Joey + Jessica Weddings

You are preparing for your daughter’s wedding reception and, in addition to all the worries generated by this special event (which are even greater if you and your husband are arranging this important party, according to the wedding protocol from many cultures), you must get ready for offering a toast, a mother of the bride speech, on this occasion. Having so many responsibilities, it’s really difficult to create such a speech, which has to be perfect, being the toast delivered by the bride’s mom. When it comes to this speech (that you will give at the wedding reception), you must relax, because I created this article special for coming to your aid. More exactly, I included in this post the topics that you ought to deal with in your oration, and also some of the best hints on creating and delivering a successful wedding speech.

General Structure of a Toast of the Bride’s Mother

There are only three parts that should form a typical speech: a brief opening section (in which you may indicate the major theme of your oration), a considerable main section (where the bride’s mom ought to deal with the main subject of her toast) and a small final part (in which you can include a summary of the principal topic of your speech).Continue Reading

When beginning to think about the topics they would like to cover in their talks, about their formulations or about any other aspect concerning their future discourses at bridal receptions, there is an essential thing that all the speakers must not only take into account, but also be aware of and, most importantly, clarify.

It is the context of the wedding speeches. Mother of the groom, just like any other person who will speak at a party that celebrates the union of two persons, has to be crystal clear about ten elements or aspects, whose ensemble represents the context of her talk.

These ten details help the speaker not only to prepare his or her discourse, but also to deliver it in an impeccable manner. These ten elements define, in fact, what is the most important thing when it comes to a speech of any kind: its atmosphere.

And, when I say “atmosphere”, I refer not only to the environment, ambiance and circumstances where the discourse is offered, but also to the atmosphere that is actually created by the talk.

The Ten Components of the Context of a Mother of the Groom Wedding Speech

Let’s see now what exactly you have to clarify, with regards to your mother of groom speech. Well, there are, in fact, ten questions you have to ask yourself, then remember their answers and become aware of them, since they represent the essence of your talk. The ten elements of the context of the discourse that you will deliver during your son’s wedding ceremony or reception are:

1. the atmosphere that you create with your talk;
2. the impression about you that you create and let in your listeners’ minds;
3. the general tone of your talk;
4. the overall purpose of your discourse;
5. the “duties” of your talk;
6. the principal subject of your speech;
7. the persons whom you ought to include in your discourse;
8. the reason why you speak;
9. the event at which you must speak;
10. the immediate circumstances of your speech.

When preparing for a discourse of a certain type, a general structure or format of such a talk is probably the best thing you could possibly get. That’s because you can use this structure and adapt it, if necessary, for your situation. The resource that is promoted by this website contains a lot of father of the groom speech examples, samples and templates that you can use, adjust or combine for obtaining the discourse that you would like to offer at your son’s upcoming wedding ceremony or reception.

An interesting and useful template for such a talk can also be found right here, in this article, where I included the best ideas and the most valuable topics that you should cover in your speech. Of course, the format presented in the sections of this post is not mandatory; you can select any elements that you like from it, you can change their order and add any other subjects that you like.

Moreover, it’s important to know that I don’t guarantee that your discourse will be successful if you follow this template, because the success of such a talk depends not only on the content of the speech, but also on the way you deliver it and even on whether you use some essential tips or not. These tips are covered in other articles that I published on this website and also in the resource that I told you about in the previous paragraph. Anyway, I’m sure that you, as the groom’s father, can appreciate the value of the template revealed in this post after you will go through all the sections below.

You should be aware that your talk can be regarded as a written composition.

Being the bride’s father can be very overwhelming, since this position implies a lot of responsabilities, especially if you and your wife (the bride’s mom) are the ones who organize your daughter’s wedding, as the wedding protocol from many cultures and regions provides. If you are the host of the party that celebrates your daughter’s union, then it’s almost mandatory to deliver the first speech, i.e. the father of the bride speech, at the reception. This article deals with the content of such an oration. More precisely, this post presents, in its first section, the most important ideas that ought to be covered in your wedding toast. In the second (which is also the last) section of this article, you will find three of the most helpful tips regarding the text of such a speech.

Structure of the Father of the Bride Wedding Speeches

The famous three-sections structure of the short literary texts that every pupil has to write (on a certain subject) as homeworks for the high school classes must be followed even by the wedding speeches. Father of the bride ought to respect this simple rule, which states that the oration that he delivers at his daughter’s wedding should have a generous middle section (usually known as the oration’s body), that must be enclosed by two much smaller sections: an introduction, which precedes the body and opens the oration, and an ending, that follows the body and finishes the oration.Continue Reading
