A well-crafted, entertaining and thoughtful speech is the greatest gift you can give a loved one and this birthday speech template will help you deliver a truly memorable one.

Whether it’s a loved one’s 50th, 60th or even 90th birthday – Speechy’s template will ensure you add a wonderful moment to their day. 

Unlike other generic birthday speech templates, this one is NOT…

  • 🚫 Packed with tired jokes and cheesy one-liners
  • 🚫 A predictable speech full of clichés and overused platitudes
  • 🚫 A lazy cut-and-paste job that lacks personality

Instead, we give you three expertly written speech options—each designed to be easily personalised and tailored to your loved one. Whether you want to keep it light-hearted and witty or add a sentimental touch, this template helps you strike the perfect balance.

Written by ‘Excellent’ speechwriters, you can trust Speechy templates to help you deliver a speech that’s memorable for all the right reasons.

(And if it’s YOUR birthday you’re planning – we have the perfect template for you too).

Birthday speech - paying tribute to a loved one

We refused to settle for a bland, fill-in-the-blanks speech that just requires plugging in names and dates.

Instead, we spent months developing a format that balances expert structure with personalisation. This means:
✔ You get a professionally written framework that ensures a smooth flow
✔ You’ll be guided to include memorable anecdotes and heartfelt moments
✔ You’ll craft a speech that feels truly personal, rather than a generic cut-and-paste job

No Pinterest clichés. No cringey dad jokes (unless that’s your thing!). Just a genuine, well-crafted tribute to someone special.

✔ You acknowledge the right people (without awkward omissions!)
✔ You balance humour, warmth, and sentiment effortlessly
✔ You have a clear structure that keeps your speech engaging and memorable

Father laughing at wedding speech

Every speech benefits from a touch of humour—but there’s never an excuse for generic old-age gags you find on the internet.

Instead, Speechy’s comedy-writing expertise helps you effortlessly weave in humour using:
Real-life moments (the best source of natural laughs!)
Personal quirks and traits of the birthday VIP
✔ A speech structure that sets up lighthearted moments without forced jokes

No need to stress over crafting punchlines—the laughs will come naturally.

Celebration speech

At Speechy, we believe a great speech is more than just words—it’s a story.

That’s why our templates aren’t just lists of compliments and thank-yous—they’re crafted with narrative principles that keep your audience engaged. Each speech option offers:
A fresh and dynamic structure to shape your speech
A strong opening and memorable closing to leave an impact
A natural storytelling flow to hold attention from start to finish

With our expert speechwriting techniques built into the template, you’ll craft a speech that’s not just spoken, but felt.

My father suggested I give a speech at my mother's 70th and I had no idea where to begin. This helped give me a structure to work with and loads of cracking lines. Perfect!
Mrs P
My husband was blown away by my speech. It helped me capture everything I wanted to say but made me funny in the process. So glad I found you.
Jacob
Loved the three speech options but the 'Older, Not Wiser' option was perfect for my dad. Had everyone in stitches but also got my mum crying at the nice bits. Wanted to let you know it was a big hit.
