Suggestions for What to Say during a Best Man Toast...

A Best Man Toast - What To Say

Nothing is as embarrassing as standing up to give a best man toast and having no idea what to say.  By having a good idea of how the best man toast should flow, you’ll be able to give a smooth and meaningful speech that will be remembered by everyone at the reception.

You should start your best man toast by introducing yourself and giving the guests an idea of your relationship to the groom.  At most
receptions, a good number of the guests will not be well acquainted with the wedding party, and the best man toast is a great place to break the ice.

Your best man toast should then continue to tell a little bit about your relationship to the groom, and some of the good times you’ve had together.  Telling a funny or sentimental story will warm the hearts of the guests and the wedding couple alike, but try to leave out anything too embarrassing or controversial.  Stories involving other women have no place in your best man toast!

Don’t forget to mention the bride during your best man toast.  Although your relationship with the groom might be much closer, you don’t want the bride to feel left out.  A story about the positive impact the bride has made on the groom’s life is an excellent addition to a best man toast.

Finish up your best man toast with something sentimental.  Tell the wedding couple how much they mean to you, or let the groom know how happy you are for him.  This will end your best man toast on a happy and upbeat note.
