Giving a sincere toast to the bride and groom at the reception can be a little nerve racking, especially if you're not looking forward to speaking in front of hundreds of people. I have some tips to help you pull off a memorable toast! Your toast should be respectful - remember that the bride and groom's entire extended family are present, not just fun-loving friends that may appreciate an over-the-top toast. You'll want to be entertaining, brief and appear comfortable when you have everyone's attention. The toast will have three parts: 1) An opening - thank the appropriate people and how wonderfully the event has been, remark on how beautiful the bride and groom are. 2) The middle - you can tell a short story or anecdote about
your relationship with the bride. 3) A closing - end your toast with a thoughtful wish or blessing for the couple and their new life together |
