Delivering the father of the bride wedding speech is one of the proudest and emotional moments in any dad's life. It is also one of the most anticipated speeches at any wedding - especially by the bride. It is understandable that you want to make this special day even more extraordinary by delivering the best possible toast. But beware, by putting too much pressure on yourself, you're risking to turn your daughter's wedding day into a total disaster. If you are nervous or even emotional when you think about delivering this special message, rest assured, it's totally normal. We have all been to weddings where a bad speech destroyed the loving and joyous atmosphere. Your daughter has been meticulously preparing for her wedding day, so of course you don't want to ruin it for her. But let's face it, delivering a bad speech or presentation may well wreck your daughter's special day, so make sure you're well prepared. Luckily there are some easy steps you can follow to make sure you have done your research, are confident and well prepared for your big moment. Your daughter will thank you and your family will be proud of you for making the utmost effort and contributing to her special day. Be prepared Make sure you have rehearsed your speech well and can deliver it fluently. This will remove a lot of stress from the situation. Consider practicing the speech in front of a mirror or with a small group of close friends or family to prepare for your moment in the spotlight. Be comfortable It is crucial that you are comfortable when delivering your speech. You may not be used to the formal outfit you are wearing on this special occasion. To get used to the different atmosphere and clothing you can practice and rehearse your speech while wearing your formal suit at home. During the wedding, you may even want to take of your suit jacket, but only if it is appropriate to the dress code. And always make sure you have a glass of cold water on hand. Be confident Being calm, collected and confident is a far cry from being tipsy. Make sure you stay sober until you have delivered the important toast, and remember that you have already practiced and rehearsed this speech. Confidence is often displayed through your body language, so make sure you are standing tall, and that you are looking at your daughter and the guests when they are directly addressed. Being prepared, comfortable and confident is crucial. But even more important is the content of your speech.
