Plz help!! im gonna be my bro's best man ina a couple days i need tips on my speech?

Question

CAN SOME 1 GIVE ME TIPS ON MY SPEECH AND TO GET RID OF I GUESS U COULD KINDA CALL IT STAGE FRIGHT THNX

Answer 1

Speak from your heart. Your speech at some point indicate that you are happiness for your brother and new sister in law. As well as how much you value your relationship with your brother. To bring humor you might want to make a joke. If you feel nervous or think you might experience stage fright. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and acknowledge to yourself that you can do this. Then pick on familiar face in the audience to focus on while you make the speech. Good luck to you and congratulations.......

Answer 2

Speak from your heart...a big no-no is do not tell any inside jokes. You and your bro might think it is funny, but if it has nothing to do with the speech then leave it out. Make sure you tell them how happy you are that you were chosen for the spot and what a great couple they are, etc. If you don't like speaking in front of large groups, then make it short and to the point. There is no limit on how long it has to be so feel free to say your piece and sit down :)

Answer 3

From a recent wedding I went to where the best man's speech did not go down well, here's a few tips:

* don't make it an epic - you're not the only one speaking and the guests only have a limited attention span so keep it short and snappy

* don't go overboard with the embarassing memories - people say to steer clear of things that would make your granny blush (as she'll probably be sitting right there at the front of the room!), especially if the groom's parents etc don't know about some of his more colourful capers

* keep it meaningful but light-hearted - don't go overboard with the sappy stuff as you want people to enjoy it

Answer 4

I've done it before. One drink, tops. If you look or sound buzzed, no matter what you say won't be viewed sincerely. I like short toasts. It's a toast, not a roast. People are standing there with their glasses up, don't talk about the old days for 10 minutes. Don't focus one word of it on you, it's about them. In fact, as the best man your job is to make sure that ALL of the focus is on them for the day. Make sure you compliment / flatter the bride. A nice quote is always a thoughtful gesture, but most of it should just come from the heart. You'll do fine. Good luck.

Answer 5

best tip of all other than drink a little first.. your speech should come from your heart.. not some written thought out something or other written on an index card.. its so much more heartfelt.. if you just let it flow from within.. good luck

Answer 6

At the wedding I was at last weekend my friend made a speech where he asked the bride to put her hand out in front of her and he then asked the groom to put his hand on hers.. he asked him.. how does that feel? you wait for him to answer or look at you like your crazy and you say something like.. "yeah, i hope it feels good, enjoy it because its the last time you'll ever have the upper hand in anything ever again!" it was hilarious.

Answer 7

There's no point planning a speech. Just be yourself, in that way what to say will simply flow and you'll get it right

Answer 8

don't try to remember a script. just keep it short and sweet, but most of all speak straight from the heart...good luck! :)

Answer 9

have a glass of wine just prior to the speech.

Think of a silly story to tell, and talk about your brother's good qualities, what he has taught you, etc and why his wife is lucky to have him, and then list good qualities of her (if she has any) and say how lucky he is to have her
