What To Say In A Best Man Speech - Entertainment

Giving a best man speech is not always easy. Sometimes, you have to try to watch what you're saying or else you'll be giving away a lot of embarrassing or inappropriate stories about the groom and his wife. This brings us to this question: What to say in a best man speech? Well, lucky for you, some tips and tricks on writing a best man speech is on the way. So, read on!

The most basic secret is, of course, to plan ahead. Do the preparations for your speech way ahead of time. The reason behind this is that the longer you have the speech in your head, the better it will turn out to be. What most people do is to make the mistake of preparing their speech the night before they are to deliver it. As it often turns out, they miss out on some of the things that they want to say and they forget what to say next in the middle of their speech, which is, I must say, quite embarrassing.

To help you prevent that, you can also write an outline and a draft on a set of note cards. This will help you to go about your speech smoothly, without stopping in the middle of your speech simply because you have forgotten what to say next. As for some people, what they do is to memorize the outline and then deliver the speech spontaneously. But don't try this unless you're really good at talking in front of a crowd.

As for the content of your best man speech, you may begin it with a timely joke, and follow it by thanking the parents and the person who presided over the ceremony. You may also try to tell a funny anecdote about the newly wed couple, and wish them a happy marriage and a great family to follow.

Remember not to ever mention ex girlfriends, ex wives, or ex relations in your speech. Doing so will mar the whole program. Plus, you might get kicked out by the bride herself. Watch out for what you are saying. Some people are more sensitive than others, and some topics are just inappropriate for wedding receptions. Another reminder is to make your speech as short as five to ten minutes. The guests are there to enjoy the proceedings anyway, and not to hear a long and dragging speech by the best man.

You see, knowing what to say in a best man speech will keep you from being embarrassed and from being kicked out of the wedding reception by either the bride or the groom.
