4.0 out of 5 stars A concise and useful aid, 18 Aug 2004
By Andrew Langdon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Being asked to be a Best Man is both a privilege and a nerve-racking experience, mainly because you have to deliver a speech in front of the Bride and Groom's nearest and dearest and to people of all ages. This is where confetti.co.uk's guide to writing and performing a Best Man's speech has proven to be unexpectedly useful; it is full of ideas for research, tips on delivery and themes for your speech, some sample jokes and toasts, as well as eight full-length sample speeches.

I can highly recommend 'The Best Man's Speech: A Tough Job Made Easy'. It is a concise and extremely helpful aid for writing a Best Man's speech.

I wish you good luck in writing yours!

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended by a first-time best man, 15 Jun 2005
By Darren Simons (Middlesex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I was recently asked to be best man for a mate's wedding and having never been best man before I bought this book to help figure out what was appropriate to say in my speech as well as any other pointers for the day.

The book is superb in its advice for speech writing. Rather than providing a template of what the speech should look like, it provides lots of useful ideas, some do's and don'ts, and a couple of complete sample speeches to provide some inspiration.

In fact, I would probably say it's the do's and don'ts which I found the most useful... understanding who toasts who, who thanks who, the order of speeches etc. In fact, it contains all the stuff which, when as a wedding guest seems to go so smoothly and you ask yourself "How do they know what to do?". Well, the answer's out... they probably bought this book!

So if you've just been asked to be best man... relax, don't worry.. buy this book, and enjoy the honour of being asked.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you've got common sense...you don't need this., 18 Jun 2005
By R. M. Smith (Oxfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm afraid the contents of this book are not much use to anyone who already has a good idea of what they have to do. It's a bit thin on actually helping you to do it. If you need to be told that certain topics should be avoided, then this may be helpful. But if you're looking for inspiration and possibly some useful lines to borrow - then look elsewhere.
