Wedding Toasts
The engagement party, the
celebratory cheers and thanks. Here, tips on how to do it, and do it well.
Pre-Toast Prep
It's always a good idea to take some time pre there are probably young ears in the room and they surely won't get your joke about the first time the bride and groom hooked up in your dorm room at college. Not a good idea.
Who Toasts and in What Order?
Here is a basic suggestion of how to run the
toasts. Keep in mind that you can bend the rules as needed to fit in all the people who care to chime in.
* At the rehearsal dinner, the parents, or whoever is hosting, usually makes the first
toast to welcome everyone. They may do another later on as well to congratulate the bride and groom.
* The best man is the first to start the
toast the couple after the best man.
* At this point, it's the groom's turn to
return his thanks, first to the bride, then to his best man, the parents, and then to the bridesmaids.
* The best man can then
thank the groom on behalf of the bridesmaids.
* If anyone else would like to
toast, this is the time to do it.
* Finally, the father of the bride thanks the guests and leads a
party may begin.
