Most guys say ‘okay’ to their friends’ invitation to act as their best men without a thought. After all, it’s nice to hear that your friend is getting married. Then, reality sets in. You remember that along that invitation comes the responsibility to write and deliver the best mans speeches. Unless you had some training in public speaking, you’ll find this part of the job a bit anxiety-provoking. This is worsened by the fact that you’ll have to speak in front of your friends, families and guests who might know you personally. Hopefully, the pointers below can help prepare you for this task.

Be sincere as well as natural. It’s not like you have to sell yourself to the crowd that you need to electrify them with your speech. During occasions like this and with an audience like your friends, being natural is the best tactic to capture and hold their attention. So try to act and sound as natural as you can. If you act naturally, ten to one, you can win the audience.

Remember that you are among people whom you know well and who know that you’re not a professional speaker – your friends, the bride and the groom, their parents and some close friends. So there really is no need to impress them with an electrifying speech. Also, it is much easier for the audience to watch a natural speaker as he tends to be more entertaining and pleasing than someone who treats it like a state of the nation address.

To read or not. You can always have your speech memorized, write key points in point cards, or combine the two together. Chances are if you memorize your speech in verbatim, you’ll likely to forget some parts of your speech. Unless you can pull a memorized speech successfully, you’d have to improvise. With that said, it’s perfectly okay to memorize your speech but it’s not okay to bank your speech entirely on your memory. To ensure that you deliver your speech smoothly, it is recommended to have some small idiot cards handy where parts of your speech are written. On a side note, keep in mind that the opening sentence is informal and does not necessarily need a script.

Get prepared. Don’t write your speech the night before the wedding or worse on the day of the wedding. Even if you are confident in your skills for delivering extemporaneously, it is still better to have something prepared. This conditions you to become more conversant on the moment you deliver your speech, making the process easier for you and your listeners.

Keep it interesting and brief. A speech that is longer than 5 minutes, unless you have a knack for holding your audience’s attention, could be a little too boring. So try to keep your speech concise, entertaining and naturally funny.

Pass up on alcohol. Stay away from the punch bowl until after you’re done with your speech. Although alcohol can help your nerves, it doesn’t help you with your speech.
