your own funny best man speech

Funny Best Man Speeches - Get Them Right First Time!

So, your best friend has asked you to be best man at his wedding, it's only a few short weeks away now, and your initial feelings of gratitude has now changed to white-knuckle nerves -- can you really do this? How are you going to be able to stand in front of all those people -- many of them strangers -- give a great speech that any best man would be proud of, and perhaps the most important of all: how on earth are you going to make it funny?

First of all: stop, take a few deep breaths, and relax. Creating and giving funny best man speeches is a piece of cake if you only follow a few simple guidelines. Not only that, but if you make your speech humorous it can help you to relax and substantially reduce your own nerves at the wedding reception.

This is what you need to remember:

You are in the best position! Remember: you're the bridegroom's best mate, and you have plenty of background material to draw on. You must not embarrass him too much -- remember that events you can talk about with him in private are not necessarily ones you can talk about in public, especially when he cannot easily respond! You just need a couple of amusing things from your joint past, and make sure you can describe these events in simple terms without needing a lot of complicated exposition.

Do not be inappropriate: The guests at most wedding receptions includes children and the elderly, plus there are likely to be people from many backgrounds, cultures, and liefstyles. So you must be careful with your humor -- you should avoid "blue" and "mature" themes, and please make sure you do not run the risk of offending anyone at all. Your place is to honor the newlyweds -- and that's all, really. The jokes in your speech should also be simple and straightforward so that your audience does not fall asleep -- or feel embarrassed for you. Finally, "funny" is definitely not the same as "humiliating". Again, you want both of them to love your speech, not hate you forever for ruining their day. Talk to some of his relatives to check the stories are appropriate -- and remember that you want to remain his best friend after the wedding!

Use short, sharp jokes: Begin the speech with a one-liner to break the ice and put everyone at their ease -- and that includes you! End the speech with another one-liner, and everyone will continue to be in good humor for the rest of the reception.

Chill out, man! A best man's speech isn't just the words -- it is also the way they are said. You should stand with feet apart (not too much!) and you will find you can relax but at the same time still stand up straight. When you relax it is likely that your delivery will be improved, and you will find it easier to smile during your speech -- and that helps a lot. You should speak slowly and deliberately, and make sure that all of the guests can hear you and understand you. Use notes, but you should not refer to them all the time -- try to maintain some eye contain with guests around the room, particularly the bride and groom. Avoid alcohol before your speech, or you risk ruining everything before you start.

Ultimately, your guiding principle should be that the day is all about the bride and groom; so make sure you say something heart-warming and complimentary about them and their life ahead.

If you follow this guidance, and make sure to practice your speech until it is entirely familiar and you can be relaxed about it, you will find your speech will be a fantastic success! Good luck!
