So, you’re the best man at your best friend’s upcoming nuptials. You know your duty. You have to lead off the evening with a best man speech. You have three weeks left, and you have no idea where to begin. You want it to be meaningful. You want it to be funny.

And you want to NOT throw up while giving it. Where should you start? Here are five basic rules for you to follow to give amazing best man speeches.

Tips for Best Man Speeches

Keep it short and sweet

This is not the time for a 20 minute monologue. There will be lots of people who want to speak. You don’t want to monopolize the floor. Wedding guests have a short attention span. They want to get on with the show. Don’t wear out their patience or your message will be lost.

Also, don’t use overly difficult wording that may cause you to stumble over the speech. Give the speech like you talk in conversation.

Tell them who you are

Many people will already know who you are. But many might not. Especially if you are an out-of-towner. Tell everyone your name. Then, explain how you met the groom or how long you have been friends.

Look the groom in the eye
