Since the Steve Martin movie, the Father of the Bride Speech has become a romanticized, sentimental, and tear-jerking event in a wedding reception. It is usually also a chore for fathers, as fathers are not usually the poster boys for eloquence and showiness. These tips will hopefully set the mood right in making good father of the bride speeches.

• Start with an introduction of yourself. As traditionally, the bride’s family is the host of the wedding, the father should welcome everyone first and thanking them for attending. You may ask the assistance of your wife or daughter for all individuals. Absent friends and family may be noted to add a bit of drama to the speech, but don’t take too long.
• Proceed with any humorous or touching anecdote of your daughter’s childhood. Be sincere and warm in accounting your daughter’s accomplishments and strengths. This is where father of the bride speeches could get a bit emotional. But that’s perfectly okay if you don’t loose control on your speech altogether (which is unlikely to happen).
• After that, it is time to acknowledge and thank the Groom’s family for their role in the celebration. Officially welcome the Groom into your family, and add a little humor, but in under no circumstance should you threaten him.
• Mention specially your wife, a.k.a. the Bride’s mother for all the work she has done to make this wedding a success. Remember that chances to congratulate and praise your family in front of a diverse crowd of your friends and guests do not come around very often. This will add a hint of nostalgia to when you yourself was welcomed by her family into their own on your wedding day.
• Use some humor in your father of the bride speech and end with a formal, loving toast for the future happiness of the new couple.
