Your daughter’s wedding day is such a special day – not just for her and her new husband, but for their families and friends as well. It can be difficult to find the right words to express how proud of her you are and how much you are hoping for her future happiness. Of all the wedding speeches, the Father of the Bride speech is one of the most meaningful and when done correctly can be a wonderful blend of both sentimental and funny.

Here are some tips for writing and giving a speech that will not only make your daughter proud, but that will create another lasting memory of her wedding day that she can cherish for years to come.

1. Speak from your heart and don’t worry so much about the other stuff. One of the best ways to guarantee a great speech is if you write it from your heart. Not only will your speech have greater impact, but it will mean a lot more to your daughter too. Remember that saying “the right thing” is less important than saying something meaningful.

2. Be sure to thank everyone for coming. Your speech is a great opportunity to thank all of the guests for coming. If you have guests who have travelled a long way to be at the wedding you can even mention them specifically to let them know how much you appreciate the effort they made to get there.

3. Welcome your new son-in-law and his family to you family. Be sure to let your new son-in-law know that you are happy to have him as a member of your family.

4. Tell a story or two about your daughter. Talk about memories that the two of your have together or memories you have from when she was little. Or, you may want to talk about how she and her new husband met. Funny stories and sentimental stories are both great for this, but try to mix it up a little so your speech is not too funny or too sentimental.
