(public speaking) Father Of The Bride Speeches At The Wedding Reception Posted By : Shelby Wright

At many weddings the bride's father is will give an opening speech and propose the toast to the newly married couple at the start of the wedding reception, and continue to act as MC for the following proceedings. A good way to achieve this is to discuss the wedding ceremony, how beautiful the bride looks, the location chosen for the reception or even the weather — things that all the guests will have an opinion about — and how much you are excited about meeting everyone and sharing the reception with them. Finally, to place the attention of the wedding reception firmly on the newlywed couple it is usual for the bride's father to call for guests to join him in a toast to the bride and groom. Every father of the bride will add his own style of presentation, humor and feelings into his speech around this or a similar simple five step speech framework.
