More Ideas For Making Best Man Toasts



Being the best man at a wedding can be wonderful and stressful at the same time. As the best man, you get to watch your close friend leave the single life and become a happily married man. At the same time, you also have to come up with a great and memorable best man toast at the reception. In many television shows and in real life as well, coming up with a toast as the best man can be difficult. The best man probably knows a good deal about the groom of the wedding so writing a toast may not be as hard as one thinks.

When writing a best man speech, some may recommend talking to groom about what you might say. In many movies, we see the best man reveal a little too much about the groom’s past and those stories get the groom in a lot of trouble. A best man wants to make his toast memorable but not in a negative way. Most people start out with a joke as an introduction for the best man toasts. Then you would want to thank all of the guests for coming to the wedding. Introduce yourself to the crowd and let them know your relationship with the groom.

In the best man speech, you may want to share a story about you and the groom. Some best men talk about how he and the groom first met. Some may even reveal how they hated each other at first but then came to be best friends. Regardless, the story should be short and simple. These stories may help you describe some of the good qualities that will make the groom and great husband.

When toasting the newlyweds, the best must make sure to compliment the bride as well. It is her wedding day and she is sure to look nothing short of beautiful. Explain to the bride that she has made the right choice in choosing her husband. You can even throw in a couple jokes if you want but make sure not to make the groom look to bad.

When closing the best man toast, it is always encouraging to say something inspirational. You are watching your good friend get married and you only want what’s best for him. Some people may find a quote that applies or some may speak whatever comes to their mind. Make sure to wish the bride and groom long life, prosperity, and a wonderful, healthy marriage. If you are already married, let the couple know that you are there for advice and support whenever needed. Lastly, make sure to officially toast to the new married couple. Have everyone raise their drinks in the air and join you in congratulating the newlyweds.

The best man speech or toast is still a public speaking matter so it its important to practice the speech over and over again. Try not to procrastinate writing the speech or the toast even if you may dread the process. Most of all, make sure to have fun because a wedding is a memorable occasion and a happy time for the couple and everyone involved.
