of those days.
You’re trying to check my math, huh? Don’t waste your time
Don’t look at this day as a sign that you’re “getting old” but as a sign of “getting better”. You’re a dude, which means that somehow aging only makes you a more luxurious version of yourself. As I (a woman) ages, I just deteriorate. You just keep getting better looking with age.
Today we celebrate you and the many gifts you offer.
Fatherhood.
I still remember the moment, even before we were married, that I knew you’d be an amazing father. What I didn’t realize is that “amazing” would grow to be a HUGE understatement. You are both kind and firm. You PLAY like it’s your full time job.
You hurt when they hurt, you pick them up when they fail, you guide when they need direction and you celebrate when they succeed. You are magical in this role. Braxton and Beckett are blessed to have you as a dad, and more importantly-perhaps- is how blessed I am that you are their father.
Support.
You have and always will be my biggest fan. You have continuously pushed me to succeed in the almost ten years we’ve been together.
You’ve pushed me to write my book, start my own company, and held my hand as we walked through our emotional journey to parenthood and everything following. I don’t think I could have made it through that journey without the love and support from you. You believe in me. You believe in our dreams. You believe in our children. Thank you.
Laughter.
Your laugh is contagious. You make fun of me (all the time) or crack silly jokes with our boys, but your laugh is part of the reason I fell in love with you so many years ago. It’s genuine. It’s you, and it’s brilliant. You’re a kid at heart, and that’s what makes you so lovable.
Hard-Work
You often work 7 days a week to provide a comfortable life for the boys and myself. You miss out on relaxing weekends, but once you’re home you’re all about family. Your boys love the attention you give them.
Braxton absolutely cherishes the wrestling and nerf guns wars that transpire within our home daily. Beckett loves the goofy faces and sounds you make, and his laugh is enough to melt anyone’s heart. The happiness our boys experience when they’re with you is non-replaceable.
Husband.
You are committed. Through thick and thin, your loyalty, love and support is evident. You have taken this role to heart, and you truly are an incredible husband.
I know I don’t give you enough credit sometimes and often give you a hard time, but I hope you know how much I appreciate and love you.
My wishes for you–
I pray that the “good days” far outnumber any other kind of day you have.
I pray that you never stop laughing.
I pray that you never give up on your dreams.
I pray that you recognize and feel the amount of love that surrounds you each day.
I pray that you never lose your sense of adventure.
I pray that you remain to be a kid at heart and never “grow up”
I pray that you truly know how much I (and the boys) appreciate all that you do for us each and every day.
I pray that you embrace 40 with open arms because baby you’re more handsome than ever!
After her last words were spoken, everyone got up and gave her a thunderous applause. Never in a million years did anyone think she could say something like that given her history of poor speaking performance.
John was so proud of her that he hugged her for close to 5 minutes and didn’t want to leave her alone.
Can You Make Him Proud Too?
At this point, you might be wondering how her speech became a hit and how you can also pull off a remarkable performance like she did.
Don’t worry because in the next few lines, I am going to show you everything you need to know to help you write a touching birthday toast for your husband.
Before we dive right in, there are two things I would like to draw your attention to.
First, contrary to what most people think, you don’t have to be blessed with the gift of writing to pen down something amazing about the man in your life. So, just focus on what you want to say and do your best to follow the instructions on this page and you will surprise and delight everyone.
Second, you will do yourself a lot of good if you let go off troubling thoughts about past public speaking failures.
You might have failed to speak confidently when you were asked to deliver a few words at a church gathering, graduation, wedding, funeral, etc.
As you get all set to undertake another event similar to those, your mind will resurrect those old nasty memories and paralyze you to the point of never trying again. You just have to put the past behind you and put in the work and you will make it this time around.
Having said that, let’s go back to the above template to figure out what went into writing it and how you can make the most of it.
To do that, let’s first re-cap parts of the introduction
‘’ Happy Birthday!
40 Years.
14,600 Days.
350,400 Hours.
21,024,000 Minutes.
That is how long you have graced this planet.
And I’ve only had 3,540 of those days.
You’re trying to check my math, huh? Don’t waste your time
Don’t look at this day as a sign that you’re “getting old” but as a sign of “getting better”. You’re a dude, which means that somehow aging only makes you a more luxurious version of yourself. ‘’
What comes to mind when you re-look at the above extract? That takes my mind back to my high school years when my English Teacher said every essay starts with an introduction? Do you remember that?
I hope you have not forgotten about that. Well, the introduction of your toast should have two main parts:
- Greetings and self-introduction
- A hook- an opening statement that grabs attention immediately and draws your listeners into the body of your speech
A first grade student can even write the former since it requires little or no mental effort.
The latter is a little hard to put into words considering the fact that most speeches begin on a rather dull note.
Yours should start with a bang and it can only happen if you try to weave into your introductory remarks at least one or more of the following techniques.
First, you can start with a memorable story. An anecdote about where and how you met him. If there was a funny incident that occurred before his birthday, you can work that into your speech to make it a little more hilarious. Can you give this a try?
Second, if you are a talented musician or have a good singing voice, you can use a well-known song to let your family and friends know why your husband means the world to you. Speakers who go that route often get tons of heartwarming compliments for their creativity.
Third, you can get everyone laughing like very happy kids by showing a funny video or something similar to that before you even deliver your toast.
Fourth, if you or your husband is a Christian or you both are very religious, you can start with a prayer and blessing before you share your birthday message about him. For example, this short prayer can suit the occasion.
Open your eyes to the truth of the word of God and see what he has in his books for you. He will cover you with his blood and raise you high among your equals. He will support you every day in every way and he will make sure lines fall in beautiful places for you.
Rejoice in the lord today because it is the day the lord has made. It is your joyful moment, let thank God and celebrate, you will live longer under the beautiful care of our Lord. All your sorrows will turn to happiness for you. Happy birthday to you darling husband.
Fifth, if your husband’s birthday coincides with those of some notable personalities or great events that shaped the course of history, you can let the guests know about it. Of course, this approach requires a little digging for the right facts to make it work.
Here’s a short example to buttress this point.
As most of you know, John’s birthday falls on 14th February. He’s a very good man and I am sure God sent him from heaven on that day because so many good men were born on this day.
History tells us that Mr. Wise was born on this day. Dan was also born on this beautiful day. So was Mr. Valentine.
Most of you call my husband Uncle Valentine. Well, when I first John 30 years ago, he told me his nickname was Uncle Valentine. When I found why he had that name, I naively thought, if he’s called Valentine, then I have met my true love.
Don’t laugh. That sounds funny right? I was only a child by then. I think I was 14 years old then and I heard someone say anyone called Valentine will be a good husband. That person proved to be right because Mr. John Valentine has been an amazing husband these years 30 years.
You got the picture right?
Sixth, you can make your opening remarks a little sentimental by infusing one or more of the following quotes into it.
- ‘“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” – Angelita Lim
- ‘’ “I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- ‘’ When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us, I love you more than any fight we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us, I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us. I love you the most.” – Unknown
Now, let’s move to on to the next section:
How to Write the Body or Outline of Your Birthday Toast for Your Husband
A lot of people send me all kinds of speeches for review and I often find that most of those pieces have many scattered thoughts and ideas which are poorly organized.
You see, those speech givers as well as several others actually know what to say. But they struggle to bring all their ideas together in a way that makes sense.
You know why that always happens? These narrators don’t have a plan that will help them say what they really want to say.
Before you even decide to write something about your sweetheart, you need to have a framework or plan that would guide you from the start of your presentation to the end.
The first step involves choosing the style of theme of your toast. The styles to choose from include musical, storytelling or narration, gratitude, poetic, funny, sentimental, rhythmic or a combination of one or more of these speech styles.
These speech styles, in effect, gives meaning to your presentation since it’s a representation of who you really are. Your choice shouldn’t be based on what’s trending or what you think will make everyone appreciate your work. Just pick a speaking style you are comfortable with and go with it.
Afterward, decide on the length of your toast. It should be not too long or too short. But long or short enough to tell the guests why you love your husband.
If it’s very entertaining but too short, people will itch for more. But if it’s too long but very boring like a baby’s yawn, they will tune out.
Once you have settled on the length, you have to put yourself in the moodfor the clever expression of your thoughts by watching a few video clips to get a fair idea of how birthday toasts are made.
There are so many of such videos online but youtube.com has lots of video clips you can watch and learn from. Below are two clips you can watch and learn from.
Birthday Toast for Husband Example # 1
Birthday Toast for Husband Example # 2
After you have watched those video presentations and gotten some inspiration from them , you can go ahead to recapture your husband’s life from when you first met him, to when you got married, to the present moment.
This comes in handy if you want to employ the narrative style of speaking. That of course tinged with something sentimental is the most preferred style.
By the way, here are ideas to help you come up with fun and fond memories.
- Where did you meet him?
- When did you meet your husband?
- What were the first impressions really like?
- What drew you both so close?
- What has life been like for you since he came into your life?
- What makes him a special person or man?
- What funny memories do you remember about him?
- What are his pet peeves? Just list them and see if you make it funny. Remember, not to touch on anything that might sound embarrassing.
- What do you really want to say to him on his birthday?
Action Tip: Write answers to the above questions and go back to read the above example for guidance. Then, just start spitting out whatever is in your head. Let your thoughts settle for a day or two and go back to work on it later on.
Now, let’s look at
How to End Your Birthday Message for Your Husband on a Bright Note
It’s not unusual for most speakers to start their speeches with so much enthusiasm only to end sluggishly.
That shouldn’t be the case, however. You have to start well and end well if you want to leave a favorable impression on the minds of the party goers.
How can you do that, now? Great question and I am happy you have asked that.
There are actually several ways to do that and I am happy to share a few tips with you.
First, you can end with a prayer if both of you are Christians or you are a religious couple.
Second, can you present a special gift to your man in the presence of his family and friends and tell everyone why are you giving him that gift. You better do that and his birthday will be super fun, creative, and memorable.
And third, you can end on a very humorous note by rendering the ever popular birthday song in your own style to make it sound funny.
Here you go:
Happy birthday to my sweet husband
Happy birthday to my sweet husband
I LOVE him more than he knows
I LOVE him more than he knows
I LOVE him more than he knows
How old are you now?
How old are you now?
How old are you now?
Response
I am 16 years old now
I am 16 years old now
I am 16 years old now
Who here can guess my age?
Ok, just switch 1 and 6
Ok, just switch 1 and 6
And you will know that I am an old man!
