You’re the Father of the Bride and you’re honored and delighted to be giving a speech at your daughter’s wedding.
But you need a few pointers so you’re not caught unprepared.
Here are several wedding speech tips to make your tribute go smoothly…
1. Introduce yourself to the wedding guests if you’re not introduced by the wedding emcee.
2. Welcome the guests – particularly the groom’s parents and friends – and thank them for celebrating the happy event with you and your family.
3. Include a number of themes in your wedding speech. You can be sentimental with a poignant story, you can talk about how proud you are of your daughter, and you can offer advice or words of wisdom.
4. Wish your daughter and her new husband a happy marriage and congratulate and welcome the groom to your family on behalf of yourself and your wife.
