For many of the traditional wedding speeches, there are general rules of who to thank. But luckily, the mother of the bride toast is different. Typically, the thank you\u2019s are handled by the father of the bride and the groom himself. So, as the bride\u2019s mom, all you have to do is focus on your daughter, her new spouse and wishes for the future.<\/p>\n<p>But, if you are giving your toast in place of an absent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-planning\/father-of-the-bride-speech-examples\">father of the bride<\/a>, thank you\u2019s will be necessary. And we know that the worst thing you can do during a speech is to leave an important person out of your mother of the bride speech. After all, speeches generally happen in the early part of the reception so you definitely don\u2019t want to skip anyone&#8230;that could result in a tense and awkward party.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a rundown of who you should thank in your mother of the bride speech when presenting it in lieu of an absent father.<\/p>\n<h3>IN PLACE OF FATHER OF THE BRIDE SPEECH<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thank wedding guests for coming<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thank and acknowledge the groom\u2019s parents<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thank the wedding vendors<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Mention loved ones who aren\u2019t physically attending<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it! The groom is the one that is really responsible for all of the thank you\u2019s, including the bridesmaids and groomsmen. So, keep your mother of the bride short, sweet, sentimental and yes, even a little emotional.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52164\" style=\"width: 1160px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-52164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding guests at table raise champagne glasses to toast newlyweds\" width=\"1160\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-949x632.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-549x366.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-472x315.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding guests at table raise champagne glasses to toast newlyweds\" width=\"1160\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-949x632.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-549x366.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/shutterstock_740313415-472x315.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/noscript> Image Source: Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">HERE\u2019S A FEW EXAMPLES OF MOTHER OF THE BRIDE SPEECHES FOR INSPIRATION<\/h2>\n<h3>SHORT &amp; SWEET MOTHER OF THE BRIDE TOAST<\/h3>\n<p>Here is an example of a short mother of the bride speech.
