When your best friend asks you to be his best man at his wedding, your first thoughts are honor and happiness. Once the euphoria fades you realize you have to give a Best Man Speech as well. Oh, the horror! Panic sets in and the best man speech becomes the hardest part for most.
There is a reason you were chosen as “The Best Man” and there is an honor in the title you shouldn’t overlook and take for granted. If you have decided to accept then proceed correctly and give the best “best man speech” anyone has ever given.
The Best Man speech isn’t just about the groom, it is about the bride as well. Make sure not to offend and cause a scene. If you do so, you can kiss your “fishing trips” with the groom goodbye! Going on a bride’s blacklist is not what your main goal is!
Some people are made to stand up in front of a large number of people and deliver a speech with ease. Other people might not be as lucky and might even require some help. There is nothing wrong with needing help. If your car broke down and you aren’t a mechanic, you probably won’t go fixing it yourself with a youtube tutorial. When it comes to being given the honor to deliver the Best Man Speech there are certain rules to follow for the best outcome.

Buy your Best Man Speech

There is one way that is proven to be simpler and more efficient. You can purchase your best man speech online. All you have to do is give the necessary details and your speech can be made to your exact liking in almost in your own words. I personally have written many Best Man Speeches and in all honesty there is nothing more personal that entering someones friendship and creating a great speech that will be remembered for years to come.
No one has to know.

Take your Time

Make sure that once you start your best man speech you have enough time to complete it. Do not rush it in the hotel lobby at the wedding rehearsal dinner the day before the wedding.
Unless you are a professional writer, chances are that the words to your best man speech won’t just pour out of you like a 17th-century love sonnet.

Gather Information

Being the best man and giving the best man speech does not mean you saluting your “bro” and all the crazy memories you shared. It means that you have the honor to gather information about the bride and how they came to be. Maybe you don’t know how the couple met or how he proposed. Ask for all the details.

Compliment the Bride

No matter how “amazing” the bride might be, the last thing she wants on her wedding day is hearing how her husband went to Vegas once and did a small production of the “Hangover” with his besties! “Oh, the good times we had…”!
She already knows the stories, her grandmother doesn’t need to know them as well!

Compliment the Guests

At the beginning of your Best Man Speech, complimenting the bride on how amazing she looks is not enough. Compliment the guest as well. Tell them how amazing they “look this evening”. Having them on your side will make a great Best Man Speech.

Insert Jokes

The best types of speeches are the ones that go from serious to funny in a constant balance. Keeping them all on the tips of their toes is the main idea. Once they think the line is about how amazing the groom is, through in a funny joke.
Remember to not overdo it is key. Do not offend anyone except the groom. After all, you are his best man and his best friend, he is the only one that will forgive you.

Keep the Balance

Remembering to keep the balance in life is important and when it comes to best man speeches it is just as important. If you think mentioning how pretty the bride is at the beginning of the speech is enough, you are wrong!
Make sure to correct anything that might be amusing about the groom by offering the bride as the savior. This will win you “wife points” in the long run. We are assuming that you will want to watch the super bowl with your best “bro” for years to come. If so then this is the way to go.

Reminiscing

As part of the best man speech, going back to where and how you met the groom is usually a part that is rarely omitted. Unless you met in prison, and even that can be made funny. Maybe you have had the honor of meeting your best friend when you were young, maybe you met in college, or maybe you are relatively new friends. The story of how you came to be friends is pretty important.
Try not to use offensive words that will affect the bride.

End with Something Meaningful

No matter how funny your speech is, always end with something meaningful to show that this was not all a joke to you. Show that being the best man was something meaningful and you couldn’t be more honored to have been chosen.
Always conclude with a tip or a wish that you have for the newlywed couple.

Hocus Pocus and you are done…. Applause, applause… You will go down in history as the best, best man!
