It will definitely make you look more prepared if you have your speech with you rather than looking like you’re just up there winging it.
Make Eye Contact
Everyone knows that in order to deliver a good and engaging speech, you need to make an effort to connect with your audience.
Making eye contact with the people around you will help them to feel respected and involved in this exciting moment. If there are parts of your speech that are more directed at the newlyweds, feel free to direct your attention to them as well.
It will make the rest of that audience feel special that they are a part of this tribute to your best friend.
Breathe, And Have Fun!
Even though this can be an intimidating task for some, remember how much you and your best friend or family member care about each other.
Remember to take your time and take pauses between segments of your speech to give the audience a chance to react and you a chance to breathe! Try your best not to rush through your speech, and don’t be afraid to throw in some funny jokes or thoughtful anecdotes.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that you take the time as the best man to honor and congratulate the newly married couple!
