Welcome Speech

My FI is kind of shy and not comfortable speaking in front of a lot of people. I, on the other hand, love it. Do you think it would be okay for me to give the welcome speech before dinner and all of the other toasts. And have my FI just handle the return toast to our bridal party? Thanks for the input!

    The welcome speech is often given by the FOB at the weddings I have attended.  Not sure if that is an option. 

    I think it would be OK for you to welcome your guests too.

    There's nothing wrong with you welcoming/thanking your guests.

    There is nothing wrong with you speaking but there is something wrong if he doesn't speak at all.

    I think it's nicest when both parts of the couple speak. Though if you think he would be really uncomfortable talking, at the very  least he can stand up next to you when you speak.

    I don't know what a return toast to the bridal party is.
