    Perfect Best Man Speech

    So you’re going to a wedding and you have to make a speech, but you sure as hell know that you don’t want it to be a boring old speech like you know every one else’s is going to be like. You want people to remember your speech and rightly so. It doesn’t matter if you’re the father of the bride, the best man or just a friend wishing the lucky couple well, making a memorable speech and making people laugh will add something to their wedding day.

    Funny and vulgar are two different things. A lot of people, especially men tend to think that to be funny you have to be vulgar and rude and embarrass the newly weds, this is not true. My brother recently had the honor of being best man at his best friends wedding and the night before the big day, I think he was more nervous then the groom. My brother has always been an out going guy, but when it came to making a best man speech, he just couldn’t think of what he wanted to say and he was nervous as heck having to stand up in front of all those guests and give a heart felt speech.

    It’s been said that people fear public speaking more then any other one thing in life. In this article I’m going to give you a few tips I passed on to my brother that you can take and turn your speech into something memorable. With these tips, I assure you, you won’t embarrass yourself in front of the whole wedding party.

  • Tip 1 Stand up while speaking

    • Always, always stand up when giving a best man speech or a toast. Make sure you have the gatherings attention first before you speak, and the best way to do that is to stand up and wait for quiet. Standing up is the first rule of any good public speaking and a wedding is no different.

  • Tip 2 Plan what you want to say

    • Never try and wing the speech. Giving a best man speech needs to be planned and written down well in advance. My brother started working on giving his best man speech weeks in advance. Unless you are a really confident public speaker, this is the best way to make sure you say everything you wanted to say.

  • Tip 3 Practice makes perfect!

    • Practice your speech until you know it off by heart. There is nothing worse then giving a best man speech and having to look down at your notes constantly. Fidgeting with paper is a big no no.

  • Tip 4 Keep it clean

    • If you and the best man have known each other for a while and you’ve had some wild times together, this is not the time to air his dirty laundry. People think that giving a best man speech gives them the right to embarrass the groom and upset the bride, this is not the case. Don’t mention the trip to the strip joint or anything of that sort.

  • Tip 5  Keep it short

    • No one wants to be bored for hours with your speech. Make it short and to the point and don’t forget to add emotion when giving your best man speech. The wedding isn’t about you, it’s about the bride and groom, don’t forget that.

    I hope these tips have given you some pointers on what to do when giving your best man speech. Good luck!

    Best Man Wedding Speeches

    As the best man you are among the most important people at the wedding and delivering a memorable heartfelt wedding speech should be important to you. Here are a few Sure-Fire ways to make sure that you deliver a memorable speech. If you are like me speaking in front of large groups of people can be unsettling and you may be a little anxious in anticipation of the “Big Day.” Here are 3 sure-fire ways to make sure that you deliver a awesome Best Man wedding speech that will be remembered a life time!

    Create Your Wedding Speech From Real Life Events

    If you are the best man, I think that It would be safe to assume that you have a past with this person. Well, your past can be used to your advantage when trying to create the perfect best man wedding speech or toast. The best speeches are always created from real life events, so take a second and think back to times that you and the groom have spent together. It may help to actually right out events that you can remember and incorporate them into your speech.

    Create A Outline For Your Wedding Speech

    Outlines can be very effective in mapping out you and the grooms personal relationships and remembering special times that you have shared. This can be effective in determining exactly what to talk about and maybe what to avoid. Creating a Outline of your relationship with the groom will almost always save you time when it comes to actually writing the speech itself as all significant events that can be incorporated are right there in front of you.

    Keep Your Best Man Wedding Speech To A Appropriate Length

    The length of your best man wedding speech or toast can be just as important as the content that is delivered in it. As a general rule of thumb a appropriate speech generally lasts 5-10 minutes. It is important to make your wedding speech heart-felt but at the same to you don’t want your best man speech to be too drawn out or have the wedding guests get bored with it. By aiming for a speech in the range of 5-10 minutes you will be able to retain the attention of the crowd and your speech will be much more memorable.

    Go with the Flow

    By this I mean, try to deliver a best man wedding speech that goes with the flow of the wedding party. I would suggest maybe creating 2 wedding speeches for the purposes of having one for a Humorous wedding party and maybe having one for a Sentimental wedding party. If people at the party are laughing and having a good ol’ time it would be advisable and most appropriate to deliver your humorous wedding speech. However, maybe if people are all sentimental and tears are being shed try sticking with your sappy sentimental best man wedding speech. By going with the flow your speech will be much more memorable.

    Are you the best man in a wedding that’s coming up? Don’t have time to prepare your own speech? If you don’t already have a speech prepared, you need to visit Best Man Wedding Speeches. Customize your own best man wedding speech for just $19.95.
