Best Man Wedding Speech Tips

Now when writing your best man wedding speech it is up to you to decide how much you want to joke, embarrass the groom, embarrass the bride, jest with the families and anyone else in the wedding party. But I would add a word of caution, you don’t want someone getting upset or people being put into a foul mood on a day that is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.

One thing that you can do is to give yourself an air of authority by making sure that you thank people for the work they have done, whether it was producing the lovely groom in the first place! or for making the wedding cake.

Coming across as an authority figure early on can allow you to get away with perhaps more than you might of before as people will see you as a leader figure.

Thanking people also makes you come across as humble and not egotistical which can also have a similar effect as the leader role.

Make sure that if you are telling anything which can come across as being negative or embarressing that you balence that with postive stories or flattery for their many skills and traits (yes, even the mother in law will have some positive traits!).

Perhaps you could mention how the bride and groom got together but put a twist into the story, exaggerate something or put a different perspective on how the groom tells the story. His will be all sugar and sweet, you can be a bit more edgy in your version.

Above all though remember the day is about the bride and groom so always finish with something upbeat, flattering and gracious. When I write a best man wedding speech the very last thing that I will do is a toast to the bride, groom and everlasting happiness. Even the most cynical of the audience will agree that is what the day is about.
