Step-by-step guide to creating

your own funny best man speech

Funny Best Man Speeches - Right First Time!

Your best friend, has been for years, surprises you one day, and asks you if you want to be his best man. Of course you say Yes. But now the big day is not very far away and your initial enthusiasm has given way to fingernail-gnawing terror -- can you really do what he wants? You will have to stand in front of all those wedding reception guests -- most of them strangers -- and give a fantastic best man speech! But what worries you most of all is: just how in the world are you going to make the thing funny? 'Cos they have to be funny, don't they?

Wait a moment, and calm down. The plain fact is that writing funny best man speeches is not as difficult as you might think, provided you follow a few simple tips. And what's more, making your speech so that it makes people smile can help you relax, deliver your speech better, and make others smile too.

Here are the important tips:

You are already on the inside track! Think about it: you're the bridegroom's best friend, so you have a lot of memories to choose from. All you need to do is pull out a handful of funny things that happened (sometimes one or two will be enough), and you can describe what happened -- just remember to describe the events using simple words and don't use a lot of complex description. One other point: don't embarrass him too much -- remember that will be things that are okay to speak about with him private, but out in the open is another thing entirely! 

Tailor your material to the audience: There will almost certainly be children or elderly people on the guest list -- people who will not appreciate raucous or "adult" material. Equally, there may well be guests from all sorts of backgrounds and environments, and you must not offend them. Remember that your primary role is to honor the married couple, not embarress them in front of their friends and relations. The humorous stories in the speech really ought to be simple and uncomplicated -- you don't want your audience falling asleep or feeling embarrassed for you. And "funny" should not be taken to mean "humiliating" -- your aim is for everyone to like your speech, not ruin the newlyweds' special day. If you are not sure, have a chat with some of the groom's relatives to see what they think about your speech; remember you want to remain the groom's best man for years to come!

Snappy is best: You should open your speech with a quick one-liner to show how you mean to go on; and a chuckle from everyone, no matter how short, will go a long way towards putting you at ease too. Finish your speech with one more quick one-liner, and that way all the guests everyone will be in a good mood humor for the rest of the day.

Take it easy! A speech from the best man isn't just about the words you say -- it is also the way you say them. Start by standing up straight -- you can do this more easily if you place your feet slightly apart, as this helps you to relax while standing: and when you relax it improves your delivery, and smile more easily during your speech -- and that helps your delivery too. Make sure you speak slowly and deliberately, making sure your entire audience can hear and understand you. Using notes is a must (if only to provide you with that little extra confidence), but don't refer to them all of the time; you should attempt to look around the room and get eye contact now and then, especially with the bride and groom. Don't try some "Dutch courage" before your speech, or you may ruin everything and spoil the whole day.

When you get right down to it, keep it in your head that this day is the bride and groom's special day. Make sure your speech includes something that is heart-warming and complimentary about the two of them and how their life will be good from now on.

Just follow these few simple tips, practice your speech until you almost know it backwards, and your best man speech will be a great success! Have a great time!
