If you've been chosen to give welcome remarks at an event, it's because people trust you. Show that you deserve that trust by honoring the guests without getting in the way.

Step 1: Make introductions
Introduce yourself and start your remarks by thanking everyone for coming. Be cordial, humble, and speak for a couple minutes at the most. Give your welcome remarks genuinely, as if welcoming people into your home.

Step 2: Say names correctly
Refer to each special guest, having prepared by writing down their names, including how to pronounce them. Pay tribute to their successes, linking these to the event as you introduce them.

Tip
Double check that all your facts are correct before sharing the information.

Step 3: Thanks contributors
Thank those who have made the day possible, from the organizers of the event to the wait staff working the floor.

Step 4: Review topics
Reinforce the purpose or goal of the event. Offer a lead-in to the speech topics or events to follow.

Tip
You might want to tease the featured speaker with a light anecdote that gently pokes fun at them. Make sure to ask their permission first -- you want it to be funny for them as well as their future audience.

Step 5: Share your hopes
Share your personal hopes, ideas, or plans about the topic of the day.

Step 6: End with good wishes
End your speech by wishing all, and especially the guests, an interesting day. Introduce the first speaker, and get out of the way. You are their guide, not the reason they came.
