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.

Best Man App features a smart web wizard that guides you through the difficult job of writing a great best man speech with ease. Another great feature of Best Man App is the best man duties wizard – the ultimate best man duties manager.

Other features of the Best Man App include:

- A treasure trove of sample best man speeches to suit every personality.

- A library of memorable best man toasts.

- More than 400 best man jokes across 30 different topics.

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. The only thing it doesn’t do is stand up and give the speech for you, but at least you will be armed with the next best thing. Thanks to this great new app being a best man has never been easier.

One of the key elements of a successful Best Man speech is to be aware of what should be included in it. Best Man humor will be expected but knowing when and where to use this humor is equally important in order to avoid offending anyone so with that in mind let us look at what goes into a Best Man speech. I have broken this up into 5 sections to help you put it into practice for your speech.

1. The Introduction.

•  welcome the wedding guests.
•  introduce yourself and mention your relationship to the Groom.
•  tell a quick joke about speechmaking.
•  refer to the great day and praise the parents of both the Bride and Groom.

2. The Groom

•  talk about your friendship with the Groom.
•  tell a story that highlights the Groom’s qualities.
•  tell a story that makes fun of the Groom, though be careful not to offend.
•  mention your delight and pride at being his Best Man.

3. The Bride

•  describe how beautiful the Bride looks.
•  praise her Bridesmaids and offer a toast in their honor.
•  tell a story that highlights the Bride qualities.
•  mention why you think she is the perfect Bride for the Groom.

4. Their Relationship.

•  tell a cute story about when the Groom told you that he was in love.
•  offer funny marital advice to the Bride and Groom.
•  share a romantic story about the newlyweds.
•  talk about how the Groom has been since the Bride came into his life.

5. The Toast.

•  invite everyone to be upstanding as you are about to deliver the toast.
•  raise your glass in the air.
•  invite everyone else to do likewise.
•  off the all-important toast in honor of the happy couple.
•  thank everyone for listening.

Keep in mind that any stories you tell during your Best Man speech should be short stories, otherwise there is a danger that the wedding guests may become disinterested. You can include Best Man jokes and wedding one-liners in various sections within your speech just make sure they don’t cause offence.

Short Best Man speeches can provide humor, warmth, love and special memories for all concerned, particularly you as Best Man. Your words will be eagerly anticipated by the wedding guests so it is worth investing both time and effort to ensure your speech is not a let down, the 7 tips outlined below will help you craft a successful Best Man speech.

1. Get the time right.

Your Best Man speech should fall somewhere between the 3 to 5 minute mark so make sure you time yourself when practicing your speech at home.

2. Flatter the Bride.

Most Best Men focus their attention on mocking the Groom, humor is fine but it is just as important to praise the Bride during your Best Man speech. Compliment the way she looks and refer to some of her special attributes. This is important as the wedding guests will appreciate your kind words as will the Bride and her family.

3. Keep jokes and stories short.

If you plan on giving a short Best Man speech you do not want to rely on one story or joke to take up the bulk of your time, instead stick to one-liners and brief stories, that way you can include a couple of each, meaning double the laughs.

4. Include some lines about your friendship with the Groom.

It is the Groom after all who asked you to be his Best Man so return the compliment during your Best Man speech by including some sincere remarks about the friendship you share. These words will stay with the Groom for a long time so be kind when discussing his positive traits.

5. Consider the option of Best Man props.

Whether you are giving short Best Man speeches or otherwise Best Man props can propel your speech to legendary status so consider including one in your speech.

6. Talk about the romance between the Bride and Groom.

A heartwarming story about the romance between the Bride and Groom will go down a treat in your Best Man speech so ensure you include one that reflects the love they share.

7. Close your speech with an uplifting Best Man toast.

Choose your words carefully when you get to the toasting section of your Best Man speech as these are the words that will be remembered most so ensure your toast is a fitting tribute to the Bride and Groom.

The chance to be Best Man may only come once in your life so rather than live in fear of the Big Day, consider buying some short Best Man speeches written by a professional speechwriter and ooze confidence when you are delivering your Best Man speech.
