Is SpeechyAI For You?

Are you a professional comedian? Do you regularly write and present speeches? Are you well-versed in the modern wedding speech do’s and don’ts?

If not, SpeechyAI might be for you.

Next… Do you hate the thought of rehashing Goggled gags and lame wedding gags? Are you strapped for time and money but know you need help?  Are you getting flashbacks of all the terrible best man speeches you’ve had to witness in the past?

If so, SpeechyAI is definitely your new best friend.

Let’s face it, not everyone possesses the natural flair for public speaking or the ability to effortlessly weave humour and sentiment into a coherent narrative.

Enter SpeechyAI, the revolutionary AI Best Man Speech Generator from Speechy.

Designed to alleviate the pressure of crafting an unforgettable speech, SpeechyAI leverages cutting-edge technology to create personalise, eloquent, and entertaining speeches. And how does it do that? Well, the human team behind Speechy has to take a bit of credit…

An Independent Review

when  Tie the Knot  asked if we’d be happy for couples to test out SpeechyAI we had no hesitation.

And, honestly? We don’t think we could have written a better review ourselves!

Mark, one of the grooms taking part in the publications Planning Diaries series, said everything we could have hoped him to and more!

– ‘It was like having a conversation with a friend’

– ‘It was like reliving our love story, one hilarious memory at a time’

– ‘The tool crafted a masterpiece; funny, heartfelt and tailored to our story’

– ‘It was like a comedian providing the punchlines and an editor polishing the paragraphs’

Score? 10/10 – plus extra brownie points for pre-wedding peace of mind

Speechy Expertise

SpeechyAI has not been designed by a bunch of AI geeks. Instead, it’s been lovingly developed by the speechwriters at Speechy; an elite team of TV scriptwriters and professional comedians.

The team have

• Written for a range of BBC comedy and entertainment shows (TV and radio)
• Appeared as the wedding speech expert on BBC Sounds Best Men podcast with Jason Manford and Steve Edge
• Written the new wedding speech bible for couples ‘The Modern Couple’s Guide to Wedding Speeches’ published by Little, Brown
• Featured everywhere from The New York Times to The Times, The Daily Mail to Brides, and even The Drew Barrymore Show

The team has spent nine months building and testing SpeechyAI and programmed it with all our best speechwriting tips and techniques. No wonder it’s so bloody good.

How The Hell Does It Work?

You might just want to head straight to the chase and check out our SpeechyAI product page where there’s even more detail, but in summary, it works by asking you a series of questions online.

There’s about 40-50 of them but you don’t need to answer them all. Some of them are essential information but a lot of them are just prompts to help you think about the possible content SpeechyAI can possibly play with. Basically, the more it has to consider, the better your speech will be.

You can bash out your answers in about 45 minutes, but you don’t need to do this in one hit. You can start and come back to it another day.

Incorporating personal details, memorable moments and little insights, allows SpeechyAI to generate a speech that feels authentic, intimate and original.

When you feel you’ve added enough, you can then submit the content for SpeechyAI to work its magic.

AI utilises advanced natural language processing algorithms to generate a speech that’s based on your unique responses. And, here’s the thing… it can hunt out opportunities for humour and make you sound like a comedy genius. No joke.

‘I was honestly stunned by the quality of some of the lines that SpeechyAI generated in our period of testing. Gags that would have probably taken my hours to come up with, it generated in three minutes’, s ays Speechy founder, Heidi Ellert-McDermott.

While the overall speech (luckily for the Speechy team) wasn’t quite up to the standard of the human writer’s work (which comes with a price tag of £499 and a turnaround time of around a fortnight), there was no doubt that it was an excellent and ambitious junior team member.

‘We believe there’s still a strong market for the human ghostwriter but we’re proud SpeechyAI offers expert help and original wit at such an affordable price. It really is remarkable. I’m hopeful it’s going to kill off all those blooming awful best man ‘jokes’ that make so many wedding speeches so cringy’, says Heidi.  

Okay, So It Can Be Funny, But Can It Write A Flowing Speech?

Yep, it can.  SpeechyAI knows how to create a strong structure and compelling narrative. It knows a best man speech needs to be humorous but it also knows it needs to be a heartfelt tribute to a true friend too.

SpeechyAI also recognises the importance of paying a tribute to the groom’s partner and ticking off all the essential speech etiquette, including ideal length (between six and nine minutes delivery ideally; never longer than ten!).

Will The Speech Be Perfect?

No. First drafts rarely are.

SpeechyAI (like even the best human speechwriter) might misinterpret an anecdote slightly or it may produce a line or two that you just don’t like or that doesn’t sound genuinely ‘you’.

That’s why we’ve also created an Edit function that splits the speech into sections, where you can either edit the speech yourself or get AI to do it for you.

Is It A Cop-Out?

Well, in the same way that using a calculator is cheating.

Back in the 80s teachers and parents were worried calculators would stop kids using their brains and there’d be a generation of folk who couldn’t count to five, and look at us now; we can count all the way to seventeen.

Like most forms of tech, SpeechyAI helps you harness thoughts and supercharge them. SpeechyAI serves as a testament to the fusion of AI and human creativity, marking a new era in the art of speechwriting.

And hopefully, fewer best men resorting to shockingly bad jokes under pressure!

How to Give a Best Man Speech (Template + Examples)

February 19, 2023

A best man speech is a beautiful toast given at a wedding. Still, it can be a bit nerve-wracking if you’ve never given a speech before, let alone a best man speech. 

If you’re tasked with giving a best man speech, try not to panic (yet). In this how-to guide, we’ll cover:

• What a best man speech is
• How to write one
• How long it should be
• Best man speech examples
• A best man speech template you can use
• And how to make sure your speech is the best it can be

You’ll have a stellar speech ready in no time.

What Is a Best Man Speech?

Traditionally, a best man speech is a toast or speech usually given after the groom gives their speech, although this can completely differ based on the wedding. 

No matter when the speech is slotted for, one thing is for sure : a best man speech is meant to celebrate and congratulate the newlyweds on their marriage. 

How to Write a Best Man Speech

If you need to know how to write a best man speech, you’re not alone . Most people have never given this type of speech and it’s only natural to feel a little lost if you’re tasked with giving the speech. 

Here are four quick tips for how to write a best man speech: 

• Use a good hook or opener (more on this later). A good opening line is a great way to engage the audience, especially after a long ceremony.
• Keep it appropriate. Make sure to keep your audience in mind when you’re writing the speech. For example, will there be children in attendance? 
• Make sure to congratulate the couple on their marriage. This is such an important part of the speech, so don’t forget who you’re celebrating: the newlyweds!
• Thank the speakers who spoke before you. It’s just common courtesy, but many best men make the mistake of not thanking previous speakers. 

Here’s some expert guidance on how to write a compelling speech: 

We’ll give you some more in-depth tips on how to write a best man speech using the template below.

How Long Should a Best Man Speech Be?

One of the most important things to remember when giving a best man speech is that it doesn’t have to be very long. In fact, it shouldn’t be very long. If you’re giving a best man speech, try to keep it under 10 minutes , which is around 1,100-1,300 words. 

Shooting for even less is fine, too. For example, there are usually between 650-850 words in a five-minute speech .

Just make sure you’re not rambling. To get you going, here are some best man speech examples. 

Best Man Speech Examples

Sometimes, looking at a few best man speech examples can get you in the right headspace for writing and delivering your speech. 

Here are five general best man speech examples. 

• Open with a story regarding the couple. This is a great example of a best man speech because an anecdote can be tailored to your audience. Just make sure to keep it light and positive. Now is not the time to try to humiliate either newlywed — it’s a special moment between you, the couple, and all the guests at the wedding. 
• Start with a joke. It can even be a terrible, corny joke, like: “It’s been a lovely, emotional day. Just look how many tiers the cake has!” If you need some inspiration, check out these 10 tips for being funny when you speak .
• Use a quote to inspire you (and the guests attending). Sometimes, having a quote as a central theme to your speech can be helpful. For example, a commonly cited quote from American poet Sylvia Plath is: “There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.”
• Pick a relevant word and read the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary definition out loud. For example, you could use: “Love is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as ‘a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties’ — Just by knowing [the couples’ names], I can confirm this is true.”
• Use a metaphor or two. Although this might not work for everyone, maybe you can sum up the couple using a metaphor. For example, you might compare their relationship to peanut butter and jelly — a match made in heaven.

Still, you might want to see some examples of a few specific best man speech opening lines.

Best Man Speech Opening Lines

The best way to hook an audience is with one of the many best man speech opening lines out there. These openers can be completely tailored to your taste , the couple, and the guests who are attending the wedding.

You can open with a simple hook, a funny one-liner , or any other way you think would be appropriate. To spark your creativity, here are some best man speech opening lines you can tailor to your liking: 

• I’d like to start with a toast to [both the couples’ names].
• Hi, everyone! I’m here to share a [adjective, such as “funny,” “good,” etc.] story about [either newlywed].
• There’s so much I could say about [both the couples’ names, or just one], but I’ll try to keep this under five minutes.
• I know [one newlywed’s name] very well, and even though I definitely could, I’ve chosen not to completely embarrass [their name].
• I’d like to start by thanking [one newlywed’s name] for letting me get up here and give a best man speech — it’s truly an honor. 

These are just general examples , but as long as your heart is in the right place and you’ve got the couple and audience in mind, your best man speech opening line will be great.

Best Man Speech Template

Loosely following a best man speech template can help if you’re feeling stuck. Feel free to use this general outline to guide your speech.

Start by deciding on a topic — just one topic. This will help you hone in on the point of your speech and keep you from rambling and monologuing . What do you want the takeaway of your speech to be? For example, maybe you want guests to know how perfect the newlyweds are for each other. If that’s the case, that would be your central theme to keep you on track. Whatever you decide, your one topic should be relevant to the couple and positive. 

From here, you fill in the gaps. You’ve got your central theme and now you want to sprinkle in some anecdotes and niceties that relate to the couple. So using our earlier example, if your main topic was how perfect the newlyweds are for each other, you might mention how you witnessed this firsthand. Whatever they may be, use these little details and short anecdotes to beef up your speech and make it a bit more substantial.  

In a similar vein, make sure your best man speech comes from the heart. This isn’t the time to deliver a monotonic , boring speech — really leverage the emotions of the day. Although humor in a speech can be great, one pitfall seen over and over again during these kinds of speeches is that they rely on the comedy aspect too heavily. Your speech doesn’t have to be packed with jokes. Instead, think about your relationship with the couple and go from there. 

Lastly, your best man speech template should include this guiding principle: concentrate on the couple. After all, you’re delivering this speech at their wedding, so keep it central to them. That means the both of them. You may be closer with one or the other, but it’s best to focus your speech on both the newlyweds.

Should I Use an AI to Write My Wedding Toast?

“I'm the best man in my friend's wedding this summer, and I'm dreading the speech. I have absolutely no idea what to say. Should I get an AI to help me? Or would that make me the worst man?” 

—Lost for Words

You're certainly not alone in realizing that some onerous creative or emotive task can be completed relatively painlessly with AI. The same thought has undoubtedly occurred to the tongue-tied Tinder user who discovers that he can enlist a digital Cyrano to pen his opening lines to a prospective date; or to the exhausted mother who recognizes that she has at her fingertips a tireless Scheherazade that can produce an infinite scroll of bedtime stories for her children; or to the overworked son who realizes that he can generate, in seconds, a personalized poem for his father's retirement party.

Creatively expressing our feelings to others is time-consuming, uncompensated, and emotionally taxing—that is, at any rate, the message implicit in some of the marketing of large language models. When Microsoft, for instance, introduced its AI Copilot products in March, it imagined a mother using the software to generate a speech for her daughter's high school graduation.

There are multiple ways you might use an LLM to produce a moving toast, ranging from the least intrusive (asking ChatGPT for writing tips or a quick proofread) to the more hands-on (generating a draft of the speech, which you can then customize). New sites like ToastWiz have built tools on top of GPT-4 that allow you to plug in “your stories and feelings” and generate three unique outputs for $30. Meanwhile, wedding-planning apps like Joy have incorporated AI that promises to help users with their “toughest wedding-related wordage.” The feature can produce toasts, or even vows , in the style of Shakespeare or Rumi, and aims to help users “bring their emotions on to paper in fun and creative ways.”

These aren't the first commercial products that have promised to offshore the difficult work of human expression—or what is increasingly called “emotional labor.” Long before the recent AI boom, people turned to human ghostwriters to pen wedding speeches. (“Toast whisperers,” as The New York Times noted in 2015, were an under-the-table service that many clients were too embarrassed to admit paying for.) And I imagine that you, like many people, have for years sent greeting cards that leverage the words of a professional writer to articulate what are allegedly your own thoughts and emotions. This practice, of course, was not without controversy and critics. Hallmark's very first slogan, introduced in 1944, was “When you care enough to send the very best,” a linguistic sleight of hand that inverted the most common critique of commercial greeting cards—that relying on the words of professionals was, in fact, evidence that you did not care enough to speak from your heart.

Such products have long approached what sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild calls the “commodity frontier”—the threshold of activities we deem “too personal to pay for.” It's a perimeter that exists even when the products we enlist are (for the moment) free, and the arrival of new technologies calls for its constant renegotiation. In the case of AI, there have already been some breaches of this still-hazy border. When Vanderbilt University enlisted ChatGPT to generate an email offering condolences to the victims of the mass shooting at Michigan State, the school was criticized for using automated tools for a gesture that demanded, as one student put it, “genuine, human empathy, not a robot.”

Writing a wedding speech would seem to require similar emotional engagement. But perhaps you have reasoned that intent and selection—“It's the thought!”—are what matters in these situations. You are, after all, the one providing the model with the essential, albeit rough, emotive ingredients to produce the finished product. In conversations about AI-generated text, the prompt is often spoken of as the logos , the spiritual breath of human authenticity that animates the synthetic output (dismissed as so much mechanical “wordage”) with life and meaning. Just as the computer was, for Steve Jobs, a “bicycle for the mind,” so language-generation tools might be regarded as the vehicle that transports the spirit of our emotions from their point of origin to a desired destination.

But I'm not sure it's so easy to separate intent from expression, or emotions from behavior. Some psychological experiments have demonstrated that it's our words and actions that allow us to experience emotions, not the other way around—like the famous example of how forcing oneself to smile can induce a feeling of happiness. It's possible that expression, including linguistic expression, is not a mere afterthought in our emotional lives, but the whole point. If that's true, then the decision to outsource your speechwriting might contribute to a kind of emotional atrophy, a gradual loss of the ability to truly inhabit your internal states—or modulate them. A podcaster recently boasted that a friend of his who struggles with anger management uses AI “tone filters” when communicating with people who provoke his temper, feeding rageful rants into ChatGPT and asking the model to rewrite them “in a nicer way.”

If I can offer some more prescriptive parting advice, Lost, I'd urge you to consider that the logic of the commodity frontier can work in reverse. It's not that there are certain realms of human experience that are intrinsically too sacred to automate, which seems to be what you're getting at when you ask whether using AI for your speech would make you the “worst man.” On the contrary, it may be that human intimacy blooms in precisely those pockets of life that have not yet been widely exploited by commercial or mechanical forces. Perhaps our very notion of meaningful human connection depends on our refusal to relinquish such emotional work.

In the end, it's the effort we put into a task that determines its subjective significance. If you decide to hand over the speechwriting work to a machine, then you are essentially confirming that it is meaningless boilerplate. If, on the other hand, you decide to write the toast yourself, you will undoubtedly come to see this work—and the end product—as important, if only because your actions have reinforced your belief that it is worthy of your time and attention. Maybe the speech won't achieve a toast-masterish polish or a Hallmark card's concision, but your words may lead you to your own emotions, which, for the time being, we aren't so eager to automate.

Faithfully,

The Art of Oratory: Exploring the Different Types of Speeches

Public speaking has the power to inform, persuade, entertain, and inspire audiences. It’s a critical tool for leaders, educators, advocates, and anyone looking to make an impact through their words. In the world of oratory, there are several different types of speeches, each serving a unique purpose and requiring a distinct approach. In this article, we’ll explore the primary categories of speeches to help you understand their objectives and master the nuances of delivering each one effectively.

Informative Speeches: Educating Your Audience

An informative speech does exactly what its name implies: it informs. The primary goal of an informative speech is to educate the audience about a particular topic. The subject matter can range immensely, from explaining a complex scientific theory to demonstrating how to bake a cake.

Characteristics of an Informative Speech

Clarity : Your speech must be clear and easy to follow. Use language that your audience understands.

Facts and Data : Cite accurate information and statistics to establish credibility and support your points.

Engagement : Despite being informative, you still need to engage your audience. Use anecdotes, visual aids, or rhetorical questions to keep them interested.

Examples of Informative Speeches

A lecture on the impacts of climate change.

A presentation about the history of the internet.

A seminar on improving personal finance skills.

Persuasive Speeches: Swinging Opinions and Driving Action

While informative speeches focus on providing information, persuasive speeches aim to convince the audience to accept a particular viewpoint or take specific action. Politicians trying to garner votes, salespeople persuading customers to purchase a product, or activists encouraging societal change are all examples of persuasive speaking.

Characteristics of a Persuasive Speech

Appeal to Emotions : Persuasive speeches often appeal to the audience’s emotions, making them feel something that aligns with your message.

Logical Argumentation : Use logical reasoning to build your case. This includes citing evidence and crafting well-thought-out arguments.

Credibility : Establish yourself as a trustworthy and knowledgeable source on the topic.

Examples of Persuasive Speeches

A campaign speech by a political candidate.

A charity fundraiser appeal for donations.

An environmentalist’s talk aimed at reducing plastic use.

Demonstrative Speeches: Showing How It’s Done

Demonstrative speeches are a subset of informative speeches but with a focus on instruction. The goal of a demonstrative speech is to teach the audience how to do something through a step-by-step process. It is critical that these types of speeches are well-organized and that each step is clearly illustrated.

Characteristics of a Demonstrative Speech

Practicality : The task should be feasible and practical for the audience to perform.

Visibility : If you’re demonstrating something physical, every member of the audience needs to see what you’re doing.

Simplicity : Break down complex tasks into simple steps to avoid confusing your audience.

Examples of Demonstrative Speeches

A cooking show host teaching a recipe.

A tech guru explaining how to set up a home network.

A fitness expert demonstrating a workout routine.

Motivational Speeches: Inspiring Change and Achievement

When you think of a motivational speech, you might picture a coach rousing a team before a big game or a business leader inspiring employees towards higher performance. The key to a motivational speech is to inspire and energize your audience to take action or overcome challenges.

Characteristics of a Motivational Speech

Inspirational Stories : Use narratives about overcoming adversity, achievements, or success stories.

Passion : Your enthusiasm and belief in the message should be evident in your delivery.

Actionable Advice : Provide clear steps or methods that the audience can use to achieve their goals.

Examples of Motivational Speeches

A graduation speech encouraging students to pursue their dreams.

A TED Talk sharing a personal story of success.

A corporate leader spurring a team to exceed goals.

Entertaining Speeches: The Fun Side of Speaking

Entertaining speeches are delivered to amuse, delight, and captivate an audience. Humor, storytelling, and charisma are the cornerstones of an entertaining speech. Although the primary intent is to entertain, these speeches can also convey a meaningful message or moral.

Characteristics of an Entertaining Speech

Humor : Utilize jokes, puns, and comedic timing to lighten the mood.

Engaging Delivery : Your delivery should be lively and dynamic to hold the audience’s attention.

Substance : Even funny speeches can have depth. Blend entertainment with substance for a more impactful speech.

Examples of Entertaining Speeches

A best man’s toast at a wedding.

A stand-up comedian’s set.

An after-dinner speech at a corporate event.

Special Occasion Speeches: Marking the Moments That Matter

Special occasion speeches are delivered during significant events, and their content is tailored to the event’s purpose, honorees, or theme. These speeches can be informative, persuasive, motivational, or entertaining, but they should always be relevant to the event and audience.

Characteristics of a Special Occasion Speech

Relevance : The speech must be appropriate for the occasion and audience.

Personalization : Tailor your message to the specific event or honorees.

Brevity : Many special occasion speeches are shorter, so convey your message concisely.

Examples of Special Occasion Speeches

A eulogy at a funeral.

A speech commemorating the anniversary of an organization.

An acceptance speech at an awards ceremony.

Becoming a skilled orator means understanding the different types of speeches and mastering the art of adapting your content and style to the occasion. Whether your aim is to inform, persuade, demonstrate, motivate, entertain, or honor a special occasion, remember that the most effective speeches connect with the audience on a personal level and leave a lasting impression. With practice and attention to these distinct speech purposes and characteristics, anyone can become an effective public speaker.

How to Write a Best Man Speech in 9 Simple Steps

Been tasked to write a best man speech and not sure where to start? Follow these easy rules for how to write a best man speech—and how to deliver it like a total pro.

Valorie Darling Photography

Being enlisted as someone's best man is a big deal, and there are plenty of  best man duties  involved—including figuring out how to write a best man speech. Yes, it’s tradition for the best man to give a wedding speech during the reception, so it’s time to prep for that responsibility. If you’re feeling a little nervous about giving a toast in front of a crowd, that’s totally normal, especially if public speaking isn’t your forte. But with a little forethought, planning, and a lot of practice, you’ll be wowing everyone with your best man speech in no time. Here are nine steps to writing a short best man speech that's sweet and to the point—and how you can ace the delivery. 

How to Write a Great Best Man Speech

Follow this best man speech template to easily get started when it's time to write your own wedding toast. 

1. Plan out your best man speech ahead of time.

Presuming you’re not reading this the night before the wedding, you should give yourself plenty of time—at least one month—to write your best man speech. The weeks leading up to the wedding day, especially participating as such a crucial part of the wedding party, can become hectic. With all of the events you’ll be encouraged or required to attend (on top of keeping up with your own personal life), you may very well lose sight of time. It’s better to plan ahead so you relieve some of the pressure when it's time to write an awesome best man speech.

2. Start your best man speech by expressing gratitude.

If you’re wondering how to write a best man speech, we recommend beginning the speech by stepping onto the dance floor and saying good evening to the crowd (you can write this as a note at the top of your speech as a reminder in case you get nervous). The opening line of your speech should introduce yourself as the best man and then express gratitude to those you think deserve a special shout out. Thank the couple’s parents for raising such great people, thank your friend for having you here, thank the guests for coming, and maybe throw in a one-liner thanking the bartender for a few laughs. It’s a low-key way to break the ice, ease yourself into the best man speech, and make sure those who deserve thanks feel appreciated.

3. Then, talk about your relationship with the groom.

Beyond introducing your name, a big part of how to write a best man speech is talking about your relationship with the groom. Talk about how you met him, how long you've known each other, and what kind of great friend he is. If you can think of an anecdote or funny story that really sums up the kind of person he is, whether that’s charming, warm-hearted, or thoughtful, use it. A funny best man speech is always memorable, but if you’re going to use an anecdote, linking that story to his partner when possible will make it even more meaningful. For example, maybe he’s incredibly outgoing but forgetful, while his new spouse is more thoughtful and organized. If you start with an anecdote of his forgetfulness and later follow up with a time you saw his partner’s organizational skills help him out big time—and that’s a moment you knew they were the real deal—that’s a perfect icebreaker.

4. Focus on the couple's relationship, and not just your own.

Presuming you’ve known the groom for longer than he’s know his partner, you can definitely start your best man toast by sharing an inside joke and recalling the earlier times in your friendship, but then you should skip ahead to when he met his partner. Think of a story that epitomizes their relationship. If you can talk about the exact moment when you realized his partner was “The One” for him, include that. Maybe your buddy told you one week after meeting his partner that they were going to get married, and you thought he was absolutely bonkers, but here you are. Maybe you’ve known the groom for a long, long time—for example, if you’re his brother or you've been best friends since elementary school. You’ve probably always had an idea of what his perfect partner would look like, but the one sitting in front of you exceeds all expectations. Emphasize that he's a great guy and how happy you are for your pal that he’s found someone so perfect for him.

5. Keep your best man speech short and sweet.

In terms of  wedding speech order , the best man speech is typically first, followed by the  maid of honor's toast  and parent speeches or  father-of-the-bride-speech . Even though you'll go first, a good best man speech is short and sweet, since you want to avoid people growing restless during the later speeches (guests are ready to eat, drink, and dance at this point of the wedding reception). Aim for a short best man speech between three and five minutes max. Keep in mind that it will feel much shorter to you when you’re actually giving the speech, and you will likely rush through it a little bit in the spotlight. That’s why you must…

7. Practice, practice, practice.

One of the most crucial best man speech tips is that you have to—and we mean  have to— practice your speech  before the wedding. You should read it to yourself out loud at least three or four times ahead of the actual reception. It might feel awkward at first, but would you rather fumble your words alone in private with the chance to make improvements, or give your speech for the first time while being watched by dozens of people with camera phones? Record yourself giving the speech, then replay it for mistakes and things to change. Not only is practice critical to giving the best performance, but it will give you a confidence boost when the big moment arrives. Consider sending the video to a friend, other groomsmen, or relative to give you honest feedback.

7. Write it down.

You should try to memorize your best man toast as best you can, but you’ll feel less anxious if you have it written down. Practice your speech enough so you won’t need to stare at the piece of paper the entire time, but jot down the main talking points to easily transition from one part to the next. Consider using notecards or a small notepad—remember that there's going to be professional photography and videography of your best man speech. Reading from a haphazardly torn piece of scrap paper or worse, your hand, will look sloppy and indicate that you didn’t prepare for the speech.

8. Don’t drink beforehand.

Keep your alcohol intake to a minimum until after you’re finished delivering the best man speech. It's normal to want to calm your nerves, but anything more than one drink during cocktail hour could backfire—alcohol paired with intense nerves and emotions will only amplify them (and you run the risk of slurring your speech!). The more you drink, the less likely you'll be able to remember what you've planned and form cohesive thoughts in the spotlight. Once your speech is over, you'll have time to celebrate all you want. 

9. Finish your best man speech with congratulations and a toast.

This is a foolproof way to end your best man speech. Conclude by congratulating the happy couple on their big day and offer a toast to their lifetime of happiness. The toast can be personal, witty, or a quote. Perhaps there’s a line about love and relationships from one of the groom’s favorite comedians or movies that you can share, or you can simply wish the newlyweds the best and ask your fellow guests to raise their glasses in celebration. 

Things to Avoid In a Best Man Speech

In order to write a good speech, you want to keep the focus off yourself and instead on the happy couple and their future. In general, it's best to steer clear of these things:

1. Inappropriate anecdotes. 

Your pal's grandmother definitely does not need to hear about that one infamous night in college, no matter how relevant or funny it might seem to your buddies. Leave those drunken tales and embarrassing stories for the bachelor party and keep your best man speech PG.

2. Any talk of exes.

Your friend's wedding is absolutely not the time to bring up ex-girlfriends or previous relationships. No matter a how good a story you think it is, or even if it leads directly to the moment you're all in now, just leave it out completely—trust us.

3. Foul language.

Sensing a theme here? You want to make sure your best man speech is well received by everyone, from the 80-year-old guests to the 8-year-old guests. Remember: A wedding is a family event, so it's best to leave out any profanity or other PG-13 talk. 

4. Long-winded stories.

As mentioned previously, you want to keep your best man speech short and sweet. As great as your speech is going to be, the last thing you want is for the wedding guests to tune out halfway through your time in the spotlight. If a story needs more than a few sentences to explain, either pare it down or consider a different approach for writing your best man speech.

Katie Britt Attacks Biden in G.O.P. Response

Like so many families across America, my husband, Wesley, and I just watched President Biden’s State of the Union address from our living room, and what we saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than I’ve been alive. President Biden’s border policies are a disgrace. This crisis is despicable. And the truth is, it is almost entirely preventable. Right now, our commander in chief is not in command. The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader. We want families to grow. It’s why we strongly support continued nationwide access to in vitro fertilization. We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world.

With a sunny, inviting smile, Senator Katie Britt of Alabama welcomed Americans into her kitchen on Thursday night.

Many soon backed away nervously.

In the Republican Party’s official response to President Biden’s State of the Union address, Ms. Britt delivered a jarring speech that toggled between an increasingly strained cheerfulness and a fierce glare as she gave ominous warnings about illegal immigration.

Ms. Britt, 42, has been seen as a rising Republican star and floated as a possible running mate for former President Donald J. Trump . But in the biggest moment of her fledgling political career, she delivered a tonally uneven speech that was made more unusual by the setting of her own house in Montgomery, Ala., where she sat at her kitchen table and painted a dark picture of an America in decline.

“Our commander in chief is not in command,” Ms. Britt said. “The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader.”

Her comments were in line with messages Republicans have increasingly used to criticize Mr. Biden at the start of the election year, but her 17-minute speech seemed likely to be remembered more for her disconcerting performance. She spoke in grim detail about a child victim of sex trafficking by drug cartels and the recent killing of a Georgia nursing student in which a Venezuelan migrant has been charged.

“That could’ve been my daughter,” Ms. Britt said. “It could’ve been yours.”

Previous State of the Union rebuttals have been delivered from behind a lectern in official settings, but Ms. Britt chose a domestic backdrop, trying to underscore her argument that Mr. Biden represents a threat to prosperity for American families.

But the scene seemed to confuse viewers on social media, where Ms. Britt was mocked by some for using a dramatic, breathy voice to deliver critiques of the president.

“Under his administration, families are worse off — our communities are less safe, and our country is less secure,” she said. “I just wish he understood what real families are facing around kitchen tables just like this one.”

Mr. Trump praised her speech.

“Katie Britt was a GREAT contrast to an Angry, and obviously very Disturbed, ‘President,’” he wrote on his social media site. “She was compassionate and caring, especially concerning Women and Women’s Issues. Her conversation on Migrant Crime was powerful and insightful. Great job Katie!”

Ms. Britt won her first public office in 2022, becoming the first female senator elected in Alabama and the youngest Republican woman elected to the chamber. Speaker Mike Johnson noted in announcing that she would give the State of the Union response that she was the “only current Republican mom of school-age kids serving in the Senate.”

Her selection made for a stark contrast with Mr. Biden, 81, the nation’s oldest president, who is facing skepticism within his party about whether he is too old for a second term.

She also symbolized the latest Republican attempt to broaden the appeal of a party represented overwhelmingly in Washington by white men.

Last year, the Republican response was given by Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, a former Trump White House press secretary, who became the nation’s youngest governor when she took office early last year. The previous Republican responses to Mr. Biden’s speech came from Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa’s first female governor, and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only Black Republican in the chamber.

Ms. Britt repeatedly brought up families and her children in her speech.

“The country we know and love seems to be slipping away — it feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities, and less freedom, than we did,” she said. “I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American dreams.”

Ms. Britt is, at first glance, an unlikely vice-presidential contender for Mr. Trump. She rose to the Senate within the business-friendly establishment wing of the Republican Party that he has driven from power.

She served as chief executive of the Business Council of Alabama, the state’s chamber of commerce, and as a former chief of staff to former Senator Richard Shelby, Alabama’s longest serving senator.

But Ms. Britt has been on Mr. Trump’s radar since August 2021, when she was at the end of a receiving line to shake the former president’s hand during a Republican gathering in Alabama.

Ms. Britt, then a candidate for Senate, introduced the former president to her husband, Wesley Britt, noting that he played professional football for the New England Patriots, whose billionaire owner, Robert Kraft, is close to Mr. Trump, according to two people familiar with the exchange.

Even though Mr. Trump had already endorsed her primary opponent, Representative Mo Brooks, Ms. Britt would tell Mr. Trump that she deserved his endorsement instead.

Seven months later, in March 2022, Mr. Trump withdrew his endorsement as Mr. Brooks dropped in the polls. He backed Ms. Britt, calling her “an incredible fighter for the people of Alabama,” less than two weeks before her runoff election with Mr. Brooks in June.

Democrats seized on Ms. Britt’s selection for the Republican response as they try to make abortion rights and women’s issues central campaign topics.

Last month, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos should be considered children, imperiling access in the state to fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization. Ms. Britt, who has said that she believes life begins at conception , came out in support of access to I.V.F. after the ruling.

Ms. Britt, along with most Senate Republicans, voted this year against a breakthrough bipartisan bill to crack down on immigration while providing new aid to Ukraine.

On foreign affairs, she argued that Mr. Biden’s “strategy of appeasement” had led to chaos and turmoil around the world.

Ms. Britt, along with a small majority of Republicans, voted against an aid package to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that ultimately passed the Senate.

Earlier on Thursday, Ms. Britt’s team distributed talking points that promoted her speech by comparing it to some of the most famous oratory in the nation’s history and urging fellow Republicans to praise the Alabama senator for coming across “like America’s mom.”

“His speech was tone deaf,” the talking points declared, before either Mr. Biden or Ms. Britt had spoken. “Hers was the perfect pitch.”

Our Coverage of the 2024 Elections

Presidential Race

No Labels, the group that for months has pledged to run a centrist presidential ticket in the event of a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, is running out of time to recruit a presidential candidate  after a string of rejections.

Biden’s re-election campaign had $71 million on hand at the end of February, more than double the money in Trump’s campaign account, as he continued to expand his fund-raising advantage  over his rival.

Trump indicated that he was likely to back a 15-week federal ban on abortion , with exceptions for rape, incest and life-threatening emergencies.

Other Key Races

Ohio will almost certainly go for Trump this November. Senator Sherrod Brown, the last Democrat holding statewide office, will need to defy the gravity of the presidential contest  to win a fourth term.

March 19 was the biggest primary night since Super Tuesday, and there were few surprises in the results. Here are the key takeaways .

Democrats in Arizona are leaning heavily into their support for abortion access to shore up support for Biden and hang on to a key Senate seat. But a legal dispute means it remains unclear what restrictions  will actually be in effect when Arizonans vote in November.
