Toast & Vows Brothers get the best material: shared bedrooms, backseat fights, the time he tried to cut his own hair. A brother's speech can get the biggest laughs of the night and then, when you turn sincere, the quietest room.
Add your stories and the generator shapes them into a speech with a little teasing, a real moment about the couple and a toast. It works for a brother of the bride too.
How to structure a brother speech
- Introduce yourselfYour name and whether you are the older or younger brother. It usually sets up the first joke.
- A growing-up storyOne childhood moment that shows the kind of person he is.
- Who he becameWhat you admire about him now, even if you've never told him.
- Welcome the new sibling-in-lawWhat changed when they came along, and a welcome to the family.
- ToastRaise a glass to the couple.
Tips before you stand up
- Two to four minutes, shorter if you're also the best man. In that case, use the best man page.
- Tease, then turn. The sincere line hits harder after a laugh.
- Avoid stories that embarrass your parents. They're in the front row.
- Practice with a timer and cut anything that runs long.
- End by speaking directly to the couple before the toast.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Luke, Ben's older brother. For the first seven years of his life, Ben was convinced he was the favorite. For the record, he's still wrong, but today he's very close.
Growing up, Ben and I fought over everything: the remote, the front seat, the last slice of pizza. Tonight, for the first time, I'm happy to let him have the last word. Just kidding, that's what this speech is for.
I've known Ben his whole life, which means I've seen every version of him, and the best one is the one standing next to Anna tonight.
