It's a great honour to be asked to be the best man at a friend or family members' wedding.
If you have never been given the duty before, you might be nervous about putting together a best man funny speech.
Well don't worry too much - even the most naturally funny and confident people get nervous when it comes to public speaking in front of a lot of people.
Simply follow these tips and you'll know exactly how to start preparing for the big night.
My number 1 tip for calming best man speech nerves is to make sure you prepare as fully as you can.
If you leave anything to the last minute then chances are it will play on your mind and make you far more nervous than you need be.
If you know that everything is ready and in its place as far as your speech is concerned, you'll be able to relax and be much more comfortable when you stand up to deliver the speech.
Secondly, don't drink too much before your speech.
Save it til afterward.
This way you reduce the risk of embarrassing yourself and worse still offending your audience.
Not only this but if you're too drunk you won't be able to follow your notes very well.
Use a killer opening line, to start things off on a high.
If you can make everyone laugh with a hilarious one liner at the very start of your speech, chances are you'll have them in the palm of your hand.
