Chances are, if you've been chosen as a best man, you know the groom pretty well. You're also aware by now that you'll be expected to make a best man speech - a toast - at the wedding reception. If you need help preparing this speech, here are a few tips to bear in mind.

*Prepare! Don't make it up on the fly. Even if you're the most quick-witted and glib person around (and maybe you are!), you can't rely on chance; anyone's mind could go completely blank when it's time to make a speech.

At least jot down a few points or key phrases if you don't want to write it out word-for-word ahead of time.

*Humor is good, but don't forget to be serious. Sure those are conflicting elements, but it's important to remember. If you're not a little bit funny, you could wind up boring the wedding guests.

However, it's imperative to remember that your best man speech is a tribute to a couple's new life together. The bride and groom are taking their marriage seriously. They need you to acknowledge and respect that. While sarcasm might be fun in the right situations, it is very dangerous territory and should NEVER be used in a wedding speech.

*Be concise. Please don't ramble on. Practice at least once in front of one other person!if their eyes start to glaze over, find something to cut!

*Careful with the anecdotes. Whatever you do, avoid telling stories about old wives and girlfriends, and avoid reminding all the guests about something particularly embarrassing. This won't endear you to your friend's new wife. You want your buddy's wife to like you at least a little, or you won't be seeing him much after the wedding!

*Share something you like - something appropriate! - about the bride. Don't forget, you want to be endearing yourself to her.

*Above all, be sincere. You were chosen as best man for a reason. Remember that, and share your joy in your good friend's happiness, and your best man speech (http://www.bestmanspeeches.org/best-man-speech.html) will be remembered with thanks.
