What are some funny father of the bride speech jokes?

Start with a light joke about the cost of the wedding, such as saying you now understand why your own father looked so relieved. You can tease your daughter about her childhood, like the time she locked you out of the house, or her habit of borrowing your car without asking. A classic is comparing your son-in-law to yourself, saying he must be brave, patient or just very good at pretending to listen. Keep each joke to one or two sentences and avoid anything about appearance, weight, ex-partners or family tensions. The best structure is to open with a funny story, move into sincere praise, and end with a toast. If you are nervous, practise the jokes aloud so you know the timing. A joke that falls flat is fine if you smile and move on. The audience wants you to succeed, so keep it kind and keep it brief.
