You've already organized and planned your best friend's bachelor party, but have you given any thought to what you'll say in your best man speech? Sure, it isn't as fun as gearing up for a big boys' night out or a raucous trip to Vegas, but it's definitely more important. What you say to your friend and his new bride will live in their memories of their special day for years to come. We've already given you a rundown of the best drinking toasts for all occasions, but your best man speech needs to truly shine.

According to WeddingWire, the best way to write a best man speech is to "talk about what a great match the newlyweds make," "let the groom know how much he means to you," tell a funny speech (but don't mention exes or past drunken debauchery), and congratulate the couple. The best man speech is about 2-3 minutes long and typically ends with a toast.
