  • The Basics of Reception Toasts

  • Determining the order:

  • The couple should decide on the order of the toasts well before the wedding, and let each person know when he or she will speak. It's a good idea to write down the order and give it to the best man or the DJ; he/she can serve as toastmaster, ushering speakers to the microphone and discreetly signaling them if the toast goes on too long.
  • The best man can signal the start of the toasts by gently tapping the rim of his glass with a spoon or by asking for everyone's attention over the microphone. No one should feel forced to give a toast. If the best man is very uncomfortable speaking before a large audience, the maid of honor or the bride's father can step in for him.
  • If you have a feeling a lot of your guests will want to give toasts, you might want to limit the reception to a traditional toast (order: best man, maid of honor, parents, bride and groom) and ask the DJ to instruct all others to save their speeches for the money dance instead.
  • Toasting Tips

  • Plan it out:

  • While you will certainly want your words to come from the heart, you are not expected to wing it when you get up there. A few weeks beforehand, collect your thoughts and decide what you will say. Practice reciting your toast a few times until it's familiar and comfortable.
  • Be personal:

  • The best toasts include personal accounts of first encounters or good times together; a wedding is not the place to dredge up embarrassing tales or old romances. Inside jokes will be lost on others, so make sure to tell a story that everyone can appreciate. If you're good at it, humor will surely be well-received, but don't force it. Just be yourself.
  • Keep it short:

  • A toast can be as brief as a few sentences, and it should not go on for more than three minutes. Any longer and guests may lose interest — especially if there are many speakers still to come.
  • Write it down:

  • Although you should not read word-for-word from a note card, jotting down some key points can help you remember all you want to say and do so with confidence.
  • Stay calm:

  • It's normal to be nervous. As you rise to give your toast, take a deep breath, look at the person you're toasting, and speak directly to him or her. And remember to speak slowly.
  • Wish them well:

  • A toast to the bride and groom should end with hopeful wishes for a happy future. Offer personal advice, or pull inspiration from historical quotes, literature, even song lyrics—whatever represents your true sentiments. The final gesture is, of course, to raise a glass and take a sip.
