As anyone who has been Best Man before can confirm, the thoughts of giving a Best Man’s speech can be enough to keep you awake at night with worry. Today’s post looks at 7 tips to help you become a more confident wedding speaker and will enable you to give a Best Man speech that you can be proud of.

1.  It is common for nervous Best Men to speak quicker than normal so take your time when speaking.

2.  Make sure you let everyone know your relationship to the Groom,as there is a chance not everyone at the wedding will be aware of who you are.

3.  Pause for effect, after telling a Best Man joke or after delivering an anecdote, to allow for the wedding guests reaction.

4.  Don’t read your speech, have it written on cue cards and refer to them as you need to, each paragraph should have one word highlighted to serve as as a cue for you when you glance at the card.

5.  Include a section in your speech where you vividly praise the Bride, this will be well-received by all in attendance and should guarantee an immediate round of applause.

6.  Personalize your speech by including a short story about the Groom that not many people will have heard before.

7.  Be aware of the structure of a Best Man speech to help ensure that you don’t omit anyone from your speech.

Once you have written, and rehearsed the important lines of your speech then you will find that those sleepless nights are soon replaced by carefree sound sleeps as you look forward to the wedding and unleashing a powerful Best Man speech.
