Essential Secrets to Best Man Etiquette in the Best Man Speech

While delivering your best man speech it is very important that you remember the tradition and etiquette attached with it.

1. • Best Man Funny Wedding Speech
     
     The best man is generally expected and required to give a funny wedding speech or funny best man speech to be precise, so the entire speech should be in a sarcastic manner.  You need to still be appropriate and be sure not to upset anyone or hurt anyone’s feelings.
   • Father of the Bride or Father of the Groom Funny Wedding Speech
     
     In the father’s speech they are expected to tell how proud they are of their daughter/son, plus welcome their new son/daughter-in-law into the family.  Try to keep the humor to a minimum, but can use it in the beginning and end of speech.
   • Groom Funny Wedding Speech
     
     For the groom’s speech I suggest no humor be used at all.  The groom’s speech is supposed to be strictly formal and thankful, so please do this sincerely.
   • Matron or Maid of Honor Funny Wedding Speech
     
     I extremely caution women not to give funny wedding speeches because they ordinarily turn out in a disaster.  But if you feel you have the sense of humor that is needed, give it a whirl.
   • Other Funny Wedding Speech
     
     As a general rule, unless you have a really good sense of humor and cannot hold your jokes in, then I suggest you try to give a formal wedding speech as opposed to a funny wedding speech.  They are less likely to turn out a disaster, and they are much easier to prepare.

Let the Best Man Wedding Toast Rest



Now that you have the best man speech written, the majority of the work is done.  Let yourself and your speech rest for a day or two without looking at it at all (unless of course you have waited until the last minute, then you can’t!).  If you do not have many days left until the wedding, or if it is the wedding day, try to let your wedding toast rest for at least 30 minutes.

After the groom is properly roasted, you should maybe offer some humorous tidbits about marriage, offering advice at the same time.

Now it is time for you to get emotionally involved by offering a couple of close to the heart comments regarding the happy couple.

Finally, you can make a joyful toast to the bride and groom and be done with it!

So as you see, it is not very difficult to construct the proper best man speech using the best man speech structure offered above. It can actually be a very fun and rewarding experience when done correctly.

Thanking and Greeting the Guests

Even though we are focusing on funny best man speeches, this part should always be a little bit on the formal side.  An opening joke would be good to get everyone’s attention, but then you should sincerely thank the guests for attending this evening and thank them for supporting your friends.

Father of the bride speeches are just a small part of being the father of the bride.  Everyone is always happy to see the father escort his daughter down the aisle and hand her to the groom.  It the most touching symbol of a wedding.  Shouldn’t your father of the bride speech be as touching?

First, it doesn’t have to be long.  Take a piece of paper and fill it 2/3 full of stories about your daughter’s life, amusing anecdotes, and how you feel about your new son-in-law to be.  That should take care of it.  It’s actually more than you think.  Talk about your daughter’s childhood dreams, a short story about how you knew she was in love, and what her getting married means to you.  You don’t have to be a comedy act, just talk from the heart.

Do write your wedding speech out!  You don’t have to read it but it will help you keep track of what you want to say.  It will also keep you from rambling on when you forget the words you want to say.  One thing to avoid is the clichés about picking up the bill for the wedding.  They’re over used and in bad taste.  You do want your father of the bride rehearsal dinner speech to convey how you feel about your daughter’s new life.  

Practice in front of a few people and keep practicing until it sounds natural to you.  Then you’ll be ready to give your father of the bride speech at the rehearsal dinner.

If the rehearsal dinner is a formal one the toasts begin with the first course.  The host is usually the father of the groom and he will welcome the guests and thank the bride’s parents for their daughter and for hosting the wedding.  It’s your turn next as the father of the bride with your own best wishes and anything else you want to say. 

You can always get personalized gift certificates; it's perfectly acceptable these days. It also makes it much easier on you to find the right best man gifts. But the thought behind the gift is the most important.

It wouldn't be tasteful to get cuff links (the standard best man gifts when you don't know what else to get your best man) when the only time he would ever wear them is at the wedding. Try to choose something that will leave an impression you thought about his needs and not just picked the first thing in the store. Also, try to remember his best man speech will come after you give him his gift.

The best gift you can give your best man is the one that is associated with a memorable event that he will treasure just as you will treasure his best man speech.

It has become time honored to rib the groom and spill some of his secrets during your best man speech. The most honorable thing you can do is to find wedding quotes or marriage quotes that fit your thoughts for the groom and his bride. Not just any quote or a quote that's been used by hundreds of men. But that one quote that expresses your wishes for the happy couple.
