Iron on would be quickest, you can buy kits to DIY.
Sorry for your loss, it's a sweet idea.
do you mean get iron on letters and spell it out? Or does somewhere sell an iron on "father of the bride"?
At out mall in the center, there is a both that does embroidery on things like handbags, towels, sheets, etc they could probably do it if there is a similar one in your mall. The other place to check for embroidery is uniform stores- places that would sell chef coats, doctors lab coats, janitors shirts etc. Its super common for people to have these items embroidered with their name, so many of them have a machine on site that does the embroidery and could do it for you. The last resort I would try would be a sewing/quilting shop- especially if they sell embroidery sewing machines. I know the shop near me has a few models set up for display, and they'd probably do a small piece like that for me under the circumstances if I asked.
I think you'd need to get individual letters. You could also do an acrylic paint hankie. I'm not sure how it works, but my mum has a pillow she painted using a kit and you'd never think she made it.
If you have Big W in the states check there, I saw one the other day :)
If you have the time to wait for shipping try Etsy.com and see if the seller will put a rush order on it for you.
@nikkialys: Great ideas. I wonder if the Things Remembered does it? They have a booth in our mall?? I can check that out easy. Thanks for all the ideas!!
@Lovemelovemyhorses: Okay. I did get the hanky. So after I call around this might be the direction I go.
@plchansen: I'm afraid it just won't get here...and honestly I'd rather give him this blank hankie than no hankie...just not worth the risk. But that's def a good idea for FI's father who I also accidentally bought a MOB hankie for...
@icetea: If your wedding date listed is correct, I think you would be fine ordering from Etsy, most of the vendors will post a production time, usually no more than a week then another couple days for shipping. You could always keep the blank one to have on hand just incase the embroidered one doesn't arrive on time.
@plchansen: Well it's not for the wedding anymore, it's for my guardian's memorial since he passed away on Friday. I was planning to give it to him at the wedding but now will give it to him at his memorial in early Dec.
my condolences, maybe wrap a handwritten note to him in the blank handkerchief.
@plchansen: Thank you truly. And yes this might actually be the best option.

I'm a dum dum and bought 3 mother of the bride handkerchiefs and no father of the bride or father of the groom.
I was going to give a father of the bride handkerchief to my guardian, who passed away last friday. We are having his memorial on Dec. 8th. I'm in school and out of state also. I'm quite overwhelmed needless to say.
I digress, so anyway I can return the mother of the bride hankies but they don't sell father of the bride at the store...they do have blank hankies though. So if I did this how/where could I get the hanky embrodiered on a time crunch. Or maybe an iron on or something. I must give this hanky to my guardian...I want him to take it with him into his afterlife...maybe I'm being crazy but if you have ideas please share!
