After the Best Man’s speech, some Maids of Honor give a speech. She may not, however, want to speak after you dazzle the crowd. If she does have the chutzpah, the least you can do is give her a nice introduction. This will cement the crowd’s understanding that you’re the MC, this is your little show, and she’s only a bit player.
Don’t make fun of the Maid of Honor before you give up the floor. This always looks petty, and all your good work will be for naught.
The Family “Open Mike” Phenomenon (Optional)
This concept is similar to the idea of letting other guests speak during the rehearsal dinner. It isn’t required of the Best Man, but when it works, it works great. It’s something you can just offer up to the crowd; if no one bites, you can finish with your final toast.
