Not every one gets to reach 60 therefore it is one of the most memorable occasions where you get to look back at the life the person has lived. Start by thanking the person for making you a part of the celebration and mention that you are having a wonderful time at the party. If you are related to the person you can say how happy you are to see all the family members gathered together.

The speech can also include what birthdays mean for you and even add a poem or quotation fitting for the occasion. Speaking about the characteristics and attributes of the person is also a great way to make the speech special. Include some of the things that the person has done that have made your life easier.

Humor, anecdotes, and foibles that are related to some of the experiences you have shared with the person can also be added to the speech. Make sure you acknowledge what the person celebrating the birthday means to the other people at the party as well. Talk to some of the guests before making your speech to get a feel of just how much the person means to them.
