Father of the Groom Template

At Speechy, we don’t just dabble in wedding speeches—we set the gold standard.

• ✔ We’re the authors of The Modern Couple’s Guide to Wedding Speeches (if your son needs a nudge, it might help him too!)
• ✔ Our speechwriting expertise has been featured everywhere from The Times to Reader’s Digest, from I-news to The Observer
• ✔ We’ve helped thousands of wedding speakers—fathers of the groom included—deliver speeches that guests still talk about years later

If you want a speech that’s thoughtful, entertaining, and actually enjoyable to give, you’re in the right place.

We didn’t just cobble together a few generic thank-yous and call it a speech.

• ✔ No tired clichés about “gaining a daughter”
• ✔ No generic, lifeless script that could belong to any dad at any wedding
• ✔ No stress about whether you’re saying “the right thing”

Instead, this father of the groom template guides you to express your pride, love, and humour in a way that feels completely natural.

It’s designed so the sentiments in your speech come from your unique relationship with your son, not a Hallmark greeting card.

Wedding speeches have a lot of moving parts, and the Father of the Groom has his own moment to get right.

• ✔ Who to thank (without making it sound like a business meeting)
• ✔ How to balance humour, sentiment, and tradition
• ✔ How to deliver a speech that’s engaging, not just another toast in the lineup

This template eliminates the guesswork, so you can focus on delivering a moment that truly matters.

Ever been tempted by one of these classic (aka overused) dad jokes?

• 🚫 “I’ve prepared a hilarious speech… but my wife made me read this one instead.”
• 🚫 “Hello, everyone! If you don’t know who I am, congratulations on sneaking into such an expensive meal unnoticed.”
• 🚫 “My son has always brightened our lives—mostly because he never learned to turn the lights off.”

Let’s not.

Instead, our template helps you find the comedy in your real-life relationship. The humour comes naturally, from your personal insights and stories, making sure your speech is genuinely funny, not just a string of tired one-liners.

At Speechy, we believe that a great wedding speech isn’t just words – it’s a moment that defines the day.

• ✔ Each Speech Theme is designed around a fresh, engaging storytelling structure
• ✔ Your speech will flow beautifully, keeping guests engaged from start to finish
• ✔ No lifeless wedding waffle—just a heartfelt, elegant, and brilliantly crafted tribute

This isn’t just about getting through your speech – it’s about creating a moment your son will remember forever.
