Speech Ideas for the Father of the Bride
- Welcome all the guests who are in attendance. Welcome the groom's family into your family and talk about how you look forward to spending many years together as you watch this young couple grow and possibly begin their own family.
- Tell a heartwarming or sweet story about your daughter as a child. Or choose to tell a funny story, just be sure it's not too embarrassing as the bride does not want to be embarrassed on her big day.
- Talk about when you first met your son-in-law and if you want, what you thought of him. Talk about how you watched your little girl fall in love with him and saw how much he loves her. If you have any funny stories to tell about him go for it, everyone will enjoy a good laugh.
- Discuss your dreams and hopes for the newly married couple. This is also a great opportunity to offer marital advice. Pass on a family heirloom and tell them to protect it with the love of their marriage.
- Thank everyone for coming and celebrating your daughter's big day. Express how much it means to you that they would take the time to be there with you for this event. If you really like your son-in-law you can thank his parents for raising such a good man to care for your daughter for the rest of her life.
