I have a "top secret" link for some funny best man wedding toasts , so guard it with your life. I'll put it in later - have to find the wedding speeches website first....
I think many know the feeling of leaving the best man wedding speech for the last minute! Yes, we laugh (or cringe) in hindsight but in that moment it was dire straits.
My own situation was pretty desperate, but luckily I had a brain surge...I turned to the internet - googled funny best man wedding toasts , or maybe funny best man speeches , anyway, the point is I found Dan Steven's best man wedding speeches . A small fee of only 19/20 dollars (check - it could be more now) that was the beginning of a cunning plan... selected my best man wedding toast that suited my character, the circumstances and the stiffness ratio of the audience (didn't want to offend too much...).
I'm man enough to say I copied (and pasted) most of my chosen best man wedding toast, added a few of their jokes included some personal (but not too embarrassing) stories about the bride and groom, and other victims. And was staring at the completed toast on my monitor in about 40 minutes! I would love to say it was my own genious and hard work that deserved the credit, but I think it was really their easy structure to work from (and of course my genious!)
It was so great having the pressure off like that! I could immediately relax and concentrate on other much more important things - like organizing the liquor, and other less important things like wedding licenses etc.
The speech went down a storm (even with the high guest stiffness ratio) I was told it sounded very professional - that's a first. People laughed a lot, with me and not at me - that's also a first. And considering the ease, speed and peace of mind, I would go that route again, no problems.
Some good tips for your best man wedding toast:
- Personalize your best man wedding toast as much as possible - definitely connects better with the audience, that way.
- Try not to put anyone in a negative light (not too much anyway).
- If you can be sentimental , great, if you can fake being sentimental, even better (just kidding), if you can be both sentimental and funny, then you have a winner.
Hope I helped with your funny best man wedding toast - and good luck, and enjoy, it's a fantastic opportunity and a privilege.
