Golden Tips for Writing a Best Man Toast
If you are thinking about writing a best man wedding toast, you should look closely to these 5 golden tips that I give you in this article. These tips comes from my personal experience with writing my own best man wedding speech, and I hope it will help you writing yours.
Tip 1: Introduce yourself at first
It is very important that you begin by introducing before you start on the actual toast. Many people might not know you, if you are attending a big wedding, so it will be good to, shortly and precise, tell everybody who you are and how you know the groom and maybe also the bride.
Tip 2: Be careful with humor
Now this is an important part of your wedding speech; make people laugh. But be very careful with this, and don’t over-do it – it can easily go very wrong if you embarrass or humiliate the groom, bride or wedding guests. Make a few jokes, but keep its sober. Remember there are kids, grandparents and a lot of important guests at the wedding.
Tip 3: Say something nice about the bride
Make 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.
Tip 4: Speak on behalf of the groom
Remember that the day is all about the newly-weds. As a best man, you also speak on behalf of the groom in your toast, and the guests will judge the groom on your behavior. Make sure to keep the toast clean, sober and funny.
Tip 5: Be a bit nostalgic
If 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.
