Father Of The Bride Speech Topics & Tips
Traditionally, you’ll be the first speaker. Your opening paragraphs will set the tone for your speech. And your speech will set the mood for the reception. So, the question to ask yourself is not just what to say, but how to say it.
Things to consider include: the balance between sentiment and jokes; how chatty or formal you want to be; and how you want your daughter and the guests to feel after you’ve sat down. Is your primary focus that they were entertained and heard some fun stories or that they have had a wonderful trip down memory lane covering your daughter’s milestones and achievements. A blend of both is possible.
Every family is different and so is every father of the bride speech. Some potential issues are not being present for part of your daughter’s life or being separated from her mother. Or perhaps there’s been a bereavement and the father of the bride role is being taken by the bride’s mother or brother. Tailoring a speech to ensure the appropriate weight is given to such situations is something I have great experience in doing.
My speech writing service is a truly bespoke offering. When I receive a completed father of the bride speech questionnaire, I can soon tell what sort of speech you’d like to deliver – usually from the type of stories you’ve chosen. If I’m not 100% sure, I always follow up and chat further.

Father Of The Bride Speeches For Every Personality
One question I always ask is: “What proportion of funny and heartfelt would you like”?
The answers are varied. I’ve been asked to write father of the bride speeches with jokes all the way through to others that are full of sentiment with just a sprinkling of humour.
Choose a mix that matches your personality. But I do believe having both is a great combination.
For example, if your daughter has done incredibly well at school or in her job, you could choose to follow it with a joke about her “ending up as Prime Minister/President… if she sets her sights low enough.” You can let everyone know your daughter’s achievements, and have a bit of fun. it removes the risk of sounding like an over-proud dad.
