What is special about a best man's speech?

As best man you have several duties, one of which is to give an entertaining speech. You need to make people laugh without offending anyone. This can be tricky.

Your speech will tell a story - how you met the groom (and what you thought of him), how the bride and groom met, or maybe other anecdotes about them.

Are you ready to write a well-organised speech?

You must make every word count - if the speech is too long, or loses the plot in places, your audience will get bored. Could our pack of best man speeches help you deliver a better speech with much less work?

Paradoxically it is easier to write a long speech than to write a short one that does the same job. As Mark Twain said: "It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech."

Best man's speech essentials

• The best man's speech is the last of the three speeches traditional at a wedding.
• He usually begins by recounting how he first met the groom.
• Then there are thanks to the groom for his toast, on behalf of the bridesmaids, ushers, and other helpers.
• It is the 'best man' who talks about the groom's life, experiences, and qualities.
• Some jokes and anecdotes about the groom are usually welcome, and also perhaps some about the bride and groom, such as how they met.
• The best man leads a toast to the parents.
• Traditionally the finale is the reading of telegrams, cards and emails from people unable to attend. If there are many, it is pefectly appropriate to read just a selection.

[The best man's speech is traditionally the last. If the bridegroom and the bride's father before you are brilliant, you may find yourself full of nerves about how to follow them. And if they were not so brilliant - your audience may be restless and heading for the bar.]

A few more tips:

• Never mention past relationships – If in doubt about how to handle previous marriages, ask the bride & groom.
• You may know the groom better than the families, and inadvertently mention details that would shock. Beware!
• Humour could seem offensive to some of the audience. To avoid this, check it with a close friend, particularly a girl.
• Use Bruno’s Column to create original humour and punch-lines for your stories and anecdotes.
