2. Introduce yourself.
Not everyone is likely to know you so introduce yourself explain your relationship to the groom and mention how happy you are to best man.
3. Praise the parents of the bride and groom.
Thank them for the wonderful work they have done in helping with the wedding before mentioning how proud they must be on this special day.
4. Compliment the Bride
Praising the bride is important as it gives you another opportunity to get a loud round of applause. Say something about how the groom has never been as happy since meeting the bride the continue by saying she is “not just a beutiful girl, she is a beautiful person and I’m sure everyone here agrees with that?” by stating in the form of a question you are sure to get a round of applause as a sign of agreement from the guests.
5. Keep Best Man jokes short.
The jokes that have the best impact are short one-liners rather than long jokes, which allows you to use 2 or 3 throughout your speech.
6. Props work wonders in best man speeches.
For comedy effect, nothing works better than a good prop in a best man speech. Whether it is an embarrassing (but clean) picture of the groom super-sized on a slideshow, or a fake fax from a “guest” who couldn’t make it to the wedding, make sure your best man speech has a prop included.
7. Tell a funny story about the groom.
Making the groom blush with embarrassment is all part and parcel of a best man speech and a great way to make that happen is to tell a funny story about him. Stories about ex-wives, ex-girlfriends should be avoided, as should stories that might offend his new wife.
8. Use a funny quote about marriage.
There are many funny quotes about marriage uttered by the rich and famous over the years, be sure to include one in your speech to keep the humor flowing.
9. Charm the guests with a story that underlines the love that the newlyweds share.
As your speech draws to a close share a cute story about the bride and groom that highlights why they are such a special couple.
10. Bring your speech to a conclusion with an uplifting best man toast.
The feel-good factor in the room will swell if you finish your speech with an uplifting best man toast. The bride and groom will appreciate it, the guests will adore it, and the standing ovation you receive afterwards will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
