These Are Some Useful Tips for an Amazing Best Man Speech!

1. Practice the Speech

This one is a no-brainer — you’ve gotta practice the speech. Once you’ve written it, read it out loud multiple times, maybe even in front of the mirror, to better understand how well-versed you are with it. Rehearse the speech until you get bored with it!

3. Share Funny Anecdotes

Nothing interests people more than funny anecdotes. A funny story will always be a hit and make your best man or maid of honour speech interesting. Tell funny stories that a lot of people already know so that at least a few of them can pitch in and add to the laughter!

4. The Ending Has Got to be Emotional

A great speech has to have a great ending and while your entire speech might have funny anecdotes, try and make the ending emotional. Your aim should be to end the speech with everyone saying, “Awww” or leaving the guests feeling wholesome.

5. Read the Room

You may have prepared a fantastic speech but if the crowd doesn’t find it entertaining, the same speech will be considered boring or not relevant. You must read the room before you start reciting the speech. Make tweaks well in advance and only put things that won’t be considered offensive or irrelevant.

6. Do NOT Get Drunk Before the Speech!

You may have been practising your best man or maid of honour speech for weeks but if you get drunk before reciting it, chances are you will fudge the speech and create a scene. Control sipping more than your body can take and once you’ve given the speech, you can start having fun!

7. Don’t be Afraid to Use Notes

It’s a common myth that if you use notes while giving a speech, people think you’re not prepared. On the other hand, notes are a great source for making sure you don’t miss out on any pointers and everything goes smoothly. Use your notes and be super confident about it!

8. Maintain Your Pace

Your speech’s content can be fantastic but if your pace is too fast or too slow, the guests will lose interest. It’s crucial to maintain the pace so make sure you practice well in advance. Also, make sure that you recite the speech in front of a few people so that they can tell you if your speech is clear and easy to understand.

9. Don’t Share Stories That The Parents Don’t Know

As a rule, make sure that none of your stories includes embarrassing or censored content that your friend’s parents don’t know of. If the parents don’t know this story then obviously the other guests won’t know and won’t approve of it. Stick to stories that at least the parents can enjoy and laugh at!

10. Avoid Anecdotes That Require a Long Back Story

Nobody wants to hear someone yap for long. People are there to enjoy and have a great time amongst each other. Ensure that your speech does not have anecdotes that require a long back story. By the time you end up explaining the plot, people will lose interest and would not be hearing when the best part comes.
