You know, I've decided that if I have a formal wedding, I'm going to have my mom and younger brother walk me down the aisle instead of my father. It's sort of comforting to see someone else making a similar choice. :)
Of course, I'm probably not going to invite him to my wedding at all, but if I were going to I would just send him a regular invitation. If he asked about it, I'd just tell him flat-out that I don't want him to be the one giving me away.

I think this completely depends on how your father feels about walking you down the aisle in the first place. If he doesn't want to, then just a simple "we've decided not to do that" should suffice. But if he was looking forward to it or you're not sure, it would probably be best to sit him down, and let him know. Tell him the reasoning behind what you chose. Also let him know how important he is to you as your father, etc. Just kind of make sure he understands that you're not just rejecting him. Good luck!

It depends on the situation and the relationship between you and your dad. If he was a jerk your whole life, then he probably isn't expecting to walk you down the aisle anyways and then its no big deal. But if he's been like the greatest dad ever in the history of the world and you are not letting him walk you down the aisle because you want all the attention to be on you then you should just break his heart quickly, like oulling off a bandaid.

I didn't have my dad walk me down the aisle but I didn't really talk about it with him specifically... I just let everybody know that I would be walking alone. It is kind of an old school idea anyway... I did not feel I was his to give away... He walked my mom down the aisle and that worked out perfect...

Assuming that you have a good reason for your decision, just let him know why you chose not to have him escort you, if he has done something so bad that you don't want him to have the honor, then he might not like it but he will just have to understand.
You might however, find a way to acknowledge him through out your ceremony, such as sitting in the family aisle or at least give him a boutonniere.

need more information on the reason you don't want him walking you down the aisle before that question can be answered.

Why don't you want him walking you down the aisle?

Why isn't he walking you down the aisle?? I guess it's your wedding and you can do whatever you want, however you will probably hurt his feelings. Is that worth it?

"Dad, you won't be walking me down the aisle"

Just tell him straight. I'm guessing theres a valid reason for this decision in which case you will need to be diplomatic.
