Themes You Could Use in Your Best Man Speech

By Joseph Rasmussen


Almost al of us have listened to good and not so good best man speeches in our lifetime. It is quite easy to distinguish between the superior best man speeches and the inferior ones - right attitude, getting ready, combined with realizing the significance of the rapport between the best man and his friend, brother or cousin, the groom that is.

To begin with, a quality best man speech is going to have a comfortable presentation. A poor best man speech is usually presented with no self-confidence, which makes the listeners awkward. An absence of self-assurance will most likely make the presentation of the best man speech to become hurried, and not surprisingly leaving you embarrassed.

Subsequently, best man speeches are essentially more effective if there's imagination and willing to take action. Several best man speeches are spoiled by impromptu execution. A number of best men might be influenced to make an unplanned speech relying on the mistaken notion that it's going to be more original and heartfelt. This is an approach that will get you off the track from he word go.

Best man speeches must be crafted well in advance of the reception, so that the speech is not written while nursing a hangover on the eve or morning of the wedding. A best man speech should be written several days before its delivery so that the best man can practice his delivery. This will ensure a smoother delivery of the best man speech than one that has been haphazardly prepared and rehearsed.

Lastly, best man speeches need to catch the heart and soul of the connection involving the best man and the groom. The most significant best man speeches are genuine and heartfelt and provide comprehension of what has cast the best man and groom's companionship or connection as time passed.

Anecdotes referenced in a best man speech should be tasteful. Best man speeches should never reference prior relationships of the groom or his sexual exploits. This does not mean that the anecdotes have to be stiff and dry. Funny, yet tasteful anecdotes have a welcome place in best man speeches.

Should these principles of a quality best man speech are put into practice, it would establish a sustained effect on both the newlyweds as well as the guests.
