One of the most enjoyable and easiest methods of raising laughter and spirits while giving your speech is to include lighthearted marital advice to the newlyweds. Irrespective of whether you are married yourself, you can provide advice as if you were an expert albeit in a fun manner. This section can raise as much laughter as funny best man jokes and will be enjoyed by all.

You have two ways of leading into this section of your speech, if you are single you might say “Though I am not married myself I did extensive research on the internet and am now happy to pass my expertise over to the Bride and Groom…”

Or if you are a married you might say ” As a married man I could warn the newlyweds of what to expect from marriage but given that my own dear wife is here I will be going easy on the subject…”

You could then use one of these lines, choose whichever best suits your style of speech.

A successful husband is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

There are four words certain to end any row “you are right honey.”

Never answer “dust” if your partner asks you “what’s on TV today?”

Remember that in the word “wedding” the “we” comes before the “I’.

You will grow old and you will both change but the fun part is falling in love with same person over and over again.

These are in essence wedding one-liners that can help add further humor to your best man speech and ensure you receive confidence-building applause as you move on to the next part of it. It is important not to follow this up with more jokes, for better effect vary between sincerity and humor.

Getting into the festive spirit we have been wondering how a man renowned around the world for delivering the goods, would fare if he had to deliver a best man speech. Would his jokes be funny? How would he perform when providing the toast? Well wonder no more and enjoy our interpretation of Santa’s best man speech.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,

It is wonderful to be here today in a room with a big door rather than a cramped chimney. I know you all have been very good particularly our bride and groom John and Sarah and to hear those lovely wedding bells made my heart glow with joy, they are my 2nd favorite type of bells, after jingle bells of course.

To see so many old friends in attendance is lovely. I checked the wedding list, in fact I checked it twice and given that John and Sarah are heading off on honeymoon I am allowing them be both naughty and nice. I’m sure they won’t have too many silent nights as a happily married couple but if they do just remember the magic words “you’re right dear.”

The ceremony in the church was perfect, to have 4 fathers so heavily involved was marvellous with the father of the bride, the father of the groom, the priest Fr. Murphy and myself Father Christmas all playing our parts.

My own dear wife Mrs. Clause is back in Lapland looking after the reindeer, she will be good at that as she has been reining me in for years. I still remember when we first kissed under the mistletoe, everyone’s hearts melted though as it was a hot day, for the snowmen, it was a lot more than just hearts that melted.

I know you all agree with me that our lovely couple are the ideal match (though try to keep matches away from chimneys at this time of year) so please join me in toasting the bride and groom.

Wishing them as much love as the moment they said “I do”
Not just at Christmas but all-year round too.

Thank you all so very much, Merry Christmas.

Okay, so I am aware it is only the early days of November and Christmas may seem a long way away but just as a Best Man in the summer prepares his Best Man speech in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding I am allowing the same courtesy to anyone who has to perform the role as Best Man at a Christmas wedding and therefore am providing some jokes and one-liners to assist them in their speech.

1)  As a married man myself, I can assure John that from now on Christmas will live long in his heart, way past December, it’s on my wife’s credit card bill 12 months of the year.

2) Being so near Christmas it wouldn’t surprise me if the Groomsmen passed on some of their Christmas presents as gifts to the Bride and Groom, so at least John and Sarah can easily identify who gave them the train set, the rubix cube and the toy wrestling figures.

3) Thanks to today I have had to alter my usual Christmas gift for John, I only hope I remember to call Bachelor’s Anonymous tomorrow to cancel his annual subscription.

A Best Man speech at Christmas offers a great opportunity to use props in your speech, so if you haven’t already done so, then read this post;

Using Props To Enhance Your Best Man Speech

A Best Man speech at Christmas should be the exact same format as a Best Man speech at any other time of year, but adding a couple of seasonal jokes should ensure that the spirit of goodwill is reflected in the ovation your speech receives afterwards.
