Once the honor of being Best Man has been bestowed upon you, your heart will probably flutter at the thought of delivering the Best Man speech. The agony of trying to captivate the wedding guests with a sensational Best Man speech for up to 5 minutes will cause many sleepless nights unless action is taken on your part to ensure you are fully prepared to give an outstanding Best Man speech.

Knowing the popular topics for a Best Man speech will be a starting point for you to write your speech or perhaps take the easier option of buying some ready-made funny Best Man speeches and automatically feel the weight lifted off your shoulders.

The Best Man’s speech is, for most people, the most anticipated of all the wedding speeches so embarrassing yourself is not an option, so make sure you are aware of the top 10 Best Man don’ts to avoid making mistakes during your toast.

You should be aware of the format of a Best Man speech and given that humor plays an integral part in Best Man speeches, be sure to include a funny wedding joke or two in your speech. Aside from humor another great way to have the audience eating out of the palm of your hand (metaphorically speaking of course) is to praise often throughout your toast. Apart from the Bride and Groom, flattering comments should also be reserved for the Bridesmaids, Maid Of Honor, and the newlywed’s families amongst others. Be sure to spend a minute talking about the love the Bride and Groom share, how they make such a great couple, and mention the positive impact the Bride has had on the Groom since meeting her.

Apart from everything else it is important that you enjoy your time as Best Man, the Bachelor Party will be a fun event and I am sure you will have a few nights out with the Groom and your buddies before the day of the wedding. The Best Man speech will be the culmination of a memorable time for you so don’t spent the joyful months in the build-up to the wedding exasperated with worry over the speech. One final post that I advise reading is the top 5 items the Best Man should have with him on the wedding day to ensure no last minute hiccups on the morning of the wedding.

It seems that there is an app for almost everything we need in our daily lives. Thanks to BestManApp.com there is now a web app for best men that provides everything a best man will ever need.

On top of all that there is my own favorite feature – the option of having the bride and groom receive a copy of your speech at a date chosen by you (after the wedding obviously).  This will serve as a treasured memento for them and the perfect way for your special part in the wedding to be remembered.

By providing such quality wizards, sample best man speeches, funny jokes and wedding toasts, Best Man App is sure to be a hit.

Funny Best Man speeches are usually what the wedding guests expect from Best Men and therefore are the most popular type of Best Man speech that are attempted at weddings. I purposely used the word “attempted” because if the you get this type of speech wrong then it won’t be the Groom who will be embarrassed it will be you. 

The best funny Best Man speeches will leave the wedding  guests delighted, the Happy Couple ecstatic and you overjoyed with the stunning ovation that you will receive at the end of your toast.

The type of humor that goes into a funny Best Man speech should not be a total character assassination of the Groom instead a mixture of subtle humor and tasteful jokes should be used as they will have a better impact on everyone in attendance.

Other ways to ensure your speech garners a constant flow of laughter is to offer your own unique words of advice on marriage to the Bride and Groom.  Funny quotes about marriage should also be encouraged as should humorous stories about the Groom that you haven’t shared before but, as ever, make sure they are suitable to a diverse range of ages as weddings are not just for adults.

More humor can be found by including a story about the Groom’s chaotic approach to the wedding planning and overall preparation of the wedding, the guests will enjoy a story relating to this.

Being creative will work to your advantage as wedding props often receive thunderous receptions when used in a funny Best Man speech. You should also consider using one-liners that serve to show a contrast between the Bride and Groom, examples might be; “the Bride likes cooking and we know the Groom loves eating” or “the Bride likes dancing, the Groom likes drinking.”

When you are delivering Best Man toasts set the tone by smiling as you speak, if you look like you are enjoying yourself then the guests will believe that you are and hang on your every word. Taboo subjects for your speech include past romances, stag/bachelor parties and jokes about honeymoon activities.

Make sure that, despite the fact that you are giving a funny Best Man speech, you should also include some lines praising the Bride, Bridesmaids, the families of the newlyweds and anyone else who made a telling contribution to the wedding.

Ending your speech with an uplifting Best Man toast will help ensure that your speech gets the reception it deserves and that you have memories that will last you a lifetime.
