Despite my earlier advice on avoiding jokes and alcohol, funny groom speeches are one of the great things about any wedding speech. It doesn’t mean you have to produce a work of comic genius, but a funny groom speech is sure to go down a blast with your audience – so long as it is relevant and tasteful. The last thing you want to do is offend anyone.
I tried to make mine funny but all the while I was aware of the situation and tried to be humble. I also had to consider the other wedding speakers like the father of the bride so that I didn’t pull the rug from under him or insult his daughter! Goodness only knows how any of those kind of jokes would have gone down! Click here to learn more: Groom Speech Jokes.
The Secret to Good Speech Humour
One thing I found was that by using humour, it seemed to keep everyone’s attention and engaged them emotionally in what I was saying. I used it at different times as a way of grabbing attention and making sure they were focused. In any toast, the groom should be the centre of attention and keep it that way, as well as directed onto his bride, of course!
Try injecting your speech with a joke or two in the right place. Say emotional things, then add a little humour to keep everyone relaxed and focused. Balance the emotional parts and the funny bits together. You will actually find that you will be emotional yourself so by doing this it won’t just help the audience, it will help you too!
Another great funny groom speeches tip I learned is to be informal and interact with the audience. This isn’t a lecture – it’s a toast! The groom should always feel like they are having a conversation with old friends, which largely will be the
case. Don’t forget to make eye contact with your guests; it will help you to interact them. Try practising before hand with your friends as a trial run, as it will help you improve your funny groom speech skills greatly and give you extra confidence.
