Best Man's Speech

One helpful tip I can give when it comes to a writing best man’s speech is to make use of any examples you can find, both from the internet and from memories of past weddings you’ve attended. Actually, it’s also a good idea to ask friends and family about best man’s speeches they remember hearing, as this will help you to decipher not only what other best men have spoke of, but what facets of their speeches the audience actually enjoyed and remembered.

Of course, while you may be able to find some good examples to model your speech after, you want to make your speech as unique and memorable as possible by tailoring it to your specific audience (as well as the bride and the groom). It’s important to add in your own stories about the bride and the groom, and of course a few jokes in order to keep the audience engaged and to make the speech memorable. While some best mans speeches simply drone on about the benefits of marriage, those are generally considered dry and boring unless they are peppered with interesting stories and jokes that relate to the now married couple.

Also, you may want to consider coordinating your best man’s speech with the grooms speech in order to make some jokes that are congruent in both. This is a great way to give the audience a laugh and play off each other. Two or three jokes is a good amount in each speech, as the speeches should also involve some touching and serious elements, and of course include your well wishes for the bride and the groom.

One thing that helped me to write my best man wedding toast was this best man wedding speech guide, as it outlined ideas and examples that could help someone like me, who hadn’t been to very many weddings, write a speech that fit in well with the rest of the festivities. It’s important to gather all the best man speech tips you can, as you want your speech to be both very classy as well as tastefully humorous. It’s always important to remember not to go too far with the humor, as both the bride and groom’s families will be present. My rule of thumb when it comes to humor in a wedding speech is that you shouldn’t say anything that would upset grandma!
