Preparing The Daddy Of The Bridegroom Talk

June 8th, 2010 | Tags: , , , , , , , ,

When it comes to wedding speeches, the father of the groom speech is one of the ones which are basically forgotten. Folk typically wait to hear the speech from the daddy of the bride and the best man, but the daddy of the groom speech is also an important one. It is a chance for you to greet the bride into your family and to supply advice to your son about wedded bliss. If done properly the speech can be both moving and humorous. So just how does one create the ideal dad of the groom speech?

Setting the Right Tone

Truly it doesn’t matter who is giving a speech, every one of them should be both heartfelt and funny. Getting the right mixture of emotion and humor can be tricky to do particularly as most men do not like to be too emotional - even at a marriage. Conveniently the daddy of the groom is not anticipated to be as emotional as the father of the bride, so when making your father of the groom speech you do not have to get too personal.

Firstly you need to open your speech by welcoming the bride into the family. Perhaps compliment her and congratulate your son on having good taste. This may go down nicely with the bride’s family and you’ll make the bride feel special.

Next it is time to tell perhaps a couple of funny stories about your son. Have you got any embarrassing stories about him when he was younger? Ideally you don’t need to mention any ex girls as that may probably wreck the day. Stick to stories from youth and you cannot fail. Everyone likes to laugh at youth stories and it is your opportunity to add a little humor to your speech.

Another crucial part of the daddy of the groom speech is where you give your son advice. This should ideally be close to the end of the speech and it shouldn’t be too long. Just give two sentences such as “and in your married life remember that your wife is always right and you’ll never win an argument”. If you add something similar to that it also adds a little humor and it’ll give the speech a good airy ending.

Overall you would like the daddy of the groom speech to be funny and emotional. Start by welcoming and complimenting the bride.
