Best man wedding speeches are not a piece of cake, but it also doesn’t take an Einstein in order to create an impressive and lasting one.  Just make sure that you exert the effort in preparing for it aside from your other roles (i.e., stag party) in order to not have anything to stress about.

Before you start jotting down your notes, try to have a visual of the person you are supposed to describe, the groom.  What are the things that he enjoys, what would make him tick?  Make sure to pattern your best man speech according to what the groom enjoys and make sure to assess his whole persona.  It also helps to include little funny things about the groom, as long as it’s safe to say out loud.  It is important to consider the type of responsibility the groom has since you would want to make everything coordinate, including the speech itself.  

Best man wedding speeches don’t necessarily have to take up much time.  Just keep them short and simple, but not too short that reflects your attitude of not being able to exert effort towards your role as the best man.  Just enough time between 5 to 10 minutes is alright.  

At the reception, it is inevitable to have a few drinks as this is a celebration but make sure that you are considerate enough not to take too much before your speech.  You wouldn’t want the outcome to be all messed up.  Bear in mind that taking on the responsibility stops you from having fun before you deliver your best man speeches.

The delivery will more or less be smooth sailing once you get through the first part of your best man wedding speeches.  The first 15 seconds will either make or break the whole speech itself.  Remember though not to start a big bang with a joke or something that would be outrageous.  You can start joking around on the latter part of the speech.  

Regardless of the various best man wedding speeches you have given or heard, one thing should be noticed.  It is always a combination of informality and respect towards the couple and other people in attendance.
