Top Tips for the Best Man Speech

It’s very true that most people are never more terrified than when they have to give a speech, even more so when it’s at an important event such as a wedding in front of friends and family. There are three very simple things all Best Men-to-be out there need to know and I’m going to share them with you!

1. Be yourself. Let your best friend see how happy you are for him, how your heart bursts with gladness to see him with the woman of his dreams. Don’t let him see how pleased you are he’s no longer available to pull the birds you were after at the pub….

2. Stories can be tasteful and funny. It’s true! The one about his awkwardness with girls is great, the one about when he met her he was really more interested in her best friend isn’t.

3. Remember you are with friends. They are looking to you to reflect their love and support for two people who mean the world to them, so just share your true feelings. Really. No punchline.

About Vanessa King

Mother, Speaker, Singer, Toastmaster. This year I seem to have stumbled into two leadership positions at the same time, president of Guildford Speakers Club and chairman of Guildford Harmony Ladies Barbershop Chorus. The positions of leadership may be accidental, but the success of my tenure isn't so I'm doing all I can to find out what successful leadership is all about.
