Wedding Toast




At a wedding there is more than one toast held. The first toast is the best man’s, but after that others may say some things and have their own speeches. Every toast has to bring something new and has to be putted in accord with the couple’s personality. It has to be very personal and it has to be specially written for the newlyweds, but without ignoring the other guests. Some decide to hold a wedding toast that says something about the bride or the groom, a story about how they met or how they spend their life together until the moment of their wedding. Others decide to introduce some funny moments in their speeches. Here are some things you should say to make your wedding toast creative and appreciated by both guests and newlyweds.




Tell stories about the groom and the bride. Do not say just how special the newly married couple is, instead show the guest this by telling some funny but emotional stories from their lives as a couple. The only thing you have to do is to be creative. Tell stories about them, but search for elements that are unique and special for the couple. Talk about a travel they made, or tell something about the day they got engaged. Include other relatives or friends in your wedding toast.

Everyone likes to receive attention, whether they are parents, relatives or friends of the couple and the fact is that everyone want to be recognized their special status in the life of the ones that are the center of attention. Avoid making jokes that are known only by you. Jokes are appropriate in a speech but you must be very careful about what joke you say, because some things may be found as offensive or disturbing for some of the guests. Avoid saying something about the problems that the couple had to face or about the difficulties that appeared in the wedding planning. Do not say something that can be seen as mean even if you do it in a funny way. You can be critical about yourself and this way make the speech funnier and more relaxed, but there are some limits you should not pass.

Do not forget to thank everyone for their presence on this very important day and at the end of the wedding toast with you have to make a wish for the bride and the groom and their future life together. The toast is even more appreciated when you manage to make both the couple and their guests feel special. Of course the married couple has to be the center of attention, but you do not have to speak only about them.

    I wanted to share this with you, since it was you that helped me make my best toast ever. Before my best friend got married she asked me to have a toast. Of course I agreed, but I knew nothing about them. So I searched and searched and found your tips about writing the best toast. So I used them and let me tell they were all laughing with tears in the end and they were so glad about what I wished for. I knew they wanted something funnier, especially since the toast before mine was pretty dull and too traditional. And I just did what you said: I didn’t include just them, i laughed about me and I added a personal touch by talking about them as a couple.
