Being a stepfather of the bride comes with a few speech etiquette questions—who should you mention? How do you navigate family dynamics? How formal should it be?
✔ Who to thank and acknowledge (and how to make it feel natural, not forced)
✔ How to pay tribute to the bride in a way that feels warm and genuine
✔ How to welcome the groom (without the usual father-in-law clichés)
This template takes the pressure off, making sure your speech ticks all the right boxes without sounding like a speech-writing manual.
If you’ve been tempted to use one of these tired “dad joke” classics, let’s rethink that…
🚫 “To my new son-in-law—forget your wedding anniversary once, and you’ll remember it for the rest of your life.”
🚫 “I want to truly enjoy the next five minutes—because it’s the only part of today the bride didn’t plan!”
🚫 “I’ve been told by the bride not to drink before the speech, so I apologise if I rush to the end.”
Yeah, let’s not.
