10.27.2009 · Posted in Home and Garden Articles

When writing a best man wedding toast, there are a lot of hurdles to overcome. In my experience, there are a few good tips you can follow, to make the ultimate toast that people will remember you for. These 5 tips I have gathered here can be used in practically every case of wedding speeches.nnTip 1: Introduce yourself at firstnnWhen starting your toast, you should introduce yourself. It is a fact, that at big weddings, many people might not know exactly who you are, or how you know the groom. Telling shortly who you are, how you know they groom and maybe your connections to the family, like the father, mother and bride is a good idea.nnTip 2: Be careful with humornnHumor is a killer tip for your wedding speech. This way you will capture the audience, and your speech will not just be a boring rambling. Put in some funny anecdotes or stories about you and the groom, but take care; don’t embarrass or humiliate anyone. Many wedding toasts end up being mood killers, because the speaker embarrasses the groom or the family. Keep the jokes in a sober tone.nnTip 3: Say something nice about the bridennMake sure that you have compliments enough for the bride in your speech. Don’t be too “flirty”, hit on the bride or anything; but make sure to state how lucky she is.nnTip 4: Be the groom’s spokespersonnnMake sure that you don’t embarrass the groom. Many people will judge the groom on the behavior of the best man, so don’t get too ***** or say ****** things. The toast will get much better, if you remember you are speaking for the groom.nnTip 5: Be a bit nostalgicnnIf you really want a great best man wedding toast, you have to tell a good story. It can be everything from at story about you and the groom, the beginning of the newly-weds relationship or just some funny story about the bridegroom. Remember that if people can relate to the story, it will move them. Make them laugh, but at the same time keep it clean and don’t offend anyone.
