Here is my top advice for all best man speeches. Proper practice is vital for all best man speeches to be successful. Make sure you practice your speech for many hours before the wedding. Best Man speeches need to be taken seriously, so speak slowly when practicing so you have the ability to pronounce all the words when you actually perform the speech. Smile every once in a while and don’t stand up to stiff in the back. Placing eye contact on the Bride and Groom is useful, but so is engaging with the actual audience. Look at their foreheads instead of their eyes to avoid glaring at individuals. I have heard a lot of best man speeches and I always respect a sentimental speech. Best man speeches made this way are constructed to be very emotional and probably produce a few tears in the audience. My own best man speech was written with a lot of fond memories of growing up with the Groom, stuff we did when we were young. I used a lot of one liners with my detailed anecdotes so everyone was laughing and feeling happy for the marriage. Nice best man speeches also compliment the Bride, because it is her day as much as the Groom’s, don’t forget that.
