Depending on who is giving them, a toast can be the most delightful or mortifying part of a wedding reception. Unfortunately, you never know how it'll turn out until it's too late..
Toasts serve one purpose- to introduce the bride's former world to the groom & his to hers & paint a picture of the life they'll build together.
Toast Etiquettes:
1. Keep it short & formal
2. Usually given by the best man, maid of honour,a close friend or relative.
3. Plan what you're going to say. Spend time in thought & carefully put together the message you want to convey to the couple, family & friends. What you'd like others to know about them- individually & as a couple.
4. Rehearse your toast. Verbalise it. Be familiar with the wording. Don't cram it, let it flow.
5. A toast should end with a drink by everyone. It's impolite not to join in & considered as bad luck for the couple.
So, raise a glass high & as u click glasses with other guests, keep in mind that unless your toast was very bad, no one really remembers it.
To the happy couple, your first sip together symbolises a life of sharing & everyone drinking at the same time expresses communion
