Aside from all the organization and orchestration of the wedding and reception details, your number-one duty is to provide your daughter with a solid shoulder to lean upon as her Big Day approaches. This is your time to really be her rock – you’re the one she’ll be turning to when things get a little chaotic (as they undoubtedly will do!)

On top of all these caring, altruistic responsibilities, there’s also the not-so-small matter of keeping yourself sane and as stress-free as possible.

And when you’re expected to make a speech that’s warm, witty, significant, meaningful, and funny – in front of all the people who really matter to you, your family, your new son-in-law, and (most importantly) your daughter, that’s a pretty big ask.

This is where Father of the Bride Wedding Speeches: How to be Witty and Well Prepared comes in: a comprehensive how-to guide by Dan Stevens, experienced public speaker and speech-writer extraordinaire, to writing and delivering the funniest, most eloquent speech of the day.

This handbook has been designed and written specifically to meet the precise needs of the Father of the Bride. It deals with all his traditional and contemporary responsibilities on the day itself and in the time leading up to it: not just the crafting, preparation, and delivery of the speech, but everything you need to know to be the most well-informed, supportive, and confident Father of the Bride that you possibly can be!

SO WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE BOOK?

This is a pretty detailed guide: there’s a lot of information that’s covered. Let’s take a look at the contents.

In Father of the Bride Wedding Speeches: How to be Witty and Well Prepared you get:

• Immediate access to 20 professionally-written, top quality speeches designed explicitly for the Father of the Bride. These speeches have been written in a manner that enables you to piece together the parts that you like, creating your very own, personalized speech which perfectly suits your individual occasion – and what’s more, they’re officially guaranteed to be adaptable to any situation.
• Over 100 witty, top-quality toasts for you to insert into your speech
• Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions on how to create your own individual speech from scratch
• The complete how-to for delivering your speech like a professional: all the tips and practical advice you need to look and sound great when it really counts!
• The complete protocol and etiquette for the Father of the Bride: all the information necessary for you to fulfil your duties, so you can relax in your role as both a supportive father and a gracious host – who’s never at a loss for the right thing to say or do
• A complete, no-questions-asked 100% money back guarantee: if you’re not completely satisfied with your speech-making package, you have a full eight weeks to request your complete refund

WHAT MAKES IT PARTICULARLY GOOD?

Something that’s guaranteed to please is the fact that the book is laid out in such an easy-to-read, mistake-proof format. It seems as though Dan really understands what it’s like to be the Father of the Bride – that there’s little time for poring over densely-written, complex speech-making encyclopedias and 1,000 page Read-Me’s.

A pleasant contrast to the other products on the market, the user-friendliness of this book means that it can be read and absorbed in one night (as is attested to by several of the more-than-impressive testimonials on the book’s site).

Even those Fathers of the Bride who waited until the night before the wedding to prepare their speech still received standing ovations from the wedding crowd (again, you have to read those testimonials to believe it!) …

In all seriousness though, being the Father of the Bride is a large responsibility encompassing hundreds of specific duties both minor and major. Dan Stevens recognizes that it’s not always possible to spend the necessary time in thinking about and preparing your speech – so he’s done it all for you, by creating a speech-making package that’s not only designed specifically for the Father of the Bride, but has been designed to be easily and quickly readable and absorbable. In short, it doesn’t take much in terms of time or effort to put the information contained within this book to good use!

Something else that really ensures every last base is covered is the private email consultation with Dan: for no added charge, Internet customers (who purchase the instantly-downloadable online book, as opposed to the hard copy) receive an individual and personal consultation with Dan Stevens himself. If you have any questions, want more professional advice, or even just some feedback on your speech notes, simply write him an email and get your own personalized reply straight from the horse’s mouth.

AND YOU GET BONUS BOOKS, TOO!

Yes, there’s even more …

As well as all the information covered above, you also get three whole bonus books for free:

• Unstoppable Confidence Audio Program: this is a downloadable audio track that’s been put together by a professional hypnotherapist – designed to help even the most petrified potential speech-maker, all you have to do is just put on your earphones and watch your confidence sky-rocket.
• Jokes, Quotes, and One-Liners This book has over 100 of the funniest jokes to paste into your speech – you’ll have them falling out of their chairs with some of these! Guaranteed to inject hilarity into any wedding speech.
• Classic and Contemporary Sample Toasts : no matter what style of wedding you’re having, there’s a toast in here to augment it – whether it’s formal, casual, or somewhere in between.

ALL IN ALL

This handbook really does cover it all: it’s got everything you need to give a great speech, handle yourself with confidence, keep the wedding day running smoothly, ensure your daughter’s feeling relaxed and happy as she prepares to embark on her new life, and – last but not least! – manage to actually enjoy yourself at the same time!

Father Of The Bride Wedding Speeches

You can’t put a foot wrong once you’ve read this book: a must-have for any Father of the Bride.

A wedding speech is an incredibly big deal.

Even if the most self-confident people, who are reasonably well versed at public speaking, get the jitters when they’re asked to speak at somebody’s wedding: the weight of expectation resting on you, as the speech-maker, is pretty huge.

After all, you’re being asked to make a major contribution to the course of the day: a day that these two people (as well as scores of their relatives and close friends) will remember for the rest of their lives.
And when you’re the Best Man, the responsibility is even bigger: not only do you have to make a speech, but you make the speech (as the person who knows the groom better than anyone else) and the toast to the bride and groom.

On top of this – a sobering reality in itself! – you’re also one of the main orchestrators of the event. You’ll help to organize the wedding and reception so that it all runs smoothly and heads in the right direction; you’re expected to look after the groom, make sure his breath smells fresh and that he’s not drinking too much; and it’s up to you to make sure that the guests are enjoying themselves, that there are no sozzled hecklers in the crowd, and that – finally – everyone else is performing their duties while simultaneously having a good time.

Phew!

Is there any room left over for you to have a good time? And are you beginning to understand why most Best Man candidates, even though hugely flattered, usually find it difficult not to quail under the sudden weight of all that responsibility?

HELP IS AT HAND

It’s not just making the speech that’s scary – it’s also coming up with the necessary poignant, personal, pithy, witty, emotional, and meaningful ideas, jokes, and one-liners that make a speech memorable for all the right reasons.

Even for someone who’s accustomed to writing and delivering speeches, this is still a pretty considerable task – and to someone who’s unused to public speech delivery (much less the conception and writing of a speech for such an important occasion), even just the idea of having to do all that is enough to turn one’s creative abilities to jelly.

Fortunately, help is at hand – in the form of an extremely well-written and user-friendly book by Dan Stevens, professional speech-writer extraordinaire.

This book, Best Man Wedding Speeches- How to be Fearless, Funny and Flawless! tells you everything you need to know about being an incomparable Best Man – not just how to write and deliver a speech, but your responsibilities, how to handle the inevitable difficulties of the big day, what’s going to be expected of you, how to quell stage-fright and overactive nerves, handy suggestions for a glitch-preventing emergency kit …. all this, as well as twenty professionally written speeches to choose from.

What a relief!

WHAT YOU GET: THE NITTY-GRITTY

The main attraction of this package is, of course, those twenty exquisitely crafted, witty professional wedding speeches (did I mention that these have been designed to allow you to cut and paste the parts you like, and adjust names and situations, to suit your own individualized needs?)

In addition to this, you also get some pretty in-depth information on how to make your audience laugh, how to use emotion to the best effect in your speech, detailed do’s and don’ts to prevent common slip-ups on the big day, information on speech, toasting, and general wedding etiquette, and practical tips on speech delivery (including some pretty effective stuff on how to quell stage-fright and cope with nerves).

There’s also an entire section that’s dedicated to the more creative Best Men: you get professional advice on writing your very own speech, what to consider when using a professional writer, a list of clever quotes for extra zest, and top ten tips for being the star of the day (after the bride and groom, of course!)

ANY EXTRAS?

In addition to the actual book itself, you also get a whole bunch of tempting (and useful!) freebies, too.
For example, you get four handy bonus books:

- ‘Total Unstoppable Confidence’, which tells you how to eliminate nervousness and anxiety. This comes as a downloadable audio-track, written and delivered by a professional hypnotherapist – so all you have to do is put your headphones on, sit back, and soak up the information
- ‘Jokes, Quotes, and One-Liners’, which teaches you how to make the funniest speech of the day
- ‘Bachelor Party Ideas’, which is full of fresh ideas for themes, cocktails, practical jokes, and pranks for the most original bucks’ night bash ever
- ‘Sample Toasts’, which supplies you with over 100 sample toasts in a variety of styles, humors, and conventions

One other bonus which I thought was particularly useful is the private email consultation – with Dan Stevens himself, no less. If you have questions about your upcoming speech, want to run a few ideas by a professional, or just need some more advice, all you have to do is write him an email – and he’ll personally answer your email himself. Pretty impressive!

BEST MAN SPEECHES – IN A NUTSHELL

Altogether, this is a pretty impressive package. Dan’s got all the bases covered here – a huge variety of relevant, useful information on every single aspect of being a Best Man, from the speech-writing and delivery itself to handling problematic guests to wedding etiquette.

In short: literally everything you’ll ever need to pull off your responsibilities as Best Man with style and panache are included here.

But don’t take my word for it: check it out for yourself (and have a look at a couple of those testimonials while you’re there – if they don’t convince you, then nothing will!)
