There are numerous resources for sample father of the bride wedding toasts available, in fact it is mind-boggling how many are available. Some shudder at the thought of resorting to example toasts to help them but it is something pretty much everyone does for various reasons. So is it improper to use these?
Absolutely not and see below as to why not:
Do people really use these toasts?
I believe that everyone who has to make a wedding toast has at some point searched through the internet for a professionally written toast. Of course this makes sense to do this and is no way reserved for losers! Every good speech you hear has always been well researched and drafted numerous times. Professional example toasts are to be used as a template for you to begin with.
Why are these useful?
If you don't have some structure to wedding toast, it will come across as ramble and you may end up getting frustrated with yourself. For example, the worst mistake at a wedding is to forget to thank someone and regret it after. Professionally written example toasts provide you with the requisite structure and who should be thanked as well as whom to toast and when.
Should I include jokes?
You can and there are some good wedding joke sites. Make sure that your jokes or stories are clean and also of interest to all of the audience. "In-jokes" never work well at weddings because what may be funny to a handful of people may not be funny to the whole audience.
What is the right number of father of the bride speeches to review?
I would suggest that you start with about ten or so and see if you spot the similar structure flowing through them. Then you may want to start to draft your own wedding toast. Once you have a draft completed, then maybe read another ten to top up your ideas. I have met people who have read hundreds but that maybe overkill!
Every successful speech has been well prepared and you too should follow suit. Make use of the technology available to you and download some examples to get your mind thinking on what you should and should not say. - 30299
