Things to Think About When Creating a Father of the Bride Speech

Wow, I have two daughters and even though I do not feel as though I have a huge problem with speaking in public, I definitely dread this speech. Not because I think I will feel as though I am losing one of my daughters or anything, I just think it will be an emotional time for me.

With that being said, I think others do as well. I could sit here and tell you what you should write, but then it would not be heart felt. So instead I will just give my thoughts to you on how I think I will be approaching this situation.

First off, everyone is going expect me to be emotional. I probably will be and for that reason, I think it is probably best to try and keep it short. Also, I tend to think that it is the responsibilities of the Best Man and Maid of Honor to deliver the childhood stories. Not it is simply inappropriate, but I am just making the point that it probably is not necessary.

With that said, I personally do feel that I will be approaching this with a sincere heart from the beginning. I don't believe that after other speeches have been given that will likely have humorous content that I would need to bring additional jokes to lighten up the mood.

Another thing to think about is that you should always put something nice about the groom in there as well. Everyone already knows that you hope that your daughter is treated well by him, so there is no need to be Mr. Tough Dad and try to put threats in your speech. I think saying a few nice kind words about him is always appropriate.

Just remember, there is nothing wrong with keep this speech short. In fact, it is probably expected by most of the people listening in on what you are saying.
