What do creative Best Man Wedding Speeches have that other speeches do not have? What makes a Best Man's speech sound unique and memorable?
A good creative Best Man Speech does two things. First of all it satisfies the curiosity of the wedding audience with enough detail about the wedding couple.
Secondly, the Best Man speech presented with a unique spin makes the speech enjoyable or memorable for the wedding audience.
Good speech content coupled with a unique spin make for great creative Best Man Wedding Speeches. Good content about the groom and bride is important to include.
If a Best Man focuses on being very creative -without much relevant content to the wedding - it becomes like a stand-up comedy routine. The speech could be seen as very impersonal to the groom and bride.
The first key to creative Best Man Wedding speeches is to decide what content to include in the speech. A Best Man speech will include some information about the groom's personal qualities and achievements, how the groom and Best Man met, the bride and groom as a couple, includes a compliment the bride and gives congratulations to the couple. Aim to make the speech from 7 to 10 minutes.
Next, consider how the speech can be made in a creative way. Below is a list of suggestions:
Quote a historical or modern source that marks the occasion of the wedding. What makes the occasion of this marriage unique? Is it the couple's characteristics or philosophy, the physical location of the wedding, the season of the year?
Quotes can be found through internet research. As well, there are books of quotes available at libraries and book stores.
Poem - Is there a special poem that says just the right thing? It can be a poem that suits the occasion of this wedding or maybe a favorite poem of the couple.
Photos - Display photos on a projected screen for the audience to see. Choose a variety of photos that illustrate the topics that you cover in your speech. There are two styles of displaying photos.
The Best Man can specifically switch photos at specific topics in his speech. This could be very interesting for the audience, but it does require practice to speak and click to the next photo with the correct timing.
Run a video presentation of various photos in the background, while the Best Man presents his speech is an easier method.
Props - Use props to illustrate the topics of the speech. Props are objects that the speaker holds up for the audience to see. Examples of prop ideas are prize ribbons, certificates, sports related, vacation souvenirs etc.
For example the Best Man talks about the groom's involvement in sports. The Best Man gives his speech and holds up a sports hat or team jersey for the audience to see. The Best Man can use several props to help illustrate his speech.
Creative Best Man Wedding speeches that use props work well, as long as the Best Man has spent time practicing displaying the prop while presenting his speech.
