Congratulations you have been asked to be best man. You will probably get free food, free drinks and maybe even a gift, that's the good news; the bad news is you have to make a best man speech. The speech needs to be a funny batsman's speech, maybe with a few jokes and a few examples of the past life of the Groom. Most6 of all it needs to be original!
So here are my 8 top tips
1. Relax and act confident even if you are scared stiff, be like the swan calm above the water but paddling as quick as you can beneath the water.
2. Stand-up, Speak-Up Then Shut-Up, Never try and give your speech sitting down, you need presence and the audiences attention.
3. Always, Always, Always plan what you are going to say. Use small note cards to help you.
4. Don't just Google wedding speeches and copy and paste into a speech anyone who has attended a wedding in the last 10 years would have heard the jokes before and know you could not be bothered to go the extra mile.
5. Funny and Vulgar are not the same thing so keep it clean.
6. Practice makes perfect so rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
7. Slow down and enjoy the experience, a well timed pause can add to the effect and allow the audience to use their own imagination if they have been led in the right way.
8. Keep it short; add some emotion, the bestman's wedding speech is about the bride and groom not you, and remember you are often the only thing standing between the guest and a free bar.
With these tips, I assure you, you won't embarrass yourself in front of the whole wedding party.
I hope these tips have given you some pointers on what to do when giving your best man speech. If you want to go the extra mile, writing and delivering a highly amusing and original bestman speech then check out our Wedding Speeches Tips
