Write it down & then say it from your heart. It will make you more calm when delivering toast.Yahoo search has some good examples.

Well, you can always talk to the people at the table you're seated with.  Bring a camera and take lots of pictures of the bride and groom and your boyfriend - since he's the best man, he will be busy all day long - you could buy a nice photo album, arrange all the photos you took and give it to him as a gift.  I bet he would really enjoy flipping thru that!!  And it would give you something to do during the ceremony and reception.

Good for you 'old coots' and I hope you enjoy the gift certificate.  You'll actually enjoy it.  Cloth napkins, fancy dishes, it's all good.  Just remember your manner...help your new lady with her chair and her coat...and order your most favorite dish.  A country boy like yourself can probably find a good steak on the menu...you can splurge on desserts...and a bottle of wine if you prefer.  Won't it be fun to dine in and not worry about the check.  Be sure to write a thank you note to the person who gave you the gift certificate and you've got the rest of your life to dine at BK.  Jazz up your clothing for the event (no overalls), help your new bride with the door and be whomever you want to be for the evening.  Just be sure you save some energy for the fun you'll have when you return home.  Enjoy....and good luck.

Have the kids cut out pictures from old magazines and newspapers. Try to find pictures of stuff that dad would be interested in, eg., gardening, boating, sporting events, etc. Paste the pictures on a big piece of construction paper. Add a special poem for Father's Day.\n\n \n\n;;;;\nFather's Day Gift Certificates\nThis is one of the most popular crafts (not just for Fathers Day but for any occasion). The gift certificates could reflect whatever dad would like. These personal crafts make a lasting impression. \n\nWrite the "gift certificates" on small pieces of colored construction paper and place them in spots around the house when dad would be sure to find them. \n\nSome ideas for Father's Day gift certificates could include: \n\n"Wash the Car" \n"One Saturday Matinee (my treat)"\n"Rake the Leaves" \n"Mow the Lawn"\n"Weed the Garden"\n"Clean the Gutters"\n"Clean the Garage"\n"Take out the Garbage"\n\nYou get the idea! Use your imagination. You can even include blank cards that dad can fill out himself".\n\n \n\n;;;

Make a little booklet of chores you will do for Dad:\n\nSew on a button\nWash the car\nFix his favorite dessert or food\nShine his shoes\n\nWhatever else you can think of that he would enjoy. Tell him that he can use these "Coupons" any time during the year until next Father's Day.

at my wedding I gave out candy tied in tool with a bell attached. I included a hershey hug, a kiss, and a dove promise. everyone thought it was cute. Another idea I heard of was putting seeds in a cute box, adding something about "watching love grow".

Happy Father's Day!  I like the idea of asking him.  Even though it is your day, ask him if he knows a good activity/place for celebrating Father's Day.  If he picks a place that is totally for him, ask him if that is something a father would enjoy.  Or, go to his place first, then tell him about yours.  Another option would be to pick somewhere that the two of you can be alone.  Enjoy the time you have together before he grows up.  (and he becomes too cool to hang out with his father or becomes too busy)  I like the kayak idea.

Make sure that any monies payable to venders on the day of are paid (with bridal couples $$$), make the first toast,Be appropriate and do not mention any one night stands the groom may have had. Sign the marriage certificate, MAKE SURE THE GROOM EATS PRIOR TO EVENT to prevent passing out!!!!  Make sure that no one in the bridal party gets too trashed. Hold on to the rings, it is also nice to get the other groomsmen out on the dance floor and encourage them to dance with girls, young and old that may be there solo. Trust me...it means the world to them... I will never forget a guy who asked me to dance with him, even though I had a wedding ring on, because my husband could not make it to the wedding. Overall, be classy and have fun. Oh yeah, it is also your job to deliver any gift that the groom may have for his bride on the day of the wedding. Take a picture of her opening it or a video...it will be something they will treasure forever.

My husband actually had to do this for his parents 50th wedding anniversary.  We got alot of input afterwards from his parents as to what parts they liked the best.  It seems they enjoyed hearing about what they all did as a family throughout the years, such as family vacations, special Christmases, that sort of thing.  My husband said a few humorous things regarding all that too.  They also liked hearing how they were a good example of what love and marriage is all about.  I think once you start bringing up all your good memories, your speech will practically write itself.  Good Luck!

Do something that you've always wanted to do but didn't or couldn't. Spend the entire day with him sharing your wishes with him and making a few of them come true.  It can be anything at all. Doesn't have to be expensive either. \n\nI would go to the sea aquarium and then have a nice dinner on a patio somewhere with drinks. Afterwards, a nice walk on the beach and then goto a movie or rent a dvd for home. Don't forget a stop at the bakery along the way for some cheesecake and coffee!.

Father's day is on the 18th of June. I would say get him a gift certificate to a restaurant. Do make sure it is amount that if he likes to drink he can have at least two. Also if he likes golf you can go get him a certificate for a round or driving range.But you can never go wrong with those,us men like certificate just as well as women.lol.

Bake something yummy. Guys are always impressed by a girl that can bake, something homemade like cinnamon rolls or pumpkin muffins or chewy cookies (don't give them to him if you overbake them, it won't be so impressive), etc. With the baked goods you could give him some anime pens or something, tied to the package with some curling ribbon and a nice card. \n\nI snagged my husband by cooking for him, guys LOVE it :)

Here's a suggestion: For the honeymoon, go out and buy something sexy, something he'd never think you'd wear( get the shoes, stockings, etc)> Go to the bathroom at the hotel your staying at for the honeymoon and tell him to sit and wait! Get into the outfit, do your makeup and hair, then call out to him to maybe light a few candles and turn on some music(I suggest a cd with a pre-practiced song) and then come out dancing for him, tease him...Men love that stuuf, talk about spicy!!\n\nWorked for me!!
