• Preparing a vote of thanks speech is always thought of as a Herculean task, and it does not have to be so if you know what exactly you have to do. Choose your words carefully. It is very important that you do not miss out to include any of the esteemed guests, the host or the dignitaries in your speech. You should also take care to thank the participants and the people who were a part of the event.
• The Vote of Thanks is probably the last item for any event – be it Teacher’s Day, Annual Day or a birthday party – the list goes on. Make sure that you do not write long unwinding sentences. Keep it short and simple. You can start your vote of thanks speech by greeting everyone present or with a good quote on gratitude, followed by the list of guests you have to extend your thanks on behalf of the organization or the party that is hosting the event. It is then that you thank the participants and everyone who has been there for the event. Finally, you can end by thanking the hosts for having given you the opportunity to represent them.
