For the majority of people the honor of being asked to be Best Man is greeted with delight and a certain degree of privilege, then the realization hits home that the Best Man is expected to undertake many duties in this position with the task of giving a Best Man speech top of the agenda. The thoughts of speaking and entertaining a large audience is one of the biggest fears that a Best Man must overcome.

Once you have calmed down you will be asking yourself questions like;

• - how long is the Best Man expected to speak?
• - what does he say?
• - who is he expected to thank during his speech?
• - what other roles and duties are expected of the Best Man?
• - how can the Best Man be funny without offending?

There are a myriad of other questions that a Best Man must try to find solutions to in order to do himself justice in the role so preparation is vital.

When it comes to preparing material to include in your speech the most important factor will be getting the wedding toast right. Your last words will have a huge impact on whether your speech is deemed a failure or a success. The example below for instance is a perfect way to wind down your speech and end on a high.

” I hope that John and Sarah have many years of lying, cheating and stealing ahead of them now that they are a married couple”, you will notice an expectant silence over the audience as they wait to hear what  you could possibly be saying next, then endear them forever to your hearts by saying….”Yes I hope they spend endless nights lying in each others arms, I hope with every morning they grab the opportunity to steal yet another kiss and may they forever cheat time and remain young at heart.”

The importance of a Best Man toast in the context of your overall speech cannot over-stated, it is vital to get this right as you do not want to give a great speech only to be let down with a limp toast at the end. No matter how funny a speech you plan on giving when it comes to the toast tone down on the humor and use it as a platform to inspire and delight in equal measures.

The type of Best Man speeches that receive the loudest applause are the ones that combine humor with emotion, so getting that balance right is important. Best Man jokes are very important as are compliments for the Bride but there are other ways to have the wedding guest’s melt with emotion or erupt with sheer joy and laughter, today we look at five methods.

1. Present the Pageboy /Flower Girl with a gift.

There is no surer method of having a wedding audience eating out of the palm of your hand than by presenting the Pageboy and/or Flower Girl with a gift. Compliment them both, tell them what a great job they did and then ask them to come up to you as you have something for them, then produce the gifts to rapturous applause.

2. Display a large poster-size photo of the Groom as a baby.

Rather than showing the photo from your laptop you should have a large print-out instead as it will be better received. Most places where you get your photo’s developed do this for a small charge but the reception you will receive once you unveil it to the wedding guests will make the cost more than worthwhile.

3. Pay tribute to your own wife or girlfriend.

On a sentimental occasion like a wedding, guests are teary-eyed with romance so any outward display of emotion on your behalf is sure to be greeted with loud approval. Keep this to a short line or two as it is important not to take the gloss from the Bride, but do praise your significant other, tell them how much you love them and joke that they shouldn’t feel jealous when you dance with the Maid of Honor.

4. Discuss what the Groom’s friendship means to you.

The feel-good factor already present in the room will swell if you tell a nostalgic story that ends with you telling the Groom how much his friendship means to you.

5. Present the fathers of the Newlyweds with a novelty gift.

Announce to the guests that the Groomsmen each made a donation to give the fathers of the Newlyweds a gift, and then unveil 2 pairs of socks to the delight of the guests. Once the laughter has calmed down present them with a genuine gift such as a bottle of champagne.

Incorporate some of these ideas into your Best Man speech and look forward with confidence to giving the Best Man speech of a lifetime.
