Having set responsibilities helps a dad feel needed and included in your special day. If he\u2019s a nervous or introverted type, these tasks help him relax and go with the flow. If he\u2019s a creative and outgoing type, these help him focus and connect with your vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of jobs that father figures would love to help with. Start with these father of the bride duties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greeting guests and getting everyone seated before the ceremony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walking you down the aisle and &#8220;giving you away&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving a toast at your reception or rehearsal dinner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helping out financially (if he can of course)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coordinating his outfit with the groom and groomsmen to feel a part of the wedding party<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Participating in the father-daughter dance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making sure the wedding is organized and the vendors are happy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing emotional support and easing wedding-day jitters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer inspiring messages or advice for the newlyweds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Including your father figures in final walkthroughs, asking them to help you make centerpieces and floral arrangements, and trusting them to make sure things go smoothly on your big day \u2014 these are ideal ways to honor your dad and the other important men in your life.

If your partner is a groom, he might invite the father of the bride to get ready with him and his groomsmen\u2026 This is a great way for him to win brownie points with his future father-in-law and make him feel included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from some fantastic bonding time, it also gives your father figure a chance to impart some last-minute words of wisdom as the first \u201cman in your life,\u201d which can make for such a sentimental moment. If this kind of bonding is natural to your family\u2019s and partner\u2019s personalities, this is a great opportunity for this kind of meeting to happen organically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ask-one-of-your-father-figures-to-officiate-the-wedding\"><strong>Ask One Of Your Father Figures To Officiate The Wedding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to go a step above your father figure walking you down the aisle, ask the father of the bride to officiate the wedding and sign your marriage license! This is an ideal opportunity to make your story full circle and have a more personal, intimate ceremony from someone who knows you best. (Plus, no more random officiants in the background of all your wedding photos, just the father of the bride lovingly watching you start your happily-ever-after.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-suit-shopping-with-your-father-figures\"><strong>Go Suit Shopping With Your Father Figures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/maggie-sottero\/selena\/16527\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"898\" data-id=\"57170\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-700x898.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Selena by Maggie Sottero walking down the aisle with her father\" class=\"wp-image-57170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-700x898.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-250x321.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-768x985.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-1197x1536.jpg 1197w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-1597x2048.jpg 1597w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-120x154.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BCR20499-1-scaled.jpg 1996w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Absolute Photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glam is for dads too!

This is also a great tip if your father figure can&#8217;t make it dress shopping with you; you don\u2019t have to miss out on that special getting-ready moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-give-your-father-figures-a-gift-on-the-big-day\">Give Your Father Figures A Gift On The Big Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gifting is classic, and giving your father something sweet and personalized on your wedding day is sure to make him feel extra special.

If it\u2019s right for your personality, this ritual represents your bond with your father and the love and gratitude you two have for each other \u2014 and a sweet and meaningful moment for your honored guests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan a father-daughter dance by choosing a favorite or sentimental song between the two of you. Some father-daughter duos enjoy something more upbeat and choreographed, while others prefer a slow dance with time to talk to your dad one-on-one before your exit. Choose what works for your vibe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These planned dances aren\u2019t just for the father of the bride \u2014 stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and any special father figure in your life can be included as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-have-a-moment-alone-with-him-before-the-ceremony\"><strong>Have A Moment Alone With Him Before The Ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/maggie-sottero\/ekaterina\/18272\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-id=\"57173\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Ekaterina walking down the aisle with her father\" class=\"wp-image-57173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-42-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/maggie-sottero\/ekaterina\/18272\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" data-id=\"57174\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"Bride wearing Ekaterina walking down the aisle with her father\" class=\"wp-image-57174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1-120x160.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/EKATERINA_MadisonRichardsPhoto_Hughes-40-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Madison Richards Photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If quality time is the father of the bride&#8217;s love language, make sure to spend some with him before you walk down the aisle.
